The latest 11.0 update means that Google Analytics is a thing on the switch and turned on. What that means is that Nintendo has a deal with Google to share with them your data for advertisement purposes.
To turn it off
go to the eShop
go to your profile where your funds and account info is
go down to the bottom of the page
there you will see “Google Analytics Preferences”
select the Change
select “Don’t Share”
Please spread the word. Really shitty of Nintendo to just quietly start allowing Google to spy on users for advertising.
and you know what the fucking bullshit is they’re replacing it with a ~6 months free of a subscription to a third party captions provider~ which of course you’d have to pay for after those 6 months are up and you KNOW random youtuber #9039 isn’t going to bother to keep paying for that either because they won’t have the money or they just won’t care. and youtube’s going to act like that’s a perfectly fine alternative that won’t result in the majority of the site suddenly going from “more or less accessible” to “Fuck You If You’re Disabled”
“citing low usage” are you fucking kidding me nearly every worthwhile video i watch uses community captions. sometimes they’re kind of janky cuz they were made by some 14 year old who thought it’d be funny to put their own irrelevant jokes and commentary in there but that wasn’t a reason to ditch the feature entirely when its so useful and important
i’m not even hard of hearing and i rely on them to watch videos in other languages…this is literally how people have been making english subs for japanese songs and the like for years and it was great because you didn’t have to reupload the videos yourself and take away views from the original creators. many creators don’t allow reprints of their work whatsoever so if they go through with this (which unfortunately they seem pretty deadset on because lololol moneyyyyyy) it’s entirely likely that there just won’t be a way to watch that content with captions
there’s a petition to keep community captions…i don’t know if it’ll really do anything since they’re already going ~oh but we have Paid Alternatives!~ but don’t just let this pass by this should be a huge deal but i’ve barely seen anyone talking about it (not that i expect people to talk about things of any particular importance on tumblr but it’s not even getting attention on twitter beyond that one thread and like 2 other posts)
so like. sign this and shit don’t let youtube just actively get rid of accessibility features without anyone caring (though i’d say probably use twitter if you want to actually get their attention i don’t think they’d look here) http://chng.it/LN9HRNmnkg
I just randomly remembered about a book series I read like 10 years ago but all I can remember is that it was online
I thought I had the file of the last book somewhere but I think it was on dropbox and I guess I deleted it over a month ago
I think there was some kind of romance? Definitely magic. Might have been a dragon? I think there was a dude with a tattoo and some sort of villain redemption. oooh boy. The “series” had it’s own website to download the books from. I don’t even remember how I found it first. I think it was with fanart or something
there was 3 books and I’m petty sure shadow was in the title of the 3rd one
oooh wait, wait. I think there was a vilain turned good or something. Like he attacked the city, but now he was locked in a tower and the townsfolk didn’t trust him?
WHY DID I DELETE IT
I’m fairly certain one of the main characters was corrupted by shadows or something like that
all I remember is Book 3 : Shadow
I’m starting to wonder if it wasn’t an absolute fever dream, but I know that I saw the pdf several times on my computer and that I read stuff online in high school
I can’t find a single trace of it, but I’m sure I saw it recently
