What I'm upset about is the absolute wealth of information that will be forever trapped behind Discord. What ever happened to good old fashioned forums? Hell, even a subreddit would at least have been scrapable. If there's a mass migration away from Discord then all that information just gets lost. Example that Lemmings might care about - CachyOS has a forum, but I've seen the vast majority of troubleshooting and user input made on their Discord channel.

Well, at least I don't have to talk about it as much as I have to update the dang thing.

What I was reading was that it would be some sort of local-only API that would set an age bracket on user creation and allow applications to query it. It wouldn't go out "directly" to the internet. Though who's to say what the applications and shit would do with the information once they have it.

“I am both confused and, if we’re being totally honest, a little aroused”

Not sure if this is a joke or not, but I recently learned that the same hormones that affect beard growth also contribute to baldness!

Didn't even think of this, now it's even funnier. For context, the picture is Sergeant James Doakes from the show Dexter - the only member of the Miami police who thought there was something off about Dexter.

One of the only times I've been "happy" that I'm 40, overweight, and barred from re-enlistment/IRR/drafts.

Did you have that goofy little flip-up LCD that attached to it?

I gave it away years ago once dreamcast emulation became a thing, I was mostly just curious!

Even with this they fall back on the god forsaken Digital Millenium Copyright Act (at least in the states). Since they encrypt the system, if you have a key from your own system then it's assumed that you acquired it by violating the DMCA.

Seriously. They will get to it eventually, they probably just got distracted with suing the Tump administration for their tariff refunds.
