In today's episode of I Told You So:

"Daily occurrences of data breach incidents have taught us we cannot trust these services to safeguard our data. Data breaches for this sensitive information are only a matter of time.

The concentration of such valuable data will likely be monetized and resold either by the platforms themselves, by the for-profit third-party "age assurance" providers they use, or eventually by the criminals who stole it from them."

"A hack impacting Discord’s age verification process shows in stark terms the risk of tech companies collecting users’ ID documents. Now the hackers are posting peoples’ IDs and other sensitive information online."

Yes, it is no fun. And there are more levels of principles to consider depending the platform. I tooted the above as I found a beautiful #gleam community on #Discord chat.

After reading this piece, it's hard not to see #anthropic as a cult, and a deeply creepy one at that.

Just because the ruling class is "technically" a part of a marginalized community, it doesn't absolve them of their shitty behavior.

Peforming "intentional restarts" when you're away to clear its own memory leaks. They also posted detailed conditions, so I assume their source info is correct.

Discord Inc. is a multibillion dollar company through just a single app they got to maintain. Supposedly.
How isn't every single engineer working there thoroughly ashamed by now. They have to be, right?

#BoxyBSD chat is now also available in #irc!

Finished mixing and mastering the new Delta Legends album. It's the blues! Helped with the food from last weeks food drive. Reading Elizabeth Moon, Cold Welcome. Took a long nap. Listened to the new album. Built a shelf for the CD Printing printer and laptop recently displaced by my turntable. Printed the Something Blue discs for this week. Now listening to vinyl, Ahmad Jamal, Happy Moods.

Seeing open source and privacy companies having Discord as their support channel feels like a vegan community meeting at a steak house for events.

@stefano @ricardo the article mentioned the FreeBSD subreddit and The FreeBSD Forums.

Yorick Peterse shared his post in the sub, where it was very well-received. Pictured: insights that are not visible to the public (I very rarely share such things, doing so seems harmless on this occasion).

No mention of Discord, Twitter, or X.

Also pictured: the wiki for FreeBSD Discord very recently cautioned that the FreeBSD Community Code of Conduct can not be enforced. I do not imagine that this caution relates to any recent misconduct there …
