I was out of the loop on the camera rumours, so I thought it was a tiny camera for your ear hole or something weird like that. Definitely don’t need more cameras filming us.

I’ve always wanted to test drive a BMW, but now I’m certain I’ll never want to own one.

Sure, “mom’s birthday”.

*wink wink, nudge nudge*

The villain of season 2 is not just a person. In a very classic Trek sense, it is more an impossible dilemma that we find ourselves in as Starfleet.

I’m guessing more conflict between the academy and the war college.

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

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.

Ah! Fair. Still bummer news though.

I had no idea the Toronto production studio was closing down. It was only a year ago we were reading about The Star Trek Stage.

Frakes is at the helm this ep, so…that’s something?

I heard this is the line for tacos.

This was so exhausting to get through.

Schrödinger’s front end

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

I watched part of the show, and was blown away when they started running towards trampolines, doing back flips in the air, and nailing the landings. They’ve gotten much better since last year’s presentation. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised to see one walking around with a rifle and checking papers in the next 10 years.

Sounds like I’ll need to include account deletion as a part of my will.

This is so disappointing.

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.”

We have a small group of 5-10 adults, so going back to Slack could be an option for us. Thing is some of the Discord integration with our server has helped solve issues in the past, so we might be putting ourselves at somewhat of a disadvantage by switching. It’s still early days, but it’s worth having the open discussion with your team and explore your alternatives.

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.
