i'm so ready for the new wave of fandom. out with the old larrie guard and hello to a new era where we can use basic reasoning skills and be like no yeah those guys were super weird about each other back in the day for reasons we may never understand but oh well it's still fun to think about and discuss and reminisce etc. ready to just support whatever they're (separately) doing in present day without the exhausting exercise of analyzing every little thing through bluegreen glasses.
Hard same! And I think the new wave is out there and swelling, they just don't know where to go--the loud voices are fucking loud about it, but I like to think their days are numbered, as is their sweet, sweet validation via follower count/engagement (alas, I'll never know for sure, but there are some subtle chunks of negative space where once there wasn't much--I'm a pro lurker, lmao). Anyway, I love this ask, co-signed!
How to turn off AI Training of your content on Web and Mobile:
On a Web Browser:
I had some trouble finding this option. My first instinct was to click the settings button on the left, but that's where it is!
First, you'll click the name of your blog on the left sidebar to bring it up on your browser.
Then click "Blog settings" on the right sidebar once your blog is brought up. That's where they're hiding it.
Click "Prevent Third-Party Sharing" under the Visibility section, and bam! You're done.
On Mobile:
Thankfully it's much easier on mobile. Just click the Gear icon on your blog's page, to go to settings.
Scroll all the way down until you see Visibility, then toggle the Prevent third-party sharing option for your blog!!
If you disable this setting on mobile, it automatically synced it to my web browser settings, too. ...But if you use both Web and Mobile, I would still highly recommend double checking that it actually turned off on both!!
Check that it's turned off on your side blogs too! And check your settings every now and then anyway to ensure that it's staying turned off, because if my memory serves right, some other websites will pull some shenanigans on things like this and opt you back in without telling you!
Leave Feedback on New Features at Tumblr Support Here!! Let Staff know however we can that having our content fed to AI at their whim is unacceptable.
And if you have the option to poison your art with Nightshade or Glaze, keep it up!!
Tubbo: Why have they changed it? These colors are awful. I– ew! I actually hate it! Where– what happened to the orange? Why’s it purple?
Tubbo: [Realizes] OH—
Tubbo: Oh, I'm actually– I'm actually a bigot, it’s Ace Race, I get it. Ohhh, ohhh that’s awkward. Ohhh, that's awkward. I’m a bigot. Oh, I'm a bigot. Oh, I'm a bigot. Ohhh. It’s crazy that they let bigots into MCC these days! Well actually, they’ve always done that.
As much as i love Dungeon Meshi, i do think that given Ryoko Kui's attention to realistic worldbuilding there ought to be a companion series called Dishes Meshi where they spend 2hrs washing and drying and packing away. Alll the goddamnfuck dishes they just made
One of the things that kills me about this anti-Biden stuff is that it doesn't matter. He's the Democrat against Trump. Just get him elected with a Democratic Congress and if he can't do the job, Harris will. Biden being a touch old is not the worst thing in the world. Woodrow Wilson was incapacitated during his presidency and his wife ended up running things; at least now we have a proper mechanism for transferring power to the VP. A Trump presidency is far more dangerous than Biden needing orthopedic shoes. Stop undermining the Democrat on the ballot and get him elected with a Democratic Congress that can actually do something (and keep the line of succession Democratic as well).
