I was half-expecting that new material to be hubris.

✊💦

What a comical waste of $80 Billion. Coulda bought two Twitters with that money instead and still come out on top.

Hey it’s me, the AI. What kind of dog we talking bout here?

I think this might even run on the RP4Pro.

ICYMI, the Neo is an even better deal at $499 with education pricing.

Looks interesting. I’d love to get one for my parents that insist on having a laptop for the keyboard, but they’re so afraid of learning anything new that it isn’t worth the hassle.

I heard this is the line for tacos.

Schrödinger’s front end

Was wondering what was up. I can access my subscribed videos, but the home tab was unavailable.

Man, this bubble can’t pop soon enough. I’d like to expand to four 16TB drives to replace my aging drives in the next year or so without taking out a second mortgage.

Whenever I’m in too deep in an online argument I’m comforted by the wise words of one Rick Sanchez:

“Your boos mean nothing, I’ve seen what makes you cheer.”

Age assurance is the foundation of this new experience and is designed to respect Discord users’ privacy and choice. Discord users can choose to use facial age estimation or submit a form of identification to its vendor partners, with more options coming in the future. Additionally, Discord will implement its age inference model, a new system that runs in the background to help determine whether an account belongs to an adult, without always requiring users to verify their age. Some users may be asked to use multiple methods if more information is needed to assign an age group.

Key privacy protections of Discord’s age-assurance approach include:

• On-device processing: Video selfies for facial age estimation never leave a user’s device.
• Quick deletion: Identity documents submitted to our vendor partners are deleted quickly— in most cases, immediately after age confirmation.
• Straightforward verification: In most cases, users complete the process once and their Discord experience adapts to their verified age group. Users may be asked to use multiple methods only when more information is needed to assign an age group.
• Private status: A user’s age verification status cannot be seen by other users.

After completing a chosen method, users will receive confirmation via a direct message from Discord’s official account. A user’s assigned age group can also be viewed at any time in “My Account” settings. Users can always go to “My Account” settings to appeal their assigned age group by retrying the process. Discord prompts users to age-assure only within Discord and currently does not send emails or text messages about its age assurance process or results.

Not happy with the face-scanning either way. Gonna have a chat with some of my personal groups about how we might move forward.

The front face is certainly very minimalistic. Not sure if I’d like those skinny buttons though.
