#i havent updated the app

okay im probably very behind but. what the actual fuck did tunglr dot hell do to the image+video function on mobile (rant ahead)

i used to be able to tap an image to bring it up to fullscreen, and from there i was able to zoom in+out (whether with a pinch in/out OR a doubletap), swipe left/right (to slideshow thru every image in the entire thread, whether in the original post or the subsequent reblogs), and ALSO swipe up/down to leave and go back to my dash and the full post. going fullscreen brought up the lil like/rb/share icons in the corner, but if you didnt need them, tapping once on the image made them disappear so you could Focus On The Image You Were Looking At.

with videos, i could click to bring it fullscreen, tap the centre of the screen to pause, and swipe left or right to skip however far forward or back. tapping elsewhere onscreen made the time bar on the bottom pop up, along with the mute/unmute icon and the like/rb/share icons. tapping again made these things disappear. swiping up or down would slide you out of the fullscreen viewer and back to your dash.

this was perfect! it worked wonderfully! no complaints!

but NOW when i click an image, it gives me all this extraneous information i Didn't Fucking Need Or Want (whoever's blog it came from, plus who THEY reblogged it from, plus a tiny snippet of a random caption ((not alt text!! not image ids!! just Other Words!!)) that MAY OR MAY NOT even be from the specific version of the thread im looking at, PLUS the number of images youre swiping thru, P L U S the like/rb/share icons.)

Nothing Makes This Bullshit Go Away. and having all that extra bullshit in the way fucks up the image quality all to hell anyway, but ALSO?? no longer can i even ZOOM IN ON THE IMAGES. it doesnt allow you to swipe through every image in the thread anymore, just the images in *that particular section* of the chain!! on top of all THAT, you cannot swipe out to exit this view anymore! you have to press your back button! bc APPARENTLY by SWIPING UP ((ON AN IMAGE, MIND YOU, NOT EVEN A VIDEO)), it tries to take you to something called """"tumblr tv"""" which im assuming is their version of endless fucking tiktok scrolling/instagram reels. which... fuck that noise, all the way to hell.

on trying to watch a regular-ass video, it gave me a similar amount of extraneous annoying information that i couldnt tap away from. like how fucking tiktok has it so you cant escape the side icons+captions+user handles and shit. i dont WANT that shit. if i clicked to make the video fullscreen, i want the video to be taking up the full screen!! i dont WANT none of this weird other shit you cant get rid of,, i have no use for it!! thats what playing the video OUT OF FULLSCREEN IS FOR, Hellsite You Idiot Bastard.

so uhh. anyway. if anyone has any ideas for how i can Get Rid Of/Turn Off this goddamn fucking """feature,""" i would really appreciate it. i did a once-over of settings earlier but didnt see any new obviously stupid buttons, so im not sure where else to start

#i havent updated the app #so i dont even know when/how/why this shit got implimented #but i fucking hate it #it immediately made the app WAY fucking worse than it was #i really liked using this site to look at art and shit:( but my eyes are shit and now i cant even fucking ZOOM IN #i hope theres a way out of this. ik people arent fans of mobile but i seriously cant stand desktop for long #the landscape/short×wide layout is annoying as hell for my brain for some reason #and i can never remember the shortcuts well enough to actually git gud at using them so i spend the whole time im on there vaguely annoyed #long post #i was fine with the itty-bittied .gifs & images after polls updated bc that was funny at least #this is just ridiculous and obnoxious #bee speaks

Summon Night: Swordcraft Story (ATLUS, 2003)

#my actual posts lol #haha what if i made a daily diary post thing like nico #..i was just thinking #today was a good day #and i thought of this song #ive been playing summon night swordcraft story a lot as of late.. though none today actually #its still on my mind though #i considered using dweller empty path's song flying through a stary sky instead.. but this is what i thought of first #i think it fits best to use it #i actually had to jump through some hoops to upload music! #cus my tumblr app is kinda old.. i cant properly upload music. i could only put a link #which isnt exactly ideal #so i tried in my web browser.. but maybe its cus i havent updated it in a while or maybe just cus its tor.. it didnt work #so i downloaded firefox and did it on there lol #now im editing it in my drafts back on the app #dont ask why im not just doing it on my computer... shes having some technical difficulties. we're working on it #but not today #... #today was pretty eventful.. even if not very productive. but ive never been a very productive person #we went and saw some light festival thing! it was rly nice.. a little simple at times but it was fun #we went and got some yummy snacks earlier too! tho ive already eaten them all hehe #and i started up animal crossing new leaf. i hadnt played it in ages! its startling how much better it is than new horizions.. imo at least #only problem is i couldnt make it the same as my island.. and i didnt remember why i named my last town #we searched for a while for some reference or somfin to name it after.. but we ended up just going with ''faraway'' #cus i liked the idea of being asked where im going.. and just saying far far away #and as beth said it has a kinda fairytail vibe! #...only after i named it did i realize i accidentally named it after the town in omori. oops! #...im about to hit the tag limit. so whoevers still listening i just want u to know.. #i love you. ok? #goodnight

THANK YOU!!!!! #you have allowed me to afford a new ipad and continue making things ; w ; #and hopefully finally get to try out procreate dreams which i havent been able to touch yet fhrfrhf32fe #I REALLY WANNA TRY TO MAKE AN ANIMATIC FOR YALL..... #i thought abt asking for one for xmas but i dont want to wait and it would be a V expensive gift to ask for and also like #id rather just pick one out myself... than rely on my family picking out smth... so... you know. timing is what it is whatever #XMAS GIFT TO MYSELF #personal #txt posts

[excaive]

Now why on earth did I suddenly get fucking tumblr live on mobile while I have automatic updates off for my apps 🤨🤔 is that allowed. it's disgusting to see that dumb feature I wish I could kill it forever instead of the stupid "snooze for 7 days" bullshit

#cai.txt #man if tumblr is gonna keep shitting itself then i might just peace out from the internet fr #or maybe do more with my webbed site and just hang out there lol #anyway im mad that it appeared when i havent updated this stupid app

[boycritter]

Oh my god. I have to update my fucking phone. Stop updating ur useless fucking apps that do nothing but bloat my fucking PHONE

#chattin #almost none of my apps work anymore 😭 #i havent updated my phone in YEARS. i hate ios updates #im always scared im going to lose all my fucking songs despite my backups #everything requires a 15.0 update or higher. #but im at 14.7. i wonder if theres a way to just install the 15.0 update and not the most recent one #although its apple so trying to do things on ur own without them holding ur hand (for convenience) is impossible #i saw some um. very bad qol updates via my mom and my sisters phones. so i dont. want that. #this is also why i need money. i need a new fucking phone that isnt apple 😭 #EDIT: i cannot do individual updates. as i assumed. alas.

not to sound like a boomer but i miss when purchasing a game meant you could play said game whenever you wanted

#i havent played minecraft in months because it HAS to download the resources or whatever #the goddamned ea app is so fucking worthless #and the sims 4 is so goddamned broken #every week theres a substantial enough 'bug fix' update that my mods end up breaking #and i just want to play the game i have already purchased and already installed whenever i want #without an internet connection #without mandatory updates #without headache

[heliianth]

i feel fucking insane everyone going "prev tags are back!!!" they were never gone???? just click the blank area next to prev's name? i thought we all figured this out ages ago and the issue wasnt that they were gone it was that the way to access them was unclear for new users + it was an unnecessary change

#hello???? ive been able to look at prev tags this entire time #& the process has been the same on mobile #but i also havent updated my app for like a year so that doesnt really matter LOL #heliichats

[shirtshawaiian]
