Fuck it, I'm going the Yaoi route

Listen, I may be happy being alone on Valentine's Day, but that doesn't mean I wasn't going to experience anything that involves relationships

Now starting Haven

Bad parking should be illegal. I shouldn't have to go someplace and be disgusted by someone who thought taking up two spaces instead of one is a good idea

turns out the discord situation is worse! the company that will be doing the age verifications with IDs is Persona, a peter thiel aligned company

we're going to try to wind down the Kill The Computer discord and try to get a subreddit for the podcasts community up and running

My review of Ridge Racer: bckl.gg/roPi

Oh you mean the company funded by PETER THIEL?

As for humans, Persona hopes to build identity profiles for each person using the hundreds of activities they do online over time, like ordering food or scrolling social media, so Persona can more quickly verify they’re human. Song said these profiles would be tamper resistant and reusable so that they can be submitted on any site during the verification process, which he thinks people will want to use despite the obvious privacy tradeoffs. “Today you're disclosing more and more about yourself. You're just giving up so much information,” Song said. “Our dream is this idea of a self-sovereign, personally-owned portable identity.” https://www.forbes.com/sites/rashishrivastava/2025/04/30/ai-is-making-the-internets-bot-problem-worse-this-2-billion-startup-is-on-the-front-lines/

This is who you are sending your data to when you use age verification with Discord or VRChat.

Because they aren’t using it for age, they legitimately want to track you everywhere, everyday and learn what you are doing.

Fall out of favor? They know everything to make your life hell.

Discord lied.

they’re now sending scanned IDs to persona, a third party company.

“facial scans will never leave your device” -discord lmao.

This makes it the second State of Play that impressed me (Other one was June 2024)

More of like this PlayStation

Now that was a fucking State of Play right there

I'm so fucking happy dude

Castlevania Belmont's Curse coming 2026

Tamer Nahed 𓂆🇵🇸 @Tamer_Alnoaizy BlueSky is one of the worst platforms I have ever dealt with. Within seconds of creating a second account, after my first one was shut down just two days after it was created, my account was closed again. This happened despite the fact that I hadn’t posted anything or followed anyone. I was only in the process of adding a profile photo, yet I received an email claiming that my account was “spam” and that it was “causing harm.” What kind of logic is this? The painful truth is that the account was shut down the moment it became clear it was created from inside Gaza. It seems we are no longer allowed to write or speak about what is happening to us here. They are not afraid of content itself, but of our voices and the reality we carry with us. Millions are spent to silence these voices and to erase the truth. I am exhausted by this platform and by how our photos and videos, which document real suffering, are treated as “violations of community standards,” as if pain itself has become a crime. What is happening is not simple moderation or policy enforcement. It is an attempt to erase our existence and bury the truth. And honestly, this is shameful and unbearably painful. [the original poster has included two screenshots showing the email from bluesky admin informing him that his account has been taken down for being 'spammy, inauthentic or disruptive to users'. it's the standard boilerplate you get when they take moderation action.] 2:45 PM · Feb 10, 2026 https://twitter.com/Tamer_Alnoaizy/status/2021234178461704409

palestinian journalist posting on twitter that his bluesky account was immediately taken down purely because he was in gaza. all palestinian accounts are assumed to be spam.

I should feel bad about this, but this collection was made by Limited Run, so fuck them

The state of the modern internet is just fucking depressing. Depressing where we have to be at that point where governments/corporations have to step in and do the babysitting

And I definitely don't trust Discord with my personal info for "safety reasons" as they failed to do that

Discord says hackers stole government IDs of 70,000 users As more sites require IDs for user age verification, expect more such breaches to come.

i don't have all the answers for how to look out for kids in the digital age but I strongly suspect completely isolating them entirely is not the solution. we're entering this bizarre as shit world where kids aren't allowed to be anywhere online, but there are no truly adult spaces either.

Weatherby's review of Sonic Megamix Mania | Backloggd Finally, a version of <em>Sonic Megamix</em> that doesn't have Tweaker's stain on it. Unfortunately, this did force a bunch of Markiplier videos on my computer, which is almost as bad. <br><br>I've sa...

What the fuck is up with all the Markiplier memes in this motherfucking Sonic rom hack?

My review of Sonic Megamix Mania:

I don't listen to Bad Bunny, but I liked the Halftime Show. Now I can go back to not caring about the Super Bowl

Yeah I'm kind of hooked with RetroAchievements as I currently have 12 masteries. Installing EmuDeck was honestly the best thing I've done with my Steam Deck outside of buying it
