slightly relieved to see that scratch isn't training their CLA/whatever on scratch user data, BUT:

We also want to assure you ***that right now***, we are not training any AI models on Scratchers’ data. (from https://www.scratchfoundation.org/ai )

that first half is still concerning. are they trying to give themselves wiggle room to start training models on user data later down the line? the recent ToS changes leaves the door wide open for them to. i really, really want them to fully close this. training on user data - especially data created by minors - should not be an option for them.

USELESS FACT: the wrapped feature on wasteof post explorer still works for 2024 - somewhat. you have to modify the url directly since the interface only goes up to 2023 (after which wasteof.plus and post explorer seems to have ceased active development). you can also go earlier - although if your account (or even the whole platform) didn't exist for the year you try, it won't work (explosion optional).

it isn't as fancy as past years reports, but it shows just enough numbers to count.

the amount of time i spend complaining about ui design i don’t like would probably make me a reasonable ui designer

not “good”, but just “passes as functional”
