SRSLY: every year I have this discussion with IT. NO, do not plan a conversion or major update at the EOY, EOQ or EOM

We’re not against Christians, we're against Christian Nationalism. We're not fighting men, we’re fighting patriarchy. The target is not white people, it's white supremacy. We don't oppose heterosexuals, just homophobia. Join the work dismantling oppressive systems.

IT'S TUMBLR THREAD TIME! I'll be posting about 5-10 screencaps a day from the very best of tumblr. The mob wants it. The mob will get it.

This one I call "Starry Night Memories". It is 48" x 48" #oiloncanvas. I had fun seeing how many of Vincent's iconic images I could work into his most iconic painting. #vangogh #vangoghtributepaintings #starrynight #artist

Hi! I'm completely new to the #fediverse so #introductions are in order.
I'm an avid amateur photographer and currently moving my work to Pixelfed. If you have a minute, check me out at https://pixelfed.social/Ten-80pixels
I love a good story, and especially love everything #scifi. I'm big time into #making and #3dprinting aswell. As the polymath that I am, I constantly find myself in front of a new irresistible topic. The most recent being online #privacy . That should take a while :)
Exited to be here!

Opting out in this case means telling them "Hey you're violating my rights here, maybe you could stop?". Because by default they assume everyone is okay with that. 😜
Also, though, there isn't case (or statutory) law on whether either the neural networks themselves, or the images they produce, are derivative works in the legal sense. All sorts of things that are obviously "derivative" in the normal use of that word aren't derivative works for the purpose of copyright protection. It's all a mess of unknowns.
So in a way Stability is being generous by admitting that their uses might possibly be something a creator might object to, and allowing an opt out...

I really think we need to reject the term "content creator."
That phrase is used by people who aim to Monetize™ us without needing to care about what it is we create. A "content creator" is there to make the stuff that attracts people so they can be fed advertising.
Call us what we are. Artists. Essayists. Film makers. Authors. Photographers. And so many others. We are creators, yes, but what we create has so much value beyond filling otherwise empty space on a website.
