...so you are saying their verification process is so broken that hundreds of thousands of people had to appeal a false reading. Broken and insecure, what a look.

"Tech news and articles".

Since this is purely a news article, it's of little value a year later, when a more up-to-date article about verification would have more current information.

If it was about how some part of the tech stack worked ("article") and things hadn't changed that much, an older article would probably fare better.

Either way it's important to convey that this article is old and it didn't happen a second time.

This makes it sound current.

News are new.
So yes, that response is expectable.

At some point tech turned into a catch all for big app companies, instead of gadgets and the like...

is this Technology or Technology news?

What's the difference?

I keep seeing people post things but if there not like the newest tech, they get downvoted

Probably just because the vast majority of modern tech news is horrendous and exploitative. Something the users of this platform are attuned to.

In my opinion, no, Technology is "the application of scientific knowledge to the practical aims of human life". A data breach is not an application of scientific knowledge in any way.

If the site metadata is made to contain fhe date then yeah, but otherwise I don't think theres a way to get the date of the html file from its url...?

If not, then there isn't any standardized publication date format which allows us to automate retrieval.

that's just a feeling, right? there's no prior experience that could trigger that, right? *nudge, nudge. wink, wink.*

Anyway, miraculously i haven't been hit with the age-wall yet, bur when i do, Discord will lose a user.

Or ever will.

Discord vetted and chose that vendor. They are liable, and as a corporate person, their corporate charter should be revoked until it has served 70,000 sentences of accessory to identity theft.

Unless we are a nation of cowards and weaklings of course. So who are we?

Who the hell cares?

Yup.

None

A grade A scannable ID, usually a driving license. It looks like you, but isn't you. Perfect for age verification and all this other nonsense they want us to do.

I get that. I mean, that's how I knew to come down here and say that it was misleading. But surely we can agree it's strange to post something a year old on this particular community. especially something like this, that in context of what's been going on with Discord really makes it seem like fresh news. Like, the 2025 part is only needed because the post is misleading to begin with

Stop reading the details a knee jerk with the rest of us nerd
