I just dumped the Discord app. If you haven’t heard Discord will start requiring users to scan their faces and provide ID just to use the site. Whether that is the stand alone app or the website. Here is the link to one of the articles.
Never mind that I have had an account for years. Maybe going back a decade. I was probably following about 15 to 20 channels. So I left all of the servers and deleted my discord account. It’s probably a good thing anyways. I spend too much time in front of a computer and screens in general anyways. I know you probably think you spend too much time on a computer but I also work as a information security analyst. So it’s probably double for me. If fact when I work from home I’m on the computer in the mornings with in about five minutes or so from waking up. When I go to the office maybe within an hour or so.
I’m not sure what the right solution is though. Its fair that they want to stop younger people from getting on sites or servers that have adult content. And its the law. But lets be honest. Besides maybe having your account banned no one really gets in trouble. We don’t enforce laws in this country equally anymore. If you don’t believe me let me know when someone in the US gets convicted for anything in the Epstein file dump.
So, to wrap this up. Discord…gone. I’ve also deleted my O365 or M365 account or whatever Microsoft calls it today. Same for OpenAI (aka chatgpt). I deleted it. I’ll write about that and the use of AI soon so stand by for that. Amazon Prime and Disney+ also gone. So for the Real Life Fake Wizard on YouTube there you go.
