From the company that cannot figure out that NIST is not an auditor, they will have tamper proof identification.

They are literally building up identification profiles on you. And then Palantir will purchase them and WOWEE look at all that yummy data on the people this current admin hates.

What’s that? You’re gay? You support trans rights? Oh well you can’t apply for a bank account anymore. Persona has deemed you invalid.

You play VRC? Haha Persona has now decided to put you on a list as a “degenerate” so people can know not to give you a job.

Do you see the problem here?

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.

It’s never about “protecting the children” either, it’s all about our governments having control over the population. It’s a manipulative strategy, one so easy to see right through if you do the least bit of thinking for yourself.

So, good start yes, but people need to actively steer the conversation to the political aspects that making this kind of shit more prevalent and not just Discord

Meh, it just moves the conversation and I'm sorry, I'm just too cynical about this.
Any time it finally reaches people directly they're annoyed, but when it just feels like an idea that's passing around they're not doing too much

y'all are complaining about Discord adding whatever this is for age verification but we need to do the actual political pushback needed to avoid further of that shit everywhere

Welcome to 1984. This is our future going forward.

But that's just it, even if it was rock-solid, we know it's not about "protecting the kids", it's about eliminating privacy and putting people under constant surveillance. It's evil, and we know the government and these corporations are not our friends.

Can we stop gating things behind Discord, yet?

Be it information, game mods, game dev, etc. I don't want to join your Discord for a snippet of information.

Discord is not a replacement for forums, social media, or encyclopedias. Please stop making Discord servers for everything, it's exhausting.

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.

Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month - all accounts set to "teen-appropriate experience" by default www.theverge.com/tech/875309/...

Honestly, I thought I did something wrong lol.

Jerry Lawson, the inventor of the video game cartridge.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.

The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.

Happy Black History Month.

I've been having fun playing lots of Baldur's Gate 3 lately! Currently on a run as an Oath of Vengeance Paladin named Kordest (who is a Dragonborn). My primary party members, as seen here, have been Shadowheart... Karlach... and Gale.

Just recently got to Act 3, here's hoping I ACTUALLY finish it.

I nearly thought that was Night Mind.

Finally, a real PSA.

Glad you like it! :)

i beg people who use computers to actually understand how computers work. a survey opened in chrome cannot grab your account from the discord client.

the survey was legitimate, hosted by discord's customer experience platform, connected to their official internal SSO portal. it was a real survey.

Comm from @jaxi00.bsky.social for their OC! Her name is Florie Lynda :3

I can neither confirm nor deny that I’m mixed with sand.

As of today I’ve removed Twitter from my phone and locked my account.

Elon going all in on Generative AI, including enabling Grok to generate deepfakes OF MINORS is unconscionable.

This year we ALL need to be louder than ever about this: GenAI is largely unethical and needs to be regulated.

Proof I'm also a Squirtle!

Yeah that doesn’t surprise me one bit.

I remember when it launched back then and Microsoft had this thing where you could search on both it and Google simultaneously to compare the results. I believe they were seeking suggestions or something.

Either way, it never appealed to me lol.
