Hackers Expose Age-Verification Software Powering Surveillance Web
Three hacktivists tried to find a workaround to Discord’s age-verification software. Instead, they found its frontend exposed to the open internet.
Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel.

That's what I was thinking on the gold just a little darker shades, and a bit lighter highlights. Wings and white are crazy tough. Thanks for the input! I really appreciate it 😊

I shaded the gold, but don't think I did enough to make it obvious. Also feel the wings needed more contrast as well. It's there, but again not as evident in the end product as I'd like. I'll definitely work to address it on the next model.

Thanks so much! I really tried to lock in on the accuracy of the highlights. Went back and corrected as many mistakes as I could. 🙏

I've been playing through Dragon Quest XI this past week or so. I never expected this game to be so long and involved. Honestly blown away by the length.

I've been in this weird place for the last months. I near totally cut my social media consumption post election. I've been filling that gap with hobbies. It's hard being essentially home bound. My mental health needed it and I still don't know how much I can consume again. These next 4 years... Ugh.

My son is a trach/vent kid. He recently had his first hospitalization in 7 years. The doctors/nurses were amazed and I just explained that masking and caution really work. It's not flawless, but it can really make a difference. Now if only my community cared and atleast wore one while sick...

My son is disabled and relies on Medicaid for skilled nursing coverage. We will not be able to survive without. This could be literally fatal or financially impossible for my family. There are real consequences. I will never forgive my neighbors.

Slowly beginning to take in news related social media for the first time since the election. The nice thing about this so far is I have a slew of non news feeds that seem relatively active. Hopefully it continues to grow
