it’s funny to me how the logic behind tumblr’s new layout changes are to coddle potential new users, to make them feel more comfortable by giving them a layout that’s more familiar to navigate
…..by making the CURRENT users feel LESS comfortable by giving them a layout that’s LESS familiar to navigate.
they’re prioritizing a hypothetical scenario over their established, existing userbase, some of which (like me) who have been here for 10+ years
SAG just released all the deal points and the AMPTP’s response, and you can find ALL of it online but I feel like this screenshot from it sums the whole thing up.
as 90% of desktop users have probably found out, today @staff released an update that for some insane reason COMPLETELY remodels the dashboard to replicate twitter’s. this is of course in the wake of numerous other thoroughly hated changes and a continued refusal to fix any of the site’s actual problems, half of which stem directly from site management.
HOWEVER, thanks to the power of jQuery, i was able to throw together a userscript that remodels the dashboard back to its original look almost perfectly.
here is my dashboard right now, with the script active:
and here is the old dashboard in separate tab container that hasn’t received the update:
it’s hardly perfect; i had trouble making it force reload to the fixed layout when switching between other pages and the dashboard, and it currently only fixes just the dashboard. it’s also completely untested on browsers other than firefox, and chances are it looks a bit screwy on ultrawide monitors. but for now at least, it’s a good fix.
the unfucker is a tampermonkey userscript. all you have to do to use it is install the tampermonkey extension, hit “create new script”, and replace the default code on the page with the script (link here) and save it.
I think one of the reasons why tree law is so popular and people are so enthusiastic about it is because a big, old tree being killed feels so awful. You’ve got something that took years or decades to get that big, that provides so many benefits, and then it’s just…gone and irreplaceable. Of course people are like oh boy, you didn’t think that thing was valuable and now the law is gonna come for you and you’re gonna regret it.
And it feels like one of the few cases where the rich (not the mega rich, but the regular rich) actually get held to account for their crimes, because the punishment is designed to match the actual damage they do. You cut down a bunch of your neighbor’s trees to make your property more valuable? The punishment is basically the cost of your property.
