A fave T-shirt logo I mocked up for an Xmas gift
A pic of Linda Hamilton in T2, but the film title below her reads "Alien 2", and the slogan is "It's war this time".

we don't talk enough about how this paranoid freak released virtual insanity in 1996. years before the average person in the uk had even sent a text message, he was dancing like a maniac in his big moving gaff, enraged to the point of song by faxes, teletext and encarta 95.

I found the old 35mm slide for the cover for Neuromancer and had it scanned in for your pleasure. Enjoy!

My latest for @bandcamp.com is up: a potted history of Ireland's trailblazing freak-folkers Dr Strangely Strange, off the back of a new album last year, and an upcoming 55th-anniversary reissue of Heavy Petting!

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

"But the engine is so limited" someone managed to make a Picross game in rpgmaker without writing a single line of code (rpgmaker.net/games/11/). You think it's limited because you never tried using it seriously

Idk what's going on with the PR strategy for this game but I have talked to multiple games press people who have never heard of it and it's QUITE GOOD!! Way more of a crowd pleaser than something like Cronos and yet is getting 1/100th the promotion.

And it's less than $20?????

This woman is a hero, but for anyone else that’s wanting to follow in her footsteps: remember to mask your face and hair, do it at night when there’s less people liable to record you, and dont bring a cellphone

Keep cancelling your Nitro and don't give Discord a single penny.
legendofnerd.bsky.social Brian M @legendofnerd.bsky.social · 7d
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!
