- Comment on Discord promise they won't force everybody to do a face scan following outrage at new age verification policy 1 week ago:
What they mean by this headline:
- If you don’t access “unsafe” material (currently meaning NSFW channels, blurred images, DMs from non-friends) nothing is changing in how you use Discord. Though there are some rumours about a “smart filter” that further restricts content in channels.
- If you want to access any of the above, Discord first tries to “guesstimate” your age based on "data they already collect"
- If that doesn’t work/has too low of a confidence, they ask you to verify your age via selfie or ID. Thsy claim Discord doesn’t get access to your ID, only the age on it, but it is most likely still uploaded to the service that does the checking.
TLDR: the headline is crap, and the same verification already present in UK and Australia is being rolled out to everyone.

- Comment on Black friday 2 years ago:
presumably this graph shows the buying price, discounted or not. going by that, the site probably adopted the regular price as the “sale price” and inflated the non-discounted price. after black friday the promotion ended and the price returns to the “old” value.
- Comment on Is there any reason to have a Switch and a Steamdeck, 2 years ago:
For switch emularion, I only really got around to TotK so far. In general I play singleplayer RPGs, such as Witcher 3, Horizon: Zero Dawn, as well as some Cult of the Lamb. The Deck handled all of these very well at medium to medium-high settings. Emulation just adds a considerable performance overhead.

No major issues from my experience, but in my case the Deck is struggling to keep 20-30 fps
