netflix subtitles are great for when you want to read a caption with like 50% resemblance to what's being spoken

[indigosfindings]

character in a movie: buddy, i'm gonna tell you what i've got to do

netflix subtitles: i'll say what i must do

[indigosfindings]

character in a movie: *exhales*

netflix subtitles: (blows raspberry)

[indigosfindings]

character in a movie: ciao!

netflix subtitles: (in italian) bye!

*character in a movie: ciao!

netflix subtitles: (speaks foreign language)

IF YOU LIVE IN THE USA

THIS IS ILLEGAL

REPORT THEM TO THE FCC

THEY HAVE A LINK ON THEIR WEBSITE TO RWPORT IT

ITS REQUIRED BY THE ADA THAT SUBTITLES EXACTLY MATCH THE DIALOGUE

i reported basically every Star Trek show on Paramount+ because the subtitles were all fucked up. they sent me auto emails to let me know they were working on it, and then a real life human being got in touch with me after they had fixed it, to ask if i was still experiencing the issue. they WILL do something, they are required by FEDERAL LAW to do something.

I'm bluntly stating this.

[the-warlock-syndicate]

Alright US mutuals, if you are interested in, morbidly fascinated by, or anxiously doomscrolling through AI news, including Stable Diffusion, Llama, ChatGPT or Dalle, you need to be aware of this.

The US Copyright Office has submitted a request for comment from the general public. Guidelines can be found on their site, but the gist of it is that they are taking citizen statements on what your views on AI are, and how the Copyright Office should address the admittedly thorny issues in rulings.

Be polite, be succinct, and be honest. They have a list of questions or suggestions, but in truth are looking to get as much data from the general public as possible. If you have links to papers or studies examining the economic impacts of AI, they want them. If you have anecdotal stories of losing commissions, they want them. If you have legal opinions, experience using these tools, or even a layman's perspective of how much human input is required for a piece of work to gain copyright, they want it.

The deadline is Oct 18th and can be submitted via the link in the article. While the regulatory apparatus of the US is largely under sway by corporate interests, this is still the actual, official time for you to directly tell the government what you think and what they should do. Comments can be submitted by individuals or on behalf of organizations. So if you are a small business, say a print shop, you can comment on behalf of the print shop as well.

Thorny AI copyright questions have Copyright Office seeking public input

Should AI-created works be copyrighted? US regulators want to know what you think.

ok ik i talk about how ppl have their crazy theories about how phantom died but i think it would be really funny if danny was not distraught about this at all and when phantom's asked he just gives a very chipper "my parents did this to me for science!"

If you don’t know your username or if you’ve replaced it with your name, your actual username is in the URL on your profile page. It’s autogenerated and cannot be changed except for specific scenarios. It’s going to be a string of random letters and numbers and you can find it in the URL here: etsy.com/people/[username]

Please use this username in your email, I’m not sure if it’ll opt you out if you just use the name you chose.

[yourlocalcorviddad]

@staff

Just know that pelt DO NOT WANT THE CHANGES

We do not

We didn't want Tumblr Live

We don't want the crappy collapsed reblogs

We don't want changes to the posting system

We don't want the dash/feed to be that "best stuff first" bullshit

WE DO NOT WANT AN ALGORITHM! PERIOD. NONE NOTHING, NO ALGORITHM.

You can't even be bothered to fix the spam bot issue or get rid of the literal Nazis and hate groups on this site, but you want to implement changes that will absolutely destroy the entire reasons people use the site still.

I've been here over a decade, not as long as some, yes, but still a while., and while most of the changes sucked, they were tolerable.

These proposed changes Suck. Point blank. They Fucking Suck.

[darkwood-sleddog]

Because @staff is too cowardly…

What type of dashboard experience do you prefer?

An algorithm based feed where I get “the best of tumblr”.

Chronological feed that only features blogs I follow.

This doesn’t affect me personally.

Also accept nothing, taking a small thing even like a coupon can be interpreted as you accepting it as compensation.

[trutown-the-bard]

And the courts will agree with the party “compensating” you. Because the Court’s definition of “reasonable person” is completely divorced from reality.

Reblogging again. Firefox is an excellent, safe and fast browser and everyone should consider using it.

[badgraph1csghost]

Don’t just consider it. If you have the ability to switch to Firefox, this is your official notice to do it.

Stop everything you’re doing and go download and install Firefox.

If you’re saying, “well, I need Chrome because I need such-and-such extension for my job”, the computer will not explode if you install another browser. Use Chrome ONLY for work tasks and use Firefox for everything else. If you’re concerned about losing your bookmarks, Firefox can import your Chrome bookmarks.

[ID: Firefox Library window. The “Import and Backup” panel is expanded, displaying the option, “Import Data from Another Browser”, which is also circled with a red MS Paint ellipse. ID end.]

And, don’t forget to install uBlock Origin while you’re at it.

[badgraph1csghost]

Forgot a thing. Subscribe to Mozilla VPN for bonus points. It’s basically the only truly secure VPN service in the world right now.

For $5 a month, you can completely conceal your online activities from your ISP in a manner that isn’t just immediately monetised or turned over to the cops. No, it’s not free, it does cost money, but the money doesn’t go to line a billionaire’s pockets.

[thatdisasterauthor]

I wonder how much of this is because of work/school from home forcing people to use Chrome so all their stupid monitoring softwares and platforms can work.

[ms-demeanor]

This is also your reminder that you don't have to use just one browser. You can use chrome for all the monitoring bullshit your office wants you to run and use firefox for everything else.

Be sure to add the multi account containers extension to your firefox, which allows you to be logged in to multiple accounts on the same website at the same time in the same window but in different tabs.

look on my five open tumblr accounts (not sideblogs, accounts!) ye mighty and despair.

Firefox is super good, folks. It's good in a general "google shouldn't own everything in the entire fucking world" sense AND in a "this is an actual good product that does lots of cool shit" sense.

ALSO make sure to add the Ublock origin extension on Firefox - I haven't seen a youtube ad in five years and you don't have to either.

While you're at it, why not add the Wayback Machine extension so that if you go looking for a page that has been taken down the wayback machine will automatically offer you an archived version instead; also handy for documenting people's shitty takes and winning arguments after they delete the original post!

Worried that Firefox is going to slow down your computer? In benchmarks, modern versions of chrome and firefox are pretty much the same speed but you can still install the auto tab discard extension ANYWAY so that it will snooze unused tabs in order to keep your computer running faster. Set it to sleep, discard, close, and store tags at your discretion!

And while you're at it: install Firefox as your mobile browser for android and add those extensions to your mobile browser! Mobile adblock is here, baybee, save your data and enjoy a better mobile experience! And install it on iOS! iOS can't add extensions, but at least it's better than safari, and if you want a somewhat more private iOS browsing experience try firefox focus for iOS (which is also available on android but you can accomplish the same thing with extensions).

Anyway, firefox is good.

[unicorn-elvis]

Also: in January 2023, Chrome is making some changes to plugin architecture that effectively neutering adblockers.  If you want good adblocking, you won’t have it in Chrome.  Use Firefox

(In fairness, some Chrome-derived browsers like Vivaldi and Opera have openly parted ways with Chrome about this, and more power to them, but Firefox is the way to go.)

[spyglassrealms]

Longtime Firefox advocate here. @ms-demeanor has extremely solid add-on recommendations, including a few I've never heard of but will be trying out immediately (particularly auto tab discard; I'm a tab hoarder and my poor computer's memory suffers dearly for it). Dear readers, Ublock Origin is a MUST.

I would also like to suggest Unpaywall if you're an academic-type. I know we all love sci-hub but this is quicker and cleaner in most cases!

And yes, while Firefox on iOS does not have add-on support (yet), it's still better than Safari or Chrome! If you make your Mozilla account and log in on all your devices you can even pass tabs between them. Terribly convenient.

Now that Amanda Bynes is free from her conservatorship, organizers from the #freebritney movement are planning to double down in efforts to help Nichelle Nichols. They hope to raise awareness about the abusive conservatorship Nichelle is in and help the public understand why this situation must change.
