Mainly video games related reblogs (Horizon saga mostly). Sometimes I post my own photomode shots

If you ever have imposter syndrome, think about this guy that showed up to the fight between Yarra and Drakka armed with an artichoke and wasn’t even remotely worried about it.

OK but I do genuinely believe we need to push for something like this before it's too late - and not just in digital spaces. We should have the right to peace and quiet from advertising. There should be more limits on how much and where we get advertising because otherwise it'll just become a creep of more and more until every fucking public space is lit with several billboards blasting us with ads, and the walls between spaces lined with ads, and our commutes filled with ads, and local parks sponsored by corporations to offset the cost of local councils, and so on and on and on and on. No. I need quiet. I need spaces where ads cannot touch me.

There are places working on it! Here's some:

Grenoble, France, in 2014 banned any new billboards and took down the city owned ones in a step towards de-advertizing public spaces. They swapped out the billboards with trees btw!

The city of Nantes in western France has recently banned most electronic billboards, dismantling 110 in one night. The municipality is also cutting digital advertising in shop windows and on the public transport system. It’s also banned all advertising near schools. Which is apart of Frances over all goal to reduce visual noise and light.

In 2009, Chennai, India prohibiting billboards, digital banners and placards in public spaces.

São Paulo Brazil created a law "Lei Cidade Limpa" (Portuguese for clean city law) in 2006

Several states, namely Maine, Vermont, Hawaii, and Alaska have banned Billboards and have been working on other electronic ad bans.

This article goes over what some other locations might look like without such advertising

So just know these kinda policies are possible! Whether your in Europe where the UN is working on anti-Ad legislation, in the US, or South America!

“They’re trying to convince people they can’t do the things they’ve been doing easily for years – to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies – to write that for you.” We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, “that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won’t know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can’t do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat. People are already doing this. You won’t have to process grief, because you’ll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it’s going to destroy humans, long before there’s a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people.”

Tumblr is doing some stupid AI shit so go to blog settings > Visibility > Prevent third-party sharing.

[jondoe297]

also use Nightshade and Glaze to protect your artwork and images!!!!

here's a link to Nightshade

here's a link to Glaze

best combination is usin Nightshade then Glaze on your images. Glaze creates a protective layer and Nightshade poisons the A.I. software.

WARNING: Etsy shop that steals from artists

I was bopping around on Etsy and found a shop that has stolen art from the wonderful talented @jukeboxindie.

MayfieldArtsCo - Etsy Canada

Shop items by MayfieldArtsCo.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS STORE. They absolutely did not have Indie's permission to sell their designs.

Artist friends: you may want to check out this seller to see if they've stolen your designs. If you see that they stole your designs, you can report them to Etsy for intellectual property infringement at this portal. (The IP policy is here.) You will need an Etsy login to report them, just FYI.

If you see art that you recognize as belonging to an artist, please let the artist know in private, and message the seller to tell them that they're on notice.

In the meantime, if you want to show your support for the real Indie, their Redbubble shop is here!

[jukeboxindie]

Thanks for the support! 💕 It's sad that artists still have to deal with this nonsense.

It’s heartbreaking to see the far right rise in a country that just got rid of a fascist dictatorship less than 50 years ago…
