Sharing this incase you’re also locked out of Blue Sky due to the ID thing
Apparently Android and IOS can do this age range thing without giving personal info directly to the website
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.
Meta has enabled a setting that allows anyone to use your public Instagram photos to create AI-generated images of you unless you opt out.
To opt out, click your profile -> 3 bars in the top right -> scroll down to "Sharing and reuse" and toggle off for both Posts and for Reels.
If you use google chrome/edge you're tech illiterate.
If you use Firefox you're outdated and can't let go, or a furry
If you use opera you love the Chinese government or gamer slop
If you use waterfox/librewolf you're tech savvy
If you use brave you're a threat to society
Am I the only one that thanks my model before closing vtube studio? Like I'll say "thank you, Neo" as I'm turning my camera off and closing vtube studio. I do this after every time I use it. After streams and recordings.
@mausleeps It can be tricky for sure. I'm not good at reaching out to others either. Especially here where there's so many bots or scammers. Take it slow if you need to. The good experiences will greatly outshine the bad ones.
Simple fix:
-Remove the time constraint
-Replace it with an achievement constraint
-Make every game give an achievement just for launching
Boom no more refunds.
While it may cause some to not buy a game because they know they cant refund it, it will breed MORE creativity in our games instead of pumping out whatever they can create in an afternoon for a quick buck.
It will also cause consumers to actually be interested and intelligent about what they buy.
And finally, it will STIFLE these bullshit streamers from getting view revenue off of every “penny slop” they can find; the gaming market is TOO saturated with bullshit at this point.
@GringoireGirl I've been told my voice goes very well with my model if that counts. I just talk how I talk everywhere. No special flair or anything to it for me.
PlayStation updated its Terms of Service in April 2026, and Section 21 outlines how inactive PSN accounts may be closed.
> If a PSN account remains inactive for 36 months, Sony may begin the account closure process. The account holder will receive an email notification and has 6 months to sign in or request that the account remain active.
> If no action is taken and the account is closed, access to PlayStation Network services will end.
>Any digital purchases tied to that account, including games, DLC, and other digital content, will no longer be accessible.
According to the Terms of Service, this process is irreversible.
Just to show you how scummy Sony is being with this news.
They anticipated their numbers would drop through people protesting/boycotting by canceling Ps Plus and pre-orders but they won't have to show their numbers to investors until the end of September.
Their next earnings call is July 31st however it only covers up to June 30th. They planned this out perfectly to drop it on July 1st for this very reason. The numbers dip early July, they have over 2 months to watch them HOPEFULLY recover as the deperate gamers crawl back and the investors see that Sony moving away from physical games didn't hurt anything.
Keep this is mind as we move forward. Sony is betting on you caving and crawling back to them in the coming weeks. Oh and so are the investors.
hi @TeamYouTube
Several smaller creators are being abused by your copyright system and are at risk of having their channels deleted and have asked me for help.
A german company called fifthfreedom GmbH is copyright striking videos for music called "Radio Cultural Rendezvous" when there isn't even ANY MUSIC in the video. Dozens of original videos all struck when there is zero copyrighted content in them.
I can't even list the channels because doxing them would mean this company could target them with more strikes and have their channels deleted.
Appeals/counter claims DO NOT work because they just send more strikes and these smaller creators have tried every possible support channel with no real response.
An AI chatbot DM'ing me a self help article is NOT helping, can I please get a DM or an email from a real human being to help these people out?
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney believes AI could have helped Destiny stay profitable after a report said the game’s biggest problem was the high cost of producing a constant stream of new content.
“If only some sort of newfangled technology could come along and make it possible to overcome bullet point #1 and enable games like Destiny to thrive!”
The report said Destiny was only occasionally profitable because Bungie had to keep making new content to retain players, which was very expensive. Sweeney believes AI could ease that process for live-service games in the future.
