Can we please refer to the anti-trans/drag bills as employment discrimination bills, since that is their obvious effect?

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If these are unpublished pictures, work-in-progress, etc.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.

What I say when I leave the room
Sorry to have been so intensely quiet of late. It's crunch at work until about mid-Feb, so if there's something you want to make sure I see, please @ or DM.

The slow destruction of Twitter means I don’t have to limit myself to 280 characters anymore.

So this is a LONG-ASS post about having been online for decades & lost so many spaces to malfeasance and malice & what to do now, how angry I am & how hard this will never stop being.

Because I need to SCREAM ABOUT THIS TRASH.

Big ask: The Woodland Women's Group on my reservation is on the verge of securing a much-needed physical space for their cultural ed, crafting circles & mutual aid. This would be a dream come true. They need to raise $10K. Who can help me make this happen? https://www.gofundme.com/f/maeqtekuahkihkiw-metaemohsak-woodland-women

This is the first time Mastodon has done the thing for me, and I'm quite pleased about it was this combo.
