Normalize this

(Updated: I changed Twitter to X and User to Profile. I intentionally left out Bluesky because their approach to profile naming doesn't fit this paradigm and precedent.)

#X #Threads #Fediverse #News #Media

I won't be creating an account on #Threads because I deactivated my Facebook and Instagram accounts years ago because:
- Cambridge Analytica
- Myanmar genocide
- Long history of incitement of hate and disinformation for profit
- Helping Fox News drive senior citizens into conspiracy-theory madness

I have no objection (yet) to federating with Threads or following people there. I just refuse to look at their ads or follow their algorithm.

Turns out that Adobe is collecting all of its customers' pictures into a machine learning training set.

This is opt-out, not opt-in so if you use Lightroom, for example, it defaults to adding all of your photos to the set.

If these are unpublished pictures, work-in-progress, etc. they'll still be analysed as soon as they're synced.

I've been using Lightroom to sync photos from my Windows desktop to my iPad. Now I need to reconsider that.
