Microsoft Office, like many companies in recent months, has slyly turned on an “opt-out” feature that scrapes your Word and Excel documents to train its internal AI systems. This setting is turned on by default, and you have to manually uncheck a box in order to opt out.

If you are a writer who uses MS Word to write any proprietary content (blog posts, novels, or any work you intend to protect with copyright and/or sell), you’re going to want to turn this feature off immediately.How to Turn off Word’s AI Access To Your Content

I won’t beat around the bush. Microsoft Office doesn’t make it easy to opt out of this new AI privacy agreement, as the feature is hidden through a series of popup menus in your settings:On a Windows computer, follow these steps to turn off “Connected Experiences”:

File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Privacy Options > Privacy Settings > Optional Connected Experiences > Uncheck box: “Turn on optional connected experiences”

for Mac users, it is in from Word > Preferences > Privacy settings > Optional Connected experiences

—> somehow it seems to be unchecked by default but maybe that’s only for EU users or i don’t know — in doubt CHECK YOUR SETTINGS

i need this butch so bad

Steve From “Blue’s Clues” Just Checked In On “The Kids He Raised” And Gave Them A Safe Space To Offload After Donald Trump’s Election Victory.

Interestingly, Steve doesn’t even speak in the 59-second video, but appears to give viewers a comforting presence as he enters the outdoors shot and “offers them” a hot drink.

And many of the comments thanked Steve for offering them this safe space, with one person writing: “As a trans man, I felt this to my core. I took the breath with you then started bawling. Thank you.”

“The man who is a staple of my childhood didn’t say a single word and it brought me to tears. Steve, thank you. I don’t know where we go from here,” somebody else wrote.

Another popular comment reads: “He didn’t say A WORD and said everything at the same time. This man should be guarded at all costs.”

“Neither of my dads checked in on me today. But you did Steve. Thank you,” one more acknowledged.

“So much responsibility on Steve’s hands to make sure we are okay. We need to make sure he’s doing okay too. I mean I’m not doing great, but he’s still looking after the kids he raised,” somebody else added.

While another concluded: “I bet you didn’t think you’d still be raising us all these years later, Steve, but thank you for still being here.”

For those who are not on TikTok or have never had Steve show up on their FYP, there is some very important context missing here...

Steve's whole page is just him asking the viewer how they are doing and then remaining silent while "listening" very intently. The comments are then filled with people updating him on how they are.

This is why the post-election post hit so hard for folks.

He didn't ask how we are doing.

He didn't need to.

He just gives us a mug of our favorite hot beverage and a thoughtful nod, then stands with you for a minute, listening, just to let you know that none of us are alone.

Wait! There's one more thing I forgot to mention. In case you didn't know and needed another reason to love him.

His Tiktok channel? All his videos are 59 seconds long.

Which means he cannot monetize them. Which means he makes zero dollars from this wonderful thing he does and he just does this to make us all feel like he's still looking out for us.

Steeeeeeve.

BEE LB, from "friction polish"

She was one of us. We didn't deserve her but we had her and I was heartbroken when Netflix tore her away from us before her time

I almost forgot to show you, a close-up and the process of this artwork.

I had a very hard time painting his hat, haha. On second thought, I should have probably tried to make Lucy's eyes bigger, so that she would look more like Ella, but oh well. I don't mind it when my drawing is flawed, it gives me an excuse to draw more.:D

I still gotta catch up on the other prompts, but I really wanted to do this one because I have a headcanon that Lucy is fascinated by Cooper's skin and even finds it kinda beautiful, and Cooper is just like completely confused by this lol
