shout out to one of the funniest things gw2 ever did, which was that you got these goggles you can discover all around the world, which change you into your bathing suit so you can swan dive off a nearby precipice - the challenge is to land in whatever water is below. You get an achievement for finding them all
But there’s one story mission, in a really serious bit of the plot where you’re chasing down an evil necromancer who’s got you on the backfoot and kidnapped one of your party. You’re mounting a rescue attempt at an ancient, ancient decrepit palace of huge historical and cultural importance to the local humans, one of whom stops in awe as you head up to it.
And then there’s goggles. Not in the open world but in a story segment. On a cliff in the palace courtyard during your life or death rescue mission
And you can go over and put them on and change clothes for the dive and the other characters
Please be aware that the “opt-out” choice is just a way to try to appease people. But Tumblr has not been transparent about when has data been sold and shared with AI companies, and there are sources that confirm that data has already been shared before the toggle was even provided to users.
Also, it seems to include data they should not have been able to give under any circumstance, including that of deactivated blogs, private messages and conversations, stuff from private blogs, and so on.
Do not believe that “AI companies will honor the "opt-out request retroactively”. Once they’ve got their hands on your data (and they have), they won’t be “honoring” an opt-out option retroactively. There is no way to confirm or deny what data do they have: The fact they are completely opaque on what do they currently “own” and have, means that they can do whatever they want with it. How can you prove they have your data if they don’t give everyone free access to see what they’ve stolen already?
So, yeah, opt out of data sharing, but be aware that this isn’t stopping anyone from taking your data. They already have been taking it, before you were given that option. Go and go to Tumblr’s Suppport and leave your Feedback on this (politely, but firmly- not everyone in the company is responsible for this.)
Finally: Opt out is not good under any circumstance. Deactivated people can’t opt out. People who have lost their passwords can’t opt out. People who can’t access internet or computers can’t opt out. People who had their content reposted can’t opt out. Dead people can’t opt out. When DeviantArt released their AI image generator, saying that it wasn’t trained on people who didn’t consent to it, it was proven it could easily replicate the styles of people who had passed away, as seen here. So, yeah. AI companies cannot be trusted to have any sort of respect for people’s data and content, because this entire thing is just a data laundering scheme.
Where do I even begin? I’m appalled. The Canadian government living up to its roots in colonial-settler violence… this is beyond criminal. Contact your MP’s. This erasure and anti-Palestinian racism is unacceptable.
Another charr commission! Commission includes body padding, airbrushed markings, mixed fiber NFT and wefted Kanekalon hair and removable clothing. Clothing armor sets: -Leystone Vestments -Seer pants -Vigils Honor Greaves -Vigils honor Wraps
Although it turned out darn cool, this clothing nearly killed me. It took 3x longer than I thought it would, but it looks so pretty altogether - so I guess it was worth it.
as israel baselessly accuses palestinians of mass sexual violence again, i feel the need to remind everyone that white americans also made black and native people out to be animalistic rapists, not because it was true but because they were insanely racist.
this is a textbook colonial tactic that most people are unfortunately oblivious to. this is why looking back at history is important. emmett till is a good place to start if you want to see examples of this tactic.
but let’s also not ignore the countless palestinian men, women, and children who have been sexually abused and assaulted while detained by the iof for decades! their voices are rarely heard and their outcries buried by israel.
