#yahoo sucks

[tirsden]

A note regarding my domain and website

I’m in the process of extracting myself from Yahoo’s webhosting service, or I should say, disservice, and have already transferred my domain to Google Domains. As such, tirsden.com should be pointing to this tumblr before much longer. I’ve been with the same web host since it was called Geocities, and since then they have changed brand names several times, convoluted their plans and pricing, messed up on billing, and generally I just don’t trust them as a web host anymore. Plus, I haven’t updated my website in eons (even the doll section moldered) and it’s time to simplify.

The website itself will be shut down once my domain points to this tumblr (update: done and done!), and I have no current plans to put the site anywhere else or start from scratch. For now, the sprawling insanity that is (or shall we say, “was”) my website is backed up elsewhere and will be waiting for me if my braincells ever want to tackle it again. Long-haul covid added a whole new layer to my laundry-list of physical and mental health issues as of a couple years ago, and it’s incredibly difficult to be creative at this point in my life, especially when it comes to plunking down with images and html code.

So yeah. Simplification. Also, the $20/mo becoming $12 a year is nice. XD

not enough talk about this photo of costas. look at this shit. hes sitting there like hes on a rap album cover. hes got a nypd outfit AND a beanie on, literaly just put a joint in his hand and he'll look exactly like a photo you'd see in a retrospective documentary about a famous 80s rap artist. he looks like hes about to pop up in the studio and drop some certified jigsaw warehouse classics

#saw #mark hoffman #costas mandylor #hopefully this makes sense and it isnf me screaming into tjd void #alsl hopfully i made no spelling misykes in the mainvpost im tired #anyways chat. i have rsv rn. i had no clue what the fuck that was until like 3 days ago but apparently its like covid dlc #so yeah that sucks #no school though yahoo

You know what would be really funny, is if people came together to have an anti-crab day. A day where every user who joined prior to automattic’s acquisition logged off for 24 hours to show that yes, actually, older user retention is important and you should listen us just as much as new users

The users giveth, the users taketh away

#this isn’t about the sidebar btw I’ve already said I don’t mind the sidebar #I think it could be a better sidebar like the 2014 tumblr layout which was great #but it’s Fine (tm) #this is about live and the new post editor and the apparent avatar removal bs ‘experiment’ #and it’s also about how these big overhauls keep being done meanwhile we can’t have like. a search function that works #or the queue reordering tools that already exist on mobile web applied to any other platform #you know. all the little stuff that’s comparatively easy to implement yet they ‘don’t have time’ for because they’re too busy #with these massive overhauls and ignoring all the asks that go to wip #also I don’t expect anyone to actually do this and I’m sure as hell not organizing anything cause that’s a lot of work lmao #but I think giving them money pre-emptivelt just showed they can do whatever they want and we’ll fall for it #taking away money would be more effective #idk I don’t think current staff are any better at running tumblr than yahoo was #they’re just better at the ‘we’re quirky and relatable just like you guys uwu’ bit #and a lot of us fell for it but I think the illusion is starting to lift #anyway idk it sucks here but all the other sites are either worse or empty so what can we do #(genuinely wtf can we do this nonsense is getting bad) #text #misc #shut up nerd #new layout stuff

"this website is falling apart" said by people who weren't even here yet when pictures on mobile were just shitty gradients

#this website is doing better than during the verizon or yahoo years lbr. #and live + the one piece tab + the header thing that removes icons suck. but let's not pretend things have never been worse #bc oh they have. a lot #[i didn't talk about the trans ppl getting their selfies reported bc that's 100% terfs mass reporting and is not a thing staff did] #[tho they should manage their moderation better]

I think Elias knows how to use Excel formulas, but i think he also tries to google stuff and instead somehow ends up posting “goggle.com how to evil laugh step by step wikihow” on facebook

#the magnus archives #tma #elias bouchard #jonah magnus #he uses spreadsheets but when does he need to do online research? #probably not much because he has Eldritch Yahoo Answers in his brain #so i just think he probably sucks at online research and the like

#insurance rejected the claim from the corpse cleaners #so now i guess. i get to face down a $30k bill yahoo #<- i’m not gonna be financially ruined by this it just sucks #bc i got a phone call this morning telling me i just need to #pay the deductible which was $2.3k and now it’s like #oh! sorry we lied you gotta pay $28k on top of that teehee #i love. living in the united states. /heavy sarcasm #(and mind this is on top of like $7k in legal fees and the $140k mortgage) #frustrating but. we’ll be fine. #just letting people in on just how much it costs to die #oh yeah. his memorial/cremation costs were like $6k but thankfully he had funerary insurance thru his #job so they took care of that for us 👍 #edit: oh okay because the company we used for bio cleanup are literal angels it’ll be at most like 15k instead since we’re paying ourselves #anyway why the fuck do you pay for insurance if you can’t ever use it damn

is there a tumblr alternative we're looking to move to? the ad situation on here is getting ridiculous. i was on my laptop today and while logging in, the background was a one piece ad instead of a post, then it yelled at me once i was in for my ad blocker extension, then when i turned it off to see the difference, my entire dash was taken over more one piece ads, even the background of my dash was an ad.

also the bot problem. we banned porn for this? i get followed by 20 bots a day. its fucking insane. where is all the money from the tumblr store and the ad-free purchases going bc its clearly not going towards site maintenance.

#im not paying you to make your website functional #i miss when having an account was a financial drain for yahoo #im fine with other platforms being like this because they always were #but changing the website to be like this is insane #tumblr #tumblr sucks ass #this is awful

So, Google just released a new way to mess with everyone.

Google accounts with inactivity (for 2 years) will be deleted.

This is a positive and a negative honestly.

Positive: Finally, accounts that were just made solely to either have free trials or just to make many accounts to follow your favorite on. Are finally going to disappear. In other words, allowing other people to use that email name.

Negative: I have an old email that is holding information. Because of storage issues. I'm not paying extra for storage. Fuck off with that.

So how can you prevent your Google account from deletions?

Enter to your Gmail once a year (the simplest way to keep it active), use google drive, watch YouTube videos (link with that Gmail), share a (google) photo, use Google searches with that Gmail, read or send emails with that Gmail and finally, use the Google third-party sign-in feature with that Google account.

There are exceptions to this new policy.

"Examples include: a Google Account with YouTube channels, videos or comments; an account that has a gift card with a monetary balance; or an account that has a published application, for example, one that hosts an app on the Google Play store..."

For every single Google account, if your account is eligible for deletion, will be sent a warning email by Google informing you that the account will be deleted on whatever date has been chosen (for now every "inactive account and any content in it will be eligible for deletion from December 1, 2023"). If you have a recovery email, two emails will be sent. One email will be sent to the account that is eligible to be deleted and another to the recovery email.

This is their way of making it easier for you to keep that account active.

"Our priority is to make it as easy as possible for you to keep your account active, if you want to, and we’ll ensure you have adequate notice before any account is impacted by this change. So before an account is deleted, Google will send email notifications to the Google Account and its recovery email (if one has been provided)."

This policy was updated yesterday (July 28, 2023, around 8:01am EST).

My guess is that Dec 1st, 2023 is when the clock starts. But idk and I highly recommend everyone go to your inactive accounts just so they can be deemed safe from the purge. Also, recommend making a recovery email if that Gmail is important to you and needs to be kept alive.

An idea of mine but will not recommend it unless someone can vouch it's a good idea. Make a scheduled email and have that sent to your account like a 'hey future me' kind of thing. As long as the account is active and is sending emails it should be fine right. However, I think Google is more seeing if you are actually checking your Gmail or using your Google account. But hey, it's a good idea, right?

#google #single boost #google policy #google account #I should really update my Gmails and just allow google to delete them... but like I'm a lazy son of bitch so fuck you #you can only take them away from me once I'm 6ft under #I really think my idea of making a scheduled email should work because it does say reading or sending and email can keep it active #SO LIKE... IT SHOULD WORK RIGHT?! #anyway. THIS SUCKS BADLY ESPECIALLY WITH PEOPLE WHO BEEN USING AN EMAIL BUT FORGOT THE PASSWORD. #I remember doing that once with my yahoo account with tumblr... and once I decided to change my yahoo to google... #Tumblr just flat-out kicked me off my account and was like uhhhhh nah you a bot sorry #>:| grrrrr how dare #anyway just a heads up in case no one saw this new purge account policy

Please brain, I do not have the money to become re-obsessed with BJDs again. Let me be happy with the 3 I got.

#i really gotta pull my boys - and their freakish amount of clothing - outta storage again for more pics #bjd #dolls #my baby is even limited <3 I so fancy lmao #been sucked into this fandom for LITERALLY 20 years now if not more #idk cause the Den Of Angels forum only formed in 04 #but I was around when they were still a fuckin Yahoo group

I can’t believe tweetdeck would get shredded right before Elon wants people to pay for it. tweetdeck is the only good feature twitter has. If you can’t post and retweet between multiple accounts there’s no reason to use it? What else does twitter offer people who have to segment their presence across multiple accounts? 

Since I work on 18+ material but also like to, you know, have a personal life and friends who may not also like what I’m working on, it’s nigh impossible to use the damn thing now. There’s like, no point? AND THIS GUY WANTS PEOPLE TO PAY MONEY TO USE THE THING HE BROKE? 

Also, wow! happy disability pride month! right on the heels of the supreme court dismantling rights for lgbtq people in pride month, the website disabled people us to gather/share resources due to it’s wide accessibility is now extremely inaccessible. 

#vpersonal #and im not fooled #im old enough to have experienced the death of many popular social media sites. myspace. quizilla. livejournal. yahoo gutting tumblr #It can happen anywhere at any time and I really hope people who are younger brush up on their computer literacy because an FYP #isn't going to save you. you have to learn how to search for content off these websties and without them putting it in front of you because #things are careening towards a very grim future where it's nigh impossible to use a search bar effectively AND your content is extremely #censored and filtered. im not catastrophizing here. it's RIDICULOUSLY more diffitcult to find things and share things now than it was #10 years ago i was a HEAVY tumblr user and the website functioned beautifully with xkit and they dismantled that and made this website suck #it will continue to happen and you have to be ahead of the curve
