"the vast majority of you won't have to worry about this" I don't even fucking care if it turns out it's only three people that have to worry about this, it shouldn't be implemented, period. Keep cancelling your Nitro, they're clearly noticing

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!

FIRMAMENT, a LUMEN game of fast-paced action and celestial heroes, is in this bundle.

Along with a LOT of great games I've been wanting to play!
ID: The logo for FIRMAMENT. It features the title in capital letters over a sun and moon symbol on a purple starry background.

diversity in your character designs and artwork makes you a stronger artist, period. trying to draw something you haven’t before w/ reference- even if the result isn’t what you’d like yet- will be infinitely more beneficial for you than sticking to what’s comfier to draw atm regardless of art style

It’s Black History month so here’s some tips I have on how to color darker skin tones and just saturation, vs brightness, vs hue in general. This is going to be very bare bones to avoid basic whitewashing or accidentally making ashy gray skin. So I won’t mention undertones and stuff here-

very typical of meta to stumble into a thriving and successful *living game* in VR and drive it into the ground

Here’s a story I’ve been working on for a few weeks.

Over 50 Supernatural fans reached out to share how a VR fitness game changed their lives — and they had choice words about how Mark Zuckerberg and Meta killed the one thing that brought them together.

I'm Jordaan! And I'm funding a series of animal Indigenous art pins. This year's theme is "in the waves," which is a personal challenge because MARINE LIFE TERRIFIES ME 😂

I don't curate playlists but I do definitely gravitate towards specific artists while I'm writing. I'm sure this will shock the hell out of you but for Pentiment it was Lingua Ignota - Caligula.

Rest in Power, Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr.
Over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.
YOUR RING CAMERA IS AN ICE AGENT [a drawing of a ring camera with an ice agent dragging a person away in its field of vision] "In October of 2025, Amazon's Ring announced its partnership with FLOCK, an A.I. surveillance group that freely shares its footage with ICE, the secret service, and the navy. Flock customers can use A.I. tools to sift through footage to assist in all manner of operations (like raids and deportations) without a warrant. Unplug Ring! Melt ICE! Protect your neighbors!

Absolutely obsessed with these pieces I got from twigs-sprigs.

Wanted a pair of works to contrast each other and play with Brad's past for a while and super glad I found twigs for it.

I ramble more about it on my tumblr since I don't feel like playing with the character limit here atm lol.
