#supporting data

PSA: Tumblr/Wordpress is preparing to start selling our user data to Midjourney and OpenAI.

you have to MANUALLY opt out of it as well.

to opt out on desktop, click your blog ➡️ blog settings ➡️ scroll til you see visibility options and it’ll be the last option to toggle.

to opt out on mobile, click your blog ➡️ scroll then click visibility ➡️ toggle opt out option.

if you’ve already opted out of showing up in google searches, it’s preselected for you. if you don’t have the option available, update your app or close your browser/refresh a few times. important to note you also have to opt out for each blog you own separately, so if you’d like to prevent AI scraping your blog i’d really recommend taking the time to opt out.

Yet another scientific article adding to the slowly growing mountain of evidence that suggests we might be able to save the world through bird-watching.

I bought some amazing Trekkie art today from Heather Castles (of @upcycled_vintage_art on Instagram, if you wish to acquire them)!

For my dear friend, this Spot and Data couple’s portrait:

And for my desk:

I love my Unicorn Dog dearly.

Ngl it's interesting how on DS9 tumblr you can make fancams and edits of male slave owners, rapists, war criminals and murderers but the two times I made a post (and jokingly too) defending Kai Winn or Seska without fail someone turned up to complain about that saying they did bad things. Interesting I wonder if there is some kind of a pattern to that!

Finally a journalist/analyst actually calling out the ridiculousness of Red Bull's rhetoric trying to justify Lawson's promotion and highlighting he didn't in any way perform better than what Daniel had done throughout the season.

I really do fail to understand how people are able to justify this genocide at all even after 'claiming' to know the narratives of both the sides?

How can you remain neutral in face of mass murder?

All that privilege must be real nice. Getting to sleep in your beds, safe from this living hell, while justifying genocide must be real nice. Shame on you! Shame on you! Shame on you!

And I'm sorry to the Palestinians. I'm sorry the world's humanity is conditional. I'm sorry that we have failed you.

Sometimes you just need some fictional guys to hype you up, while running for your stupid mental health. :D (Shhh...They told me you also can do that thing you keep procrastinating. 🫶)

Hey y'all, asking a favor on behalf of some colleagues: if you play any mobile games and/or care about data privacy in games, please take this survey!

They're putting together a set of metadata to organize about mobile games and how those games collect user data in an effort to help users make more informed decisions about their data privacy, and could really use some responses as to how useful you'd find this particular type of information.
