You need an account, but also you can only access any info or features about it through a dedicated app rather than through a web browser, despite a web browser already being an app that can do almost everything their cheaply made, poorly maintained app can do.

Glad I wasn't the only one who'd considered Magnus should have been a Space Wolf given his name and lack of eye.

Soon I'll be feeding apes laxatives and putting canvases on the walls of their cages.

I am amazed (sarcasm) that offering the same buy two overpriced pizzas and get one free deal that every other bastarding pizza chain does on the same day didn't save them.

But...it's a time travel show, right? Could we not just join a story I progress with another Doctor and then eventually loop back around to Piper's Doctor?

I don’t know who needs it today but here’s a Raccoon-Hug for you.
I made it with the rubber stamp I bought a few weeks ago.
It makes me smile when I see it. I hope it works for you too.

Blue Raccoon stamped on a white paper. It looks like it wants to hug you.

Age verification could potentially "create a whole archive of closeted trans users whose identities are at risk of exposure"

@fightforthefuture.org Director, @evangreer.bsky.social shares how online ID checks actually pose a safety risk for the entire internet.

news article clip from the Verge that reads: Age verification could create a whole archive of closeted trans users whose identities are at risk of exposure through a security breach — and we know how high the risk is, because elsewhere on the internet, it’s already happened. Evan Greer, director of the digital human rights organization Fight for the Future, points to the ill-fated Tea app, created for women to share information about men who were abusive or “really shitty on a date.” The app verified users’ gender through methods like government IDs and face scans. But in July, the database of women’s faces — including IDs — was hacked and posted to 4chan, thus outing Tea users both to their own personal abusers and to any guy on the Internet who had an ax to grind with #MeToo. “We now have misogynists that are stalking and harassing all the women that uploaded these reports,” Greer says. “And this is exactly what we’re talking about doing to the entire internet.”

Doesn't even jibe with their "don't think, we have AI for that" rhetoric either.

Whilst I've liked works both have made I could see how there's room to criticise them. (I didn't see your particular messages about them though, so maybe you were highly out of line. Seems unlikely though.)
