Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you. 

AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.

Here are the important details:

• We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner. 
• We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.
• To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option. 
• For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc. 
• Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.

If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.

unfortunately, a lot of the userbase won’t opt out. those who don’t see this post, those who have posted to tumblr but don’t anymore, users on older versions of the app who forget to opt out next time they’re on desktop, etc. the point of making it opt-out is to take advantage of people who wouldn’t have opted in but don’t/can’t opt out in time. automatically opting out people who have discouraged search crawling is a gesture that helps Tumblr look more kind, but from the fact that everyone else has to manually opt out, Tumblr is definitely not looking benevolent.

I wonder, will Tumblr/Automattic be selling images from deactivated blogs? I assume deactivated blogs can’t opt out.

when will they start selling this data? Is it already too late to keep them from selling every image you’ve posted before you opted out?

and if they’re especially malicious, I wonder if they could get away with saying “this image is from a blog that’s opted out, but it was reblogged by a blog that hasn’t opted out, so we’re selling the image that’s on that non-opted-out blog.”

making users need to opt out to keep their images from being taken and sold is a shitty move that makes it clear Tumblr/Automattic don’t respect our privacy, and @staff are really not giving us much info here to suggest otherwise.

“people show their true colours in life threatening situations” no, they show you what they act like when they’re mortally terrified, an emotion notorious for literally turning your entire brain off to the point where people who go into those situations as a profession need to be literally trained on how to not have that happen

i am SO glad you asked because i was in fact having an imaginary argument in my head with ‘The Joker’ from 'The Dark Night’ and every other made-up villain that tries to sound edgy and deep with this kind of nihilism because they annoy the hell out of me

You ever think about how crows are acting not unlike how early humans probably did and you’re just like. Oh ok

I saw a Thing one time about how the earliest sign of civilization is a healed femur because that shows that we were taking care of each other because if we Didn’t a broken leg would mean you Die because you can’t. Do things

And I was thinking about this and I remembered also seeing an article about this one mated pair of crows where one of them broke its beak and thus couldn’t properly feed itself on its own. So the other one helps

So basically I have connected the two dots (“you didn’t connect shit”) I’ve connected them

And also they not only use tools but teach each other how to construct them, so uh

Really makes you think

Realistically I know immortality would kinda suck but I’d love to see where crows are going with this

Fun fact, there is little info on crows (as far as species of interest go) because they’re so good at evading human tactics for collection and observation. I had a friend who studied them in grad school. Not only do they describe humans to each other (so crows you’ve never seen before will avoid you), they also learn the precise distance of net cannons (for trapping and tagging) after 1 encounter and then stand at that distance the entire time (making naive researchers think maybe they can juuuust caych em). So basically you need to befriend them (a common strategy), or find a murder that’s never seen you before (researchers wear presidents masks to throw them off, but then they remember and describe the cars). In this case, you have one chance to collect enough in the group to get good data. Whatever crow you catch once, you probably will never catch again, ruling out biosensing devices (like they use with other birds and turtles n junk).

The latest big finding about crows is that they have a grasp of knowledge breadth, meaning they “know what they know” meaning they are conscious (self aware), have subjective experiences and can reflect on their knowledge. (Source) This also implies they have an understanding of the unknown.

Look up Andreas Nieder and Jon Marzluff’s work if you want the deep skinny.

That cat is absolutely an orphan-generating coal baron. The mustache and top-hat are there in spirit, if not actually. Legally, that cat’s name should be Reacher Gilt.

Apparently this comment got screenshotted, escaped containment, and made its way back to the owner of the cat who found me.

Hew name is Lucy, she is well-loved, and she just looks like that all the time:

So y'all know how my laptop constantly disconnects from our wifi and how it’s the only device in the house to be doing that?

Well today it completely gave out. That’s right, gone.

Now, there’s a small tab on the taskbar that lets me connect to wifi. Guess what? THE WIFI TAB IS GONE!!! It’s not even there!!!

I panic! Run straight to settings, maybe I can boot it up from there AND IT’S NOT THERE?!

I had to got to computer help system.

I find a way to turn it on, so, I clicked the button. There’s a small loading circle. And then. NOTHING!!! LITERALLY NOTHING HAPPENS!!! MY WIFI DOESN’T COME BACK BUT THE BUTTON DOES!!

I go, reset the laptop in hopes that it’ll work! 5 minutes later, STILL NOTHING!!!

I go to the advanced settings, pray tell, a network reset. I click it. Dear reader, I’ll give you three guesses what happened next.

CORRECT!

NOTHING :D

I swear to christ WHAT THE FUCK

Interesting. Outside of a virus or someone fucking wiþ you, I do believe I’m stumped.

maybe it has a combination of buttons that turns off wifi? try using fn and some buttons (typically one of the F1-12 buttons)

Some of you might have already been using a site called movie-web.app to watch movies and tv series without needing to, you know, pay. Sadly the official instance has been taken down.

But

It turns out you can host your own.

Here is the one I am hosting

movie-web

Sadly, since setting up the backend is outside of my capabilities there is no cross-device syncing of watch progress or bookmarks, but you can still watch everything just fine.
