  • The age verification process is performed by Persona, a third-party provider that won’t have access to users’ Reddit data or retain photos for longer than seven days. Reddit says it also won’t have access to uploaded photos, and that it will only store birthdates and verification statuses so that users don’t need to re-verify their account.

    Uh huh. You’d be surprised how many people still think once a snap on Snapchat is deleted, it’s gone forever and no one can view it again. Wonder how long it will take before the “oops a data leak revealed all the stuff we said we weren’t going to retain wasn’t properly deleted and now anyone with a magnet link can grab it” event happens.










  • Congrats on releasing a game! It’s a large undertaking to code in general let alone release something, so kudos for sticking it through! Out of curiosity, how did you determine system specs for your game? I have a 2D SHMUP that I’m writing and was trying to find a solid answer online, and it seems it ranges from “take a wild guess” to “hope you like excel spreadsheets” lol.










  • I hate how YouTube seems to intentionally show salacious ads if you opt out of ad personalization. I get a ton of Temu spam despite not purchasing anything from that app or even having it on my phone, and the ads themselves usually feature scantily-clad women that takes up 70% of the screen. I’ve made a habit of just opening up the comments section and keeping them open the entire duration of the video. It really feels like YouTube/Google/Alphabet is saying “oh, you don’t want people around you to think you’re a perv? Let us collect more data about you so you can save face in public when you use our app at the gym or at work.”
