I'm actually going to lose my mind, Gavin Newsom signed into CA law an age verification bill back in October requiring OPERATING SYSTEMS (including open source ones) to require id starting next year... Whomever lives in CA please tell him this is unconstitutional to gate technology like this!

So, uh... why aren't you going after basically every other game publisher doing lootboxes too? I fail to see the point of this lawsuit going after one of the few game publishers and distributors that gamers actually like. Why aren't you hitting Blizzard or EA.

So genAI is guzzling water, making computers and phones more expensive, making the spread of misinformation worse, making students dumber, and putting artists out of jobs...

...for basically *zero* economic value.

Cool. Wonderful. Amazing.

Discord ends partnership with controversial age verification software, Twitch immediately says hold my beer and tells new affiliates to submit faces and IDs to the same service "Ask yourself who's on the other side of that camera, and what list you just landed on"

Remember if you oppose age verification that invades your privacy you should also be voting out any lawmakers that push for it. Remember they say it’s to protect kids but ultimately they are striving to deannonymize the net.

I hear that discord has pushed verification back but remember, this is by no means a win. They still intend to move forward with violating our privacy for age verification. You absolutely should keep cancelling nitro and checking out alternate platforms and also push back against legislators too.

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.

#discord So I found this while browsing recently. Seems discords' verification partner wants to use our verification for a surveillance dragnet.

Protecting children is NEVER the main goal for this.

I thought this was Armstrong and a chimera fma fan art before I saw deadlock.

The discord and papers please logos combined given that discord is trying to force us all to de-anonymize

Not sure who made this but kudos to them!

Pretty cool keep kinda thought this might be a thing some day!

A graphic with two vertical halves. The left half, with green background and check marks, says: "A safer internet IS MADE BY Encryption, Privacy, and Open Source"; the right half, with red background and crosses, says "A safer internet is NOT MADE BY Age verification, Scanning communication, or Tracking & data collection." #saferinternetday

Reposting this with alt text.

This is not Discord “walking things back.” This is them further explaining the situation in more detail, and elaborating on how the new system will work. I understand the impulse to attribute this to outrage and Nitro cancellations, but this is just a better explanation, not a change.

Remember to cancel your #discord nitro. The only way to fight back against this is to hit them in the pocketbook. Fight back against compulsory age verification and for your privacy!

I’d say go recent amd with at least 12 go or more of vram. I say amd in case you wanna eventually ditch windows

The Steam Machine has been delayed because stupid little babies can't stop using AI to write their emails:

I find that they feel like parts of me where certain aspects are exaggerated. Each one having certain obvious differences.

Real cool how they tried to ban TikTok over privacy concerns and data harvesting, and then turn right around and do this. It's almost as if their concerns over privacy and data harvesting was just that the U.S. wasn't completely monopolizing it.

Call your reps. Let them know that if they vote for ICE funding, you will not vote for them ever again.

Representatives need to feel the heat. NO on ICE funding. No excuses.

a racist dragnet of terror. They have even been given the green light to murder us and claim self defense. Remember to help notify your neighbors of I.C.E. activity in your area and inform friends and neighbors of their rights or how to outright avoid them. If you support ICE, fuck off.

The administration even does its best to gaslight us into thinking that they are only going after criminals which has been proven blatantly false. They drag people out of their homes and places of work who have no criminal background too and are in many cases citizens as well who get caught up in...

They are a poorly trained organization with poor vetting of employees that the administration refuses to keep accountable. They terrorize neighborhoods and bring harm to those who are contributing members of our society. They assault, kidnap, and deposit people in poorly maintained facilities...

At this point given all the evil bullshit I.C.E. is doing is untenable and should absolutely result in the abolition of the organization and the prosecution of the brutality committed by those working under it.If you support them I want absolutely nothing to do with you.

I'm honestly glad I trusted my gut and didn't take this quiz circulating around on Bsky

Remember folks, we're still on the Internet, don't trust every link you see even if it seems silly and harmless

What manner of birb?

reminder to trash your ring doorbells if you have them, bc if you don't you are complicit in snitching on your neighbors!
i DON'T care if they were expensive or how much yo use them, no money or convenience is worth a human life!!

Police Unmask Millions of Surveillance Targets Because of Flock Redaction Error Flock is going after a website called HaveIBeenFlocked.com that has collated public records files released by police.

If Flock is in your community, you should be going to every city council meeting and screaming about it until they get rid of it.
