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.

“The state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.”

Is there a technology the left is excited about?

There is no fundamental difference. A monarchy can be an authoritarian regime, too. The only way change happens is by people demanding it, and the UK public has been very vocal about this.

Congrats, Darby!

Sadly the audiobook is not available in my region. If there's anyone I should contact to beg for a wider release, please let me know!

I was wondering about the spelling of some words but figured it was just how Dutch people spoke in olden times. Thanks for the correction!

That's Dutch

This is me with damn near every game and it always ends up with me not finishing the game 90% away from the finish line.

Just kidding, this is beautiful 💖

I was very normal about Leuce and Alice

"The company has informed some users in the UK they may be part of "an experiment" with Persona, an age verification vendor whose investors include Peter Thiel, co-founder of ICE's premier surveillance provider, Palantir."

You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like

Very important:

Meta plans to bring back facial recognition features in their smart glasses and are actively rejoicing that the current chaos in the US will distract people from raising a fuss.

Absolutely critical during this time to raise a fuss.

Jaa, en tiennytkään että asiasta on ollut jotain vääntöä.

Standing with the local Ubisoft employees on strike

What race?? As if the world can only fit in a finite number of books, even on the same topic. As if a book written faster means it's better.

Commissions 50 dollars for a drawing. Seriously! It's a good deal dude!

I need to make some money, so I'm again offering COMMISSIONS $50 for a digital portrait! Anything you want, provided it's a portrait of a person or an animal, and it's not of someone gross like, I don't know, Johnny Depp or something.

I'm not mad at Trump for saying demented shit. I'm mad at the reporters choosing not to push back on any of it.

Every Twitter clone: "We're pro-freedom of speech! We're not going to moderate ANY viewpoints"

Every goddamn time: "Ohh THAT'S why moderating exists"

Ubisoft is no more, long live Ubisoft! On January 21, 2026, Yves Guillemot announced the end of remote work, closure of several studios, cancellation of projects, and a new 200€ million “cost-cutting” plan. We were informed of this at the same time as the press — as none of these changes had been discussed during the mandatory consultations with the works councils a few days earlier! On January 26, 2026, management announced the implementation of a voluntary departure plan that will affect 200 people at Ubisoft’s headquarters. We are promised autonomy for « Creative Houses », but what about autonomy for employees? We have been negotiating for over a year on remote work policy, sometimes under difficult conditions. An agreement has been in place since September in some studios. Trampled underfoot! We are told about responsibilities, but those who wield this word so easily do not take any responsibility for the consequences of their catastrophic management.

We are not fooled: rather than taking financial responsibility for layoffs, they prefer to push us out by making our working conditions unbearable. It’s outrageous. It is because we love Ubisoft that this situation revolts us. Ubisoft’s unions are calling for a massive international strike by all Ubisoft employees on the 10th, 11th and 12th of February 2026. NO to their anti-remote-work obsession to “cost-cutting” plans on employees’ backs to top-down decisions to coercive control on our working conditions YES to our leaders truly taking their responsibilities to management’s duty of sincerity in the face of its failings It is time for our management to understand that they cannot do whatever they want, whether with public money or the work of hundreds of people! Without us, Ubisoft would never have conquered and transformed video games as it has. WE ARE UBISOFT.

🇬🇧✊🌀 Ubisoft : enough is enough! Faced with the arbitrary decision of the CEO who doesn’t even dare talking to employees anymore, unions are calling for a strike on February 10th, 11th and 12th.
