beaches @b3aches - Tumblr Blog

I was first introduced to the computer as a small child. I then started programming my TI-83+ in high school during algebra, and it spiraled out of control from there. Several years later I ended up at HOPE Number Nine, where I worked on Radio Statler doing the audio archiving. For some reason they asked me to stick around. I have always had a knack for collecting things, especially information. Who knows, maybe you'll find some interesting things here.

Outside of Tumblr, you can find my socials on my web site:

okay so like the waymo android app uses the google play integrity api and wont let you use waymo literally at all unless your phone passes at the strictest level, which is a nakedly anticompetitive move, right? and i use grapheneos which doesnt pass the strictest google play integrity check because they dont license google mobile services (<- google play integrity once again being less of a security feature and more of a tool to protect google's business model). BUT, as i just found out today, APPARENTLY you can bypass the waymo app's integrity check by just... banning it from using the play integrity api??? and then it just works???? GIRL WHAT

I really want one of those magnetic poetry thingies but dude I am not paying 22 fucking dollars for cheap magnets with words on them.

If you have a printer (or a marker), you can peel off the sticker from those promotional mail magnets, replace them with your own, and then cut them up with a craft knife?

Turn Tumblr into an audio visualizer ✨

Ever wanted your music post background to dance to the track you've uploaded? Good news. Tumblr's here to vibe with you.

One legitimately weird thing about Tumblr is that we literally can’t code for shit, many people quit working at Tumblr due to a hostile work environment, and we can’t seem to program a simple blogging website to not flood your RAM.

You should take some time to read @3liza's post documenting the Phantom Report Bug (which she deserves praise for doing, thank you eliza) and see how fucking broken Tumblr's report tool is. I also want to reiterate something she is once again correct about: no one files bug reports. I have first hand experience working at Tumblr and I remember having to tell web devs on Staff "i saw a post about someone talking about a bug" and they were unaware because no one followed through to file a bug. I have fixed bugs that I saw people posting about that were in my domain (I'm a mobile dev) but were not in the system. No this is not an endorsement of "complain about it enough and eventually someone will see it", this is an endorsement of "file a bug report directly to computer companies and people will most likely read it and probably fix it". I mean it this is not a Tumblr-only thing. I've seen this at every company I've worked for. Just fucking file a bug report please I beg you, software gets complicated and the devs are just unaware that there's a bug until you bring it to your attention. And they want to fix the bug! I promise!

WHAT AM I ALWAYS SAYING TO YOU PEOPLE. COMPLAINING GETS THE GOODS. YOURE NOT ALLOWED TO GET MAD UNTIL YOUVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE PROBLEM TO SOMEONE WHOSE JOB IT IS TO FIX IT

sending anon hate is the ultimate losing game because like, what're you gonna do? refresh their blog every 3 minutes? fan behavior

In terms of establishing the fundamental aesthetic of the 1990s strand of cinematic cyberpunk, the 1993 Super Mario Bros. adaptation is probably up there with Johnny Mnemonic and Lawnmower Man influence-wise, as much as we all hate to admit it.

Welcome to the "learned from this post that the first major live-action feature film adaptation of a pre-existing video game franchise was a dystopian cyberpunk AU of Super Mario Bros. for some inexplicable reason" club.

SOOO if you've not been made aware yet, tumblr has added a 'comments' section to your blog, where, if made visible, others can see the comments/replies you've left on posts.
