"Healthcare is expensive"
Theyre only going after in-game gambling/loot boxes as a means to get age verification in the door
The Pentagon is demanding AI companies allow them to use their products to mass surveil Americans.
Congress must step in and take action now.
Why the USA can't afford anything.
Many people already don't want to join because of the terrible discover page that throws political posts at newcomers, without artists this site would sink harder than tumblr and deviantart. You're not in a position to feel superior over people who actually create with their own hands.
Your platform would be just a mass of political posts if those artists with poorly drawn cartoon PFPs weren't here
i touched grass for 2 weeks and came back to this site being in complete meltdown

Cant make this shit up 😭🤣
bluesky engineers spend more time arguing with their userbase than actually developing the platform and it shows send post
Time to find a new platform.
Again.
Why @why.bsky.team Until December of last year I was using LLMs as fancy autocomplete for coding. It was nice for scaffolding out boilerplate, or giving me a gut check on some things, or banging out some boring routine stuff. In the past two months Claude has written about 99% of my code. Things are changing. Fast
in case you ever wondered why bsky breaks all the fuckin time and is increasingly a pile of jank

US health officials are trying to delay a regional World Health Organization meeting that would confirm the loss of its measles elimination status until after the midterm elections in November.
This is a reckless, accountability-dodging move that puts politics over public health.
the new #elite ship is insane 😍
Today, @bsky.app + @atprotocol.dev devs can plug into XMTP to give users what they've been asking for: quantum-encrypted, secure group chats that scale to millions.
With our XMTPID identity model, it's finally here.

highly doubt any of this is true for the record. they said the same thing about UK and Australian age verification and i know people in their forties who discord couldn't infer were of age. don't buy it
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG
Im so tired of everything
Any time a company has to "make a statement", it means they're sweating. Cook them
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!
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)

Can someone audit the new #Teamspeak to check if that's true?
holy that looks good 🤤
Test
update to #discord
it seems so many are cancelling their nitro right now that processing errors happen 🤣🤣 heard it from friends too already! server getting roasted
it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences
