Had to check this on my main and side blogs. Please make sure you do. Every blog has its own settings, so if you don't want a third party to see your shit, on anything, be sure to do so. It's in the visibility settings on the website

shitty, quick one ik, but I wanted to share these thoughts on the off chance it helps somebody find their footing bc lets be real the USA suuuuuucks.

Vote third party or with actions if you want change.

If it makes any of you feel better, Donald Trump will have an uphill battle to change the constitution. He will need:

-2/3 of Senators (67)

-2/3 of the House of Representatives (290)

-3/4 of the states (38)

In 2026, 33 senate seats will be up for grabs, and we’ll be able to vote for people who are against Trump and his ideals.

Breathe and remain hopeful because it’s not over. We can still fight and make Trump’s last four years hell.

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.

Whatever happens, two things remain true: 1. Trump might be distancing himself from Project 2025, but his Agenda 47, which is on his website, is basically the same thing. 2. Third party voting is useless without ranked choice voting; it's mathematically impossible to elect a third party candidate. DO NOT SPLIT THE VOTE.

[zuko-always-lies]

From instructions on how to opt out, look at the official staff post on the topic. It also gives more information on Tumblr's new policies. If you are opting out, remember to opt out each separate blog individually.

Please reblog this post, so it will get more votes!

This Glow in the Dark 50mm Lens Changes the Way You Make Images

A nifty fifty is a critical lens for many photographers dabbling with various genres. From good portraits to food to landscapes and weddings, one can achieve images that match the human perception. It’s also why many young photographers with a kit lens gradually shift to an f1.2 or f2.8 once they get the hang of it. What if we tell you there is a new 50mm that not only gives you a larger aperture…

Voting in 2024 (Pt. 2)

This article is the second installment. Here is the first. Recap: Living in a democracy during an election means that all of us play some part in election process—even if we vote third party—all of us cast a vote, which means all of us must be prepared to make compromises. How do we know which compromises to make? We must heed our consciences, even as we seek to shape our conscience with God’s…

Practical steps to reducing cybersecurity risks

Where You Can Still Get A Book Apart Titles

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/where-you-can-still-get-a-book-apart-titles/

Where You Can Still Get A Book Apart Titles

It’s been a few months out since A Book Apart closed shop. I’m sad about it, of course. You probably are, too, if you have one of their many brightly-colored paperbacks sitting on a bookshelf strategically placed as a backdrop for your video calls.

It looked for a bit like the books would still be available for purchase through third-party distributors who could print them on demand or whatever. And then a redaction on A Book Apart’s original announcement:

UPDATE: Ownership and publishing rights for all books have been given back to their respective authors. Many authors are continuing to offer their work for free or in new editions. Our hope is that these books will continue to live on forever. A Book Apart no longer sells or distributes books, please reach out to authors for information about availability.

Oh, snap. The books are on the loose and several authors are making sure they’re still available. Eric Meyer, for example, says he and co-author Sara Wachter-Boettcher still figuring out what’s next for their Design for Real Life title:

One of the things Sara and I have decided to do is to eventually put the entire text online for free, as a booksite. That isn’t ready yet, but it should be coming somewhere down the road.

In the meantime, we’ve decided to cut the price of print and e-book copies available through Ingram. [Design for Real Life] was the eighteenth book [A Book Apart] put out, so we’ve decided to make the price of both the print and e-book $18, regardless of whether those dollars are American, Canadian, or Australian.

Ethan Marcotte has followed suit by listing his three titles on his personal website and linking up where they can be purchased at a generous discount off the original price tag, including his latest, You Deserve a Tech Union.

Others have quickly responded with free online versions of their books. Mat Marquis has offered JavaScript for Web Designers free online for a long time. He helped Chris Coyier do the same with Practical SVG this past week. Jeremy Keith put out one of my personal ABA faves (and the first ever ABA-published book) for free, HTML5 for Web Designers.

What about all the other titles? I dunno. A Book Apart simply doesn’t sell or distribute them anymore. Rachel McConnell sells Leading Content Design directly. Every other book I checked seems to be a link back to A Book Apart. We’ll have to see where the proverbial dust settles. The authors now hold all the rights to their works and may or may not decide to re-offer them. Meanwhile, many of the titles are listed in places like Goodreads, Amazon, Barnes & Nobile, etc.

Thanks for all the great reads and years, A Book Apart! You’ve helped man, many people become better web citizens, present company included.

Lancer Enhanced Combat is a third party supplement for Lancer that does exactly what it said, primarily aimed at GM to make their lancer combats even more exciting!

[reasonsforhope]

Literally begging anyone who can vote in US elections to vote, and to vote against Trump. Which means voting for Harris, not abstaining or voting third party.

My family actually did move here from an authoritarian country, where voting literally didn't matter, they literally did throw out your vote, and they literally did assassinate citizens who spoke out against them.

We would all very much like to keep living in a country where those things are not the case!

You know, the same things that Trump and his stooges have openly said they want to do. And two of the main propaganda lines for why people in the US shouldn't vote, which is a lie.

Voting matters. The parties are not the same.

And make sure to vote in down-ballot races!!!

And like. The fact that voting matters in the US is a very real reason for hope. It is something you should genuinely appreciate. We can make a difference.

And a lot of people risked their lives or even died to earn that right, and it's a right not everyone has.

[creature-wizard]

It's finally dawning on me that a lot of hard leftists actually do think the US presidency is already a dictatorship.

Like they think that the reason the Biden administration didn't cancel college debt on the grand scale they pictured, is that he just didn't want to. They have no comprehension just how much Republicans were working against him to stop literally anything he could do to make things in this country less dogshit. (BTW, this is why we need to vote blue all the way down the ticket.)

And then they think they can elect some third party rando with no actual allies in the senate or congress or anywhere, and people will just have to do what they say, and won't try to sabotage them even harder because they're even further left. (The aforementioned efforts to sabotage Biden? It would be even worse for an actual leftist president.)

Like no, sorry, the US presidency is not actually a dictatorship.
