@Anania00 Honestly my husband uses it now, but you could probably sell it! People are still purchasing the Switch one and OLED cause they’re still making games that work for them.

If your Instagram is public, Meta just enrolled you in something you didn't agree to.

Their new AI tool, Muse Image, lets anyone @-mention your Instagram handle in Meta AI and generate images using your face and photos. launched Tuesday. opt-in by default. no notification when it happens.

→ you won't be told when someone creates an AI image of you

→ opting out only stops future generation; anything already made stays live

→ there's no mechanism to remove images created before you opted out

how to turn it off:
Instagram → Profile → Menu (☰) → Sharing and Reuse → turn off Posts and Reels under "Allow people to reuse your content on Instagram and with AI features at Meta"

note: the setting is still rolling out. if you don't see it yet, keep checking.

if you want the strongest protection right now: go private.

On June 19, 1865, African American communities in Galveston, Texas, finally learned of their freedom from slavery — two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation took effect.

For 161 years, Juneteenth has been a day of remembrance for the freedom that was delayed. It is also a celebration of the joy and resilience that flourished despite that delay.

The contributions of African Americans, whose struggle for freedom shaped our nation, are immeasurable. Yet too many Black families continue to bear the brunt of an affordability crisis that has pushed them out of the neighborhoods and communities they've built.

True freedom has a tangible impact on daily life: the ability to afford housing, earn a living wage, put food on the table, support a family, and create a future for generations to come.

As we celebrate today, we must recommit ourselves to ensuring this freedom is fully realized.

Happy Juneteenth, New York City.

Millions of federal student loan borrowers are must choose a new repayment plan as a popular income-driven program winds down.

After years of legal limbo, a district court judge last month officially killed the rule behind Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE), a plan created under the Biden's administration that was known for its generous terms and low monthly payments.

In other words, if you've been on the SAVE plan, you'll soon have to pick a new repayment option or eventually have an option chosen for you. Here are three things to know about the end of SAVE and what's next.

[The Debt Collective 🟥 @StrikeDebt]

If you have federal student debt, you may have recently received an email from the Department of Education telling student debtors who are in the SAVE forbearance to switch plans.

We want to encourage you to not rush this next step.

Take a deep breath. You have until September.
