Since his daughter set up the account with an 18+ setting, it’s possible that the field corresponded to her self-reported age. But Frey could see that Discord updated the setting twice: once two days after the hack, and again after her account was restored. Each time, she was marked as not underage, despite support forum messages that repeatedly informed Discord she was 13.

Seemingly, that meant that the platform could create “a detailed behavioral ad profile” on the teen, even though its internal system had categorized her in the 13–17 age group, Frey said.

Samantha Baldwin, a policy and research staff technologist for the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), told Ars that Discord’s hesitancy to formally update the age setting is telling. Frey’s case shows why privacy advocates believe that age verification laws aren’t about “protecting children” but about “surveillance and censorship,” she said.

“That they would not recategorize a minor’s account demonstrates this clearly,” Baldwin said. “Discord is in the business of making money by selling their users’ personal data. They are implementing ‘age verification’ to meet regulatory compliance and to collect more data about their customers, not protect children.”

EFF has long warned against age-gating the Internet, opposing the mass collection of IDs that might block users from accessing platforms and viewing age estimation technology as ineffective and privacy-invasive.

Today there is a new narrative from haters — that Gunzilla incorrectly laid off contractors or paid them with delays. Yes, we are optimising costs — like every company in gaming, crypto, and tech is doing right now. We have been doing this for over a year.

And yes, to not disrupt company operations, some payments may be scheduled in a way that works for the company’s cash flow — not always for everyone individually. That’s the reality of the world we live in. But to protect the interests of our players and our full-time official employees — whose salaries, over six years, have never been delayed by more than a week — we operate at a pace that ensures the company continues moving forward.

And of course, we honor every obligation. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. It’s also worth noting that one of the loudest voices — a contractor who finished working with us just a week ago — was repaid immediately.

What a massive piece of shit. Seems to be a prerequisite for making NFT/blockchain/crypto games though.

It’s not as strong as I thought it’d be. It’s a bit more “wheaty”, intensifying the bread taste and a wee bit of a lighter crumb I think (from the carbonation?).

The first slice was just… oh yeah.

Bonus pic on the cooling rack!

Yep

You may want to read the other comments below my original one.

I think the default is actually the year 2100 rather than a length of 74 years.

Regardless of your opinion, attack the idea not the person. You know nothing about the person who posted so you made some pretty big assumptions that they a) do nothing to help and b) are even from the USA. That said, your comment is pretty typical internet fare that I’d just roll my eyes at and downvote.

The mod did the same of course, replying with an ad hominem.

Little bit of YDI (a temp ban maybe) but also PTB for the 74 year ban which is an overreaction IMO (maybe BPR I just saw someone else banned for 74 years from that comm for saying idiotic which is apparently ableist lol).

The government is always robbing everyone.

Governments are the enforcement wing of Capitalism. So it’s both really.

My problem is that I know I can get ready in 15mins so I just leave it until the absolute last moment despite constantly thinking it would be nice not doing that.

For years I would wake up, have a shower, iron a shirt and be out of the house to work in 20mins.

Maybe they tried to unionise?

Time travel and a frog… I think I can see where this is going…

There are a lot of big companies using Hyperion Financial Management, Hyperion Planning and other EPM stuff.

Nice! Thanks for the tip. DwtD is one of my favourites.

ETA: oh wow, the artwork is sick… reminds me of Iron Maiden’s Eddie

Looks like the 1930s centennial celebration preparations are on track.

I’m not sure what, but there must be something in the settings. My Debian/KDE installation for my TV just shows an icon in the system tray, no window opens at all.

A byline can include a summary of the article too, but you’re right, there’s no author name.

Not sure what I should call it instead. Neither subtitle, subheadline or even summary feel quite right to me!

Oh great, yet more overreaction to the systemd change. This time from an anonymous party or parties who have published an “investigation” and make no definitive statements or accusations, only a series of tenuous (at best) implications. Everything about the presentation of this “investigation” website is designed to make you angry and to stop you noticing that is has no substance.

Just the byline alone is enough to make me cringe into last week…

How three decisions by individuals with undisclosed financial interests permanently altered the identity infrastructure of every major Linux distribution.

It’s like a line from a really bad movie trailer.
