This week, Discord will begin enforcing E2EE on non-stage voice and video calls across desktop, mobile, web, and consoles. Took a few years to solve the edge cases and wait out deprecation times for older clients, but we're here. Really proud of the team today!

It's 20:56 on Friday, 2/13/26, by the Gregorian calendar, at least here in my current undisclosed location on this big ball of rapidly rotating dirt we call home. Well, assuming my computer's NTP daemon is right, which might be asking a lot these days.

I've been trying for years off and on to make that migration. Claude (Opus 4.6 specifically) made it happen. I would not have realistically found the time to do it.

I have a lot of thoughts on AI. It's a powerful tool and, like any power tool, requires skilled operators to use it well.

Yeah, that should have been clearer in our message for sure. We have since updated things to call out that age verification information is not used for advertising and we do not sell data (which has been our decade old stance.)

Obviously there's a huge question of trusting the message, I know.

Definitely more of a lurker around the Internet these days, but I hadn't been reading Bsky lately tbh.

Hi!!! I am biased but also yay DW. :)

Just to confirm what @rahaeli.bsky.social is saying -- I am the VP of Core Tech at Discord and I am accountable for the Safety Engineering team (and more.) I'm very involved in this work and I'm also somewhat a Redditor and have experience with user pushback on a social service, so I volunteered.

They will and that's alright. The general goal was to get the clarified message out and have it be discoverable, but I know for sure that it's not going to change the tenor of the conversation in the moment.

Figured out how to connect my @home-assistant.io (HA Yellow + Cloud) setups to @honeycomb.io this morning.

Do I need to? Probably not. Is it fun? Heck yeah. I'll share some dashboards when I have something fun to show.

You saved her! <3

Kind of funny that she found a way to create suspense and drama out of creative mode.

@cameowood.com just got the yearly card. Sounds like a wonderful year and some exciting, fulfilling things ahead. Always good to hear from you!

Making a mess at the ranch today. Sure I could buy an equivalent sensor system off of the Internet for way less money but where’s the fun in that?

Check check, is this thing on? Of course it is. Hello.

Today was not bad. We have some family visiting so I took everybody up to Battery Spencer for the view.

Alright, trying out this Bluesky thing. Here’s my daughter helping me put oil in the plane.
