A milestone birthday for me today causing existential angst that even in the best case scenario, I have a limited time to Do All The Things™

One thing you can help me accomplish is spreading the word about this awesome friendship bundle! Reposts make great gifts💜

I UPLOADED THE WRONG FILE AAAAAA this is the right one
The image shows a mural dedicated to Elgar'nan from Dragon Age the Veilguard, divided in 5 panels. Top left: shows a dragon, Lusacan, being trapped by golden chains as it roars in anguish. Bottom left: it shows the Titans being conquered byt Elgar'nan's lightnings, they cry as their blood becomes the essence of magic. Top right: through the Helm of the Solar, Elgar'nan burns the mind of other elves, turning them into loyal thralls. Bottom right: Elgar'nan is holding Mythal as she dies, her core getting fragmented. It's impossible to tell if he's taking our or in the lyrium dagger. Central panel: it shows Elgar'nan's in all his glory, his eclipse symbol on the top, his hands are open in invitation. His left food is pressed of the head of Solas, Fen'harel, the dread world, a show of his victory. The wolf's shape reminds of Solas's orb. At the bottom of everything, multiple elves kneel in devotion.

Make Art (1/4)
A rabbit in overalls and a goat in pants are sitting on the ground drawing pictures. The rabbit is saying “ART POSES A THREAT TO CORPORATOLRATIC SYSTEMS BECAUSE A PURPOSE OF ART IS TO REMIND THE INDIVIDUAL OF THEIR INHERENT AUTONOMY.”, the goat adds “THEIR HUMANITY.”

Discord isn't walking back anything yet, but this shows they are feeling the pressure and you should keep bullying and contacting them until they relent.
legendofnerd.bsky.social Brian M @legendofnerd.bsky.social · 15h
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!

Why are so many platforms punishing adults for wanting to be adults instead of just making parental controls and telling parents to monitor their own kids.

Why is discord rolling out a "teen by default" mandatory ID system. Why the fuck do you need that information. Why are you making this my issue

Doodled up a little #Flowerpunk species, the sycafawn!

One of the tiniest members of the unguligrowth group of magical creatures, they reach a height of just a few inches. They live in and around sycamore trees as the name suggests, disguising themselves as seeds.

It's been just over a year since leaving Dark Horse and I've grown a lot as a freelance editor. I'm really eager to get back to editing more comics and graphic novels this year, especially for authors in the indie space.

If you are crowdfunding or self-publishing please reach out for a chat!

Today I was laid off from Dark Horse Comics. While devastating news, I'm so proud of what I helped make there and am grateful to have worked alongside such amazing coworkers and creators.

I'm not quitting comics yet, so if you or someone you know needs a savvy editor please reach out.
