I mean, considering that it's been 13 years since the release, I think they did pretty well!

This is really cool (especially considering that the pricing is way better than Persona/Stripe Identity)!

That being said, what security measures does Didit take, and has it gone through e.g. auditing or SOC 2?

Rails 8 is surprisingly good nowadays. It absolutely still has its share of problems (e.g. Bundler being slow, the frontend story being crappy without Inertia, lack of types which is a biggie, memory) but it is still a fantastic framework imo.

And I agree! It's something I touch upon halfway iirc, but their suffering shouldn't be something to laugh at or mock. It's genuinely upsetting to see to be honest.

At the same time though, I don't think it's healthy to let them go on with 4o either (especially since new users can start chatting with it)

People are not happy with this because 4o, at least from what I've heard, seems to be much more willing to go down the relationship/friend path than 5.2 and Claude and the like.

New comment by JustSkyfall in "Discord/Twitch/Snapchat age verification bypass"

JustSkyfall — Thu, 12 Feb 2026 10:49:05 +0000

My theory is that the vast majority of users won't have an Android with root access/a jailbroken iPhone, which reduces the risk of using a virtual camera? Then they can just block emulators/rooted/jailbroken devices which increases the barrier to entry.

Supabase seriously needs to work on its messaging around RLS. I have seen _so_ many apps get hacked because the devs didn't add a proper RLS policy and end up exposing all of their data.

(As an aside, accessing the DB through the frontend has always been weird to me. You almost certainly have a backend anyway, use it to fetch the data!)

The government is somewhat complicit - there are even reports that the police take escapees back to their captives for a bribe

You can definitely vibecode an app, but that doesn't mean that you can necessarily "get smarter"!

An example: I vibecoded myself a Toggl Track clone yesterday - it works amazingly but if I had to rewrite e.g. the PDF generation code by myself I wouldn't have a clue!
