"Magus, why do you care if Discord/Tumblr/whatever platform restricts or removes NSFW features?"

Because I'm a trans person living in America, and these fascist fucks have been wanting to legally define trans existence as inherently obscene for years:

I'm sorry- (paraphrased) "We can pre-identify adults based on information we have about the users that aren't their messages!" WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN??? That does NOT make me feel any better. 😮‍💨

Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)
Tl;dr: The vast majority of adults will never have to interact with our age assurance systems and their experience won't change, because we know Discord and how people use it, so we're designing to respect privacy and deliver a safer experience while minimizing friction for adults. Hey folks – I’ve been on Discord since very early 2016 and actually joined the company in 2017. Safety is one of my areas, so today’s announcement on our blog is something I’ve been pretty involved with. I’ve always cared about Discord's approach to privacy (E2EE for A/V was another of my projects here), so I figured I’d add some more context to today's news. I can say confidently that the vast majority of people will never see age verification. I say this because we launched age assurance in the UK and Australia in 2025, and we have some pretty good data on this now. The idea here is that we can pre-identify most adults based on what we already know (not including your messages!), and that looks to get us pretty far here. No face scans, no IDs, for the vast majority of adults. And if you are one of the smaller subset of folks that we can't definitively pre-identify, then still, you only have to do it if you're accessing age-restricted servers or channels, or changing certain settings. That's really not most users. (Altho... might be more Redditors, tbh.) Last, I know that there is concern about privacy and data leaks. That's a real concern. The selfie system is built purely client-side, it never leaves your device, and we did that intentionally. That'll work for a bunch of users who aren't pre-identified as adults. But if you do end up in the ID bucket, then yeah, you're right that has some risk. We're doing what we can to minimize this by working with our range of partners (who are different partners than the data leak you read about), and if it's any help, we learned a lot internally from the last issue. But I get if that doesn't necessarily inspire more confidence. Anyway, we’ll be sharing more next month as we get closer to the global roll out about the system, including the technology behind it in March. I honestly wouldn't be happy if we didn't build something good and I am excited about what we’re launching, but please let us know what you think when we share more details. And I really appreciate everybody's feedback here today. We’re definitely reading it!

Just spreading the news, Discord is Down in March as far as I'm concerned.

Reminder: They've had multiple data breaches, (themselves + 3rd Party Vendors) regarding this stuff in the past. Be careful if you decide to stay.

Still super proud of this #nge piece I did of #ShinjiIkari and #KaworuNagisa.
I packed a lot of symbolism into it - at least tried too- that I hope can be picked up by those who've watched the show.

The full piece of Kaworu and Shinji’s image.
Kaworu and Shinji face e center of the canvas from opposite sides of the image. Shinji stares at his hand in horror, which mirrors unit1s which cups Kaworu. A sketchy, jagged, multicolored Lineart exists around both Unit 1s Lineart, and the sketch of Lilith in the background. The space around Lilith is black and red, full of a glitchy overlay.

@krispydonuts12.bsky.social and I’s Goat and Lamb! Headshots of them, at least!
Goat is their design, while Lamb is mine. Just some stylization practice that I found fun and helpful! Really tried to play with curves vs straight edges on these!
#cotl #cultofthelamb #thelamb #thegoat #newcrownbearers
A headshot of Krispydonuts12 Goat design from Cult of the Lamb. He is made of jagged shapes and lines, baring his teeth in a grin. The crown of war is next to him, a heart instead of the oval pupil as a stylization choice. A headshot of Lamb from Cult of the lamb, stylized as Bambi’s specific Lamb character. She had blood ears running down her face, and a veil partially darkening her eyes. Her mouth is slightly open, smiling on open smile as she looks to the viewer. The crown of death is next to her, it’s oval eye stylized to a heart.

This is inspired by @/Otiksimr on Tumblrs recent posts about how they create art and the like - made me want to try to not take things as seriously and go with the flow. Highly recommend them, they do beautiful work.

I have spent over 13 hours on this thing!! >sobs!<
It’s of my original characters Kings(the two headed wyvern) and Vivian (the fox girl.)
I wanted to play around with dynamic lighting and line less stuff for custom deck sleeves and somehow ended up here!
A two headed wyvern faces the viewer; only its chest, wings, necks, and heads are visible. Behind it is a cloudy moonlit sky, with a crescent moon. In front of the wyvern is a small fox girl, tucked into a makeshift nest just for her. Kings, the wyvern, bends one head down to allow Vivian, the girl, to touch his nose. The other head watches with love and adoration for the small rider as she shows kindness and affection for her friend.

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best. It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

I produced many paintings and drawings of Portsmouth and Southsea but I won't put loads of them on here all at once. Here's a watercolour that was done on a little beach at Sally Port, Old Portsmouth and you can see the masts of the Warrior in the distance

Please I’m begging be careful what you repost. Some good tips here. Assume anything online could be AI at this point. (Especially if it’s meant to evoke a strong emotion or reaction. yes this includes cute animal photos/videos).

"we USE ai, but our game wont CONTAIN it" is a clarification that no one has ever cared about & now CEOs are using it as a wedge to get their foot in the door as a part of a long term plan into normalizing AI, just like how 'it's just placeholder' was used with E33. dont cede even an inch of ground

i understand that these corporations are beloved by many, but as soon as you start defending their use of AI, even if it's "a little bit", i need you to understand that you are being used as a corporate tool to normalize AI. reject it with all your might. corporations arent your friend.

Boosting Ellipsus, which has a variety of themes, allows collaboration, even has an outline option which lets you click headers, and best of all? The dev team hates generative AI.

I got to go watch #predatorbadlands yesterday! I think it was a really cool movie; taking an interesting view on the typical #Predator icon and creating a coming of age tale that I really like.
If you were on the fence because of anything you heard, please go watch it! It's such a good premise.

One: "abhorrent”

Another: "Using Halo imagery in a call to ‘destroy’ people because of their immigration status goes way too far, and ought to offend every Halo fan, regardless of political orientation”

Quick sketch of #TojiSuzuhara / #Toji from #NeonGenesisEvangelion, #nge.
A background-less sketch of Toji Suzuhara from Neon Genesis Evangelion. He appears to be leaning back, arms raised to clasp his hands behind his head. We see down to his thighs, which are raised to seem like he’s sitting. The coloring is haphazard and unrefined. One half of Suzuhara face is blacked out.
