FYI, if you use Dropbox, they automatically opted us all in for “Third-Party AI” which is shady as hell.

To fix, log into the desktop site, click on your account icon>settings>third party AI and turn it off.

@jeffmanuel.bsky.social Read Taconite Dreams 2 weeks ago in my grad class on mining history. They really liked it, esp. the tax & politics bits.
