Location Information: In some cases we collect and store information about where you are located, such as by converting your IP Address into a rough geolocation. We may also ask you to provide information about your location, for example to use your geolocation information from your mobile device to geotag a post. We may use location information to improve and personalize the Services for you, for example by showing you relevant local content. Tumblr may determine your location by using drone technology and live video feeds. Ha ha, no, we just check out your IP address or any location data you attach to a post. Normal stuff.
I've been going to all the sites that have data on myself and requesting exports of the data. Not only to ensure that what I want them to know about me is correct and up-to-date, but also to ensure they don't have anything I don't want them to know.
On most sites, the data's available either instantly, or it takes an hour or two for a request to be processed, and then I'm emailed a download link. However, I requested a download from Tumblr nearly three weeks ago, and it's still not available yet.
Considering how Tumblr made opting out of tracking that so hidden and difficult, I'm wondering if this is some kinda strategy where they're intentionally delaying the exports as long as possible so that people would forget about them. Has anyone else who's requested their data from Tumblr had a similar experience?
On May 12, Tumblr revealed that it had just found out about a 2013 data breach affecting "a set" of users' email addresses and passwords, but the company refused to reveal how many users were affected.
Since Tumblr's announcement, the hacked data appears to have been circulating within the internet underground. A hacker known as Peace, who also claims to have the data and was selling it on the darknet marketplace The Real Deal, said Tumblr used SHA1 to hash the passwords. Given that it also used salt, they are very hard for hackers to crack.
This data breach is now listed on Have I Been Pwned as the third largest ever, after the hack of 164 million LinkedIn accounts and the breach of 152 million Adobe accounts. You can check there to find out if you were a victim, though you should've been notified by Tumblr when the company forced users to reset passwords after announcing the breach.
Since Tumblr's data was discovered, years-old breaches at LinkedIn and MySpace have also emerged in the last couple of weeks. Whether there will be more, it's anyone's guess. But as we're slowly learning, everyone gets hacked, though sometimes we don't find out for years.
In my non-fannish life, I am a middle-grades humanities teacher, so I teach literacy and writing through the lens of history, cultural studies, and the social sciences. As an educator, I understand that each form of writing has to be taught, and my data have caused me to believe this about comment writing as well. It is a unique form of writing and one that even people who are highly competent in other forms of writing (such as technical writing or even fiction writing) might find challenging, especially given that comment-writing is performed in public and often directed at a writer whom one admires.
This means that we can look at commenting across that time. Unfortunately, this is not necessarily cut-and-dried: The fandom has changed in major ways in the fifteen years since the first rush of fans excited by the LotR films started entering the fanfiction community, and those changes make an apples-to-apples comparison difficult or impossible. But putting together the various data to which we have access, a picture of how commenting has changed over time emerges.

I had the same issue with the Tumblr app on my iPhone 4. I ended up deleting it and never reinstalled it. My iPhone 4 was running iOS 6 at the time and it was tough to pinpoint which app was chewing up my data.
I have sent a e-mail to Tumblr and explained this issue that I am having. I am hoping to expend all other means of correcting this problem before I have to resort to a full restore of my iPhone, as it seems to be specific to Tumblr. Any other apps that I restict access to - as a test - work without fail. Its only the Tumblr app that is somehow circumventing the cellular data restrictions.
Oh balls COMPLETELY FORGOT. I've not been keeping up with the dataglitch lore, and dont know if this has been spoken of on your blog, so I was curious, if that's alright of me to know: are you a professional artist, and if not, what's your professional field in life? Always super interesting to find brilliant artists that aren't themselves artists by trade

Hello! Thank you so much for your hard work with datamining the game. It seems like the chats and calls for day 88 (the first day of Tolup) is missing on the website. Do you have the files? Also I think that Cheritz updates the files sometimes and change the dialogue, for example in the chat day 144. Do you have any plans to replace the old files after some time passed? I understand if this is hard since there are so many files.
any thoughts on the new post that staff went scorched earth on which is now making the rounds abt tumblr live? it basically screenshots all the tos and claims if you've ever opened the app (or in some rbs, unsnoozed live) tumblr has gotten your data. on the one hand i feel like this is fearmongering, but on the other its true that MOST sites have your data as is so its pretty standard. you seem pretty knowledgeable abt data gathering so i was wondering abt your take
Commentary tags require categorization by actual people, they require space in the databases (which bloat ridiculously with thousands upon thousands of one-off tags), and they require network and bandwidth resources every time a story with one of those tags is called up to read or when those tags are clicked on or otherwise searched.
Hello Dr Mumford! I am working with a dataset where I am interested in finding overlapping clusters for the A vs B contrast at time point 1 and time point 2. Is it possible to model it somehow in FSL?
Hello, I want to ask you a few questions. We performed seed analysis on fMRI data from resting state and reading tasks in two different fMRI analysis programs, FSL and CONN. Preprocessing of the data was carried out in CONN. Separate first-level analyzes and then group analyzes were conducted in both programs. However, a difference emerged in the results of the group analysis conducted in the two programs. Is it normal to see such differences as a result of group analysis in programs where the input data and pre-processing are exactly the same, but only the first level analysis differs?
Hit Dr. Mumford, I have a multi-echo MRI dataset and I want to run GLM with FSL. I fully pre-processed the data with AFNI+Tedena, and have a set of EPI and anatomical scan (per subject). What would I do to plug this data into the first- and higher level Feat? I could do the "Stat" only in the 1st Feat to avoid preprocessing my data over, but this won't allow me to proceed to the group level analysis as it expects registration outputs from the fist level. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
