iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I'll own up to being a stickler for consistent style, but even I'm not this picky.

Ex and I were watching Sliders, which was a campy, though generally entertaining, sci-fi show of the 90s. Partway through season 3, they replaced John Rhys-Davies with Kari Wuhrer. We quit watching two episodes later.

Also, cancel your Discord Nitro.

Just like scams in email, on Steam, on Facebook, or whatever, these obvious scams might seem laughable to most of us, but they must work well enough for people to keep doing them. I grew up dodging pop-up banners on the internet, so I don't believe much of anything online, by default.

Some other accounts wanted me to DM them directly. One was doing crypto before account recovery (and is also from Africa); another was created in 2018 but has no posts prior to this week; and a third has no posts about tech and is entirely in Spanish (despite replying to me in English).

100

Here's an account that has recovery posts going back to July, and weird anime pics, random words, and gambling site posts before that. Also, I don't need help finding my onions. "LEEK RECOVERY," indeed.

@CarlNerds is even sketchier. One post from September 2026, previous activity from 2013. Also, the account had a name change this month and is accessed from Africa, despite saying it's from Boston on its profile.

@LedaNerd is highly pro-Trump and pro-Musk, and has 3 account recovery-based tweets since August. Last post before that is from 2020, when the user seemed to be fairly active.

I wasn't ever going to use any of these "recommended" services, but thought I'd glance at them out of curiosity. In general, they've all been posting about cybersecurity, account recovery, etc. for just the past few months. Before that, they seemed to be owned and operated by normal people.

If you need further proof that Twitter is a cesspool these days ... Because Discord has no BlueSky presence, I *shudder* posted to its support account on Twitter. And that brought out the bot replies like nothing I'd ever seen before.

101

Possible, though everyone on the server I posted it on knows I'm old enough. Heck, the server doesn't even allow anyone on who's under 25.

000

Also, I was suspended for two years. If I actually was 12, why wait until I'm 14 to let me have access again if I'd be 13 in one year, max?

000

So this is all a lie. "does not look at your messages, calls, or other content" "Account history, such as how old your account is" "No single server, community, or friend decides your age group." But one offhand message apparently does.

200

I hope tech sites like @arstechnica.com or @mashable.com or @techcrunch.com or @dexerto.bsky.social don't learn about this and report on how dumb it is! My account was made in 2015, BTW, but I guess an offhand comment means I was a year old when I created it!

For full context: Someone in a Discord server I was in talked about age verification going live recently. I made the joke reply: "I hope they don't ban me, I'm only 12 years old," and in the apps infinite wisdom, it assumed I was serious. Now it wants me to submit ID or a photo. Fuck that.

Are you fucking serious, Discord?

I'm going to be going on a flight in nine days and I think it'd be cool if my pilot was a furry. Maybe don't wear the suit while operating the plane, though, it might get in the way. Flight attendants, on the other hand...

The year is 2036. Jaxon Dart and Malik Nabers are both still with the Giants. They've played a total of 7 full games together.

Didn't think I'd spend my Monday nights cross-stitching while I watched football, but here we are.

Got some distressing, but weirdly fortuitously timed, news today. Don't worry, it's nothing super serious, I don't have a fatal disease or anything. And it might lead to me doing something cool, in a "one door closes, another door opens" kind of way, but I'll need some time to plan it all out.
