Literally fuck you tumblr nobody wants your stupid tumblr live button

So to my understanding Snooze Tumblr Live on mobile as a toggle IS working, for those confused. The issue is that Tumblr has changed what that toggle controls. Not only has it switched from 7 days snoozed to 30 days snoozed, but it has also changed *what* exactly is being snoozed.

If you look at the wording, it specifically says you toggle to snooze it “from your dashboard”. I take this to mean that what you are actually snoozing now is Tumblr Live video recommendations popping up at the top of your dashboard feed. What you seemingly can’t snooze anymore is the icon on your taskbar.

They have changed this function so that the icon will stay there on the bottom of the screen from now on, and all you are snoozing is recommendations on your dashboard tab.

So yeah, it sucks.

whoever came up with the idea of changing the tumblr desktop layout... i hope that both sides of your pillow are hot as toasted toast because what the fuck 😭

Heehee one day late but happy new year, the uniform is still being held hostage in the guest room.

He will remain in pajamas until he gets the uniform back.

Letter translation : Your uniform is having a blast lmaoo. Xx, Fred. Ps : come visit anytime

Merci, new staff in hand! –

i'm so unironically baffled at the amount of downgrades this site pushes out on a nearly weekly basis at this point. Near half if not all of them are almost completely useless and give absolutely zero benefit to user experience, if anything @staff is quite literally distancing their userbase.... do you think i want another twitter? Like what purpose or benefit does taking away dash avatars has... what's the benefit of taking away basic accessibility features.. fucking genuinely. I hate it here. I don't know how many more feedback letters I have to send in order for all this shit to stop... i'm so tired.

Idk why I even bother with the Sims 4. It’s the abusive game you keep playing no matter how many times EA hurts you.

At least thanks to DLC unlocker I didn’t lose real money over it.

I have to wonder how many people celebrating AI translation also complain about "broken English" and how obvious it is something was Google translated from another language without a fluent English speaker involved to properly clean up the translation/grammar.

Because I bet it's a lot.

I know why execs are all for it—AI is the new buzzword and it lets them cut jobs thus "save" money and not have to worry about pesky labour laws when one employs humans—but everyone else?

There was some outcry when Crunchyroll fired many of their translators in favour of AI translation (with some people to "clean up the AI's work") but I can't help but think that was in part because it was Japanese-to-English and personally affected them. Same when Duolingo fired many of their translators in favour of LLM translation. Meanwhile companies are firing staff when it's English to another language and there's this idea that that's fine or not as big a deal because English is "easy" to translate and/or because people don't think of how it will impact people in non-English countries.

Also it doesn't affect native English speakers so it doesn't get much headway in the news cycle or online anyway because so much of the dominant media is from English-speaking countries and English-speakers dominate social media.

But different languages have different grammar structures that LLMs don't do, and I grew up on "jokes" about people speaking in "broken English" and mocking people who use the wrong word when it was clearly a literal translation but the meaning was obvious long before LLMs were a thing, too. In fact, the specific way a character spoke broken English has been a way to denote their native tongue for decades, usually in a racist way.

Then Google translate came out and "Google-translated English" became an insult for people and criticism of companies because it was clearly wonky to native speakers. Even now, LLMs—which are heavily trained on English compared to other languages—don't have a natural output so native English speakers can clock LLM-generated text if it's longer than a sentence or two.

But, for whatever reason, it's not seen as a problem when it goes the other way because fuck non-English readers or people who want to read in their native tongue I guess.

Okay. Maybe a little bit of autism. I really wanna share this DnD AU Broken sketch even though the hammer was so terrible and uncooperative the whole way through. Essentially this is a Tempest Domain cleric Broken- although he does eventually switch to be a Oath of the Crown paladin after breaking away from the Tower’s influence

I plan to digitize this (and maybe do a dramatic scene too)

the fact that Lee worked in Arkham and it didn't break her, didn't make her less kind, more cruel, etc., etc., proves once again (for me) that she is the most morally strong and golden hearted character in Gotham

the more i think about it, the more i realize just how genius the boop system was as an april fool's day prank..... they gave us the biggest thrill this site has seen in a while then took it away without a trace the next day. all that's left is hearsay and crashing dopamine. it's sick and twisted. it's genius.

What the hell is going on with suggested posts @staff?? I opened tumblr today to find EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. is radfem transphobic garbage.

I'm used to being recommended shit I don't want, but it's usually in a "the algorithm's an idiot" kind of way. I've made a point of blocking and reporting this stuff. IF I'M STILL SEEING THIS THEN YOUR ALGORITHM IS DOING THE OPPOSITE OF ITS SUPPOSED FUNCTION.

And given the state of the tumblr CEO's stupid meltdown, it feels disturbingly intentional. I've weathered a lot of "end of days" changes on Tumblr, but this is the first time I've genuinely considered abandoning ship.

Curating the content you see is a fundamental requirement for social media platforms. If @staff can't get this issue under control then frankly there's nothing usable left for anyone except the hatemongers.
