Just almost got into a head-on collision on my way home from work because some idiot was trying to pass someone in a no-pass zone while cresting a steep hill at 50mph

One of the silliest things I've noticed at work is that the 'employees must wash hands' signs have a copyright for for a completely different company altogether on the bottom.

too many kids today have never destroyed the family PC with sketchy downloads

you must learn to fear Computer before you can properly wield Computer

folks today don't know the abject fear of inadvertently downloading, for the first (and only lol) time, a .exe file from kazaa or limewire and it shows

def one of those "it only takes one time to learn" but oooo boy at what cost for that single instance

Been getting back on my diet and have been working on my sleep schedule a bit to more align with friends, though still very limited with work, but at least I'll be able to start being around more to hang with friends and be social. And all it took was a mental breakdown because depression/anxiety 🙃

I love how every time the wheel of furry discourse gets spun up on here, I only see people complaining about how there is people complaining about the usual shit. It's starting to get old

To me, this reads more like damage control than walking anything back, cancel your nitro and let it actually hit them. If you cancel it and it says that your sub will end on (x) date, do not let them try to walk the goalposts closer to you to try to entice you to resub before they take the $ hit

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!

I've played around with streaming a few times, but definitely dont have the time or energy to do anything constant yet. I'd like to use it as an excuse to finally start playing through some older games that I've never played.
