Before Tumblr switched off access to NSFW blogs, it blocked archivists who were trying to preserve them

When Tumblr announced its plan to purge “female-presenting nipples from its service, the volunteer Archive Team leapt into action, working furiously to preserve years of material before Tumblr tore a huge whole in the internet’s historical record.

This week, as parent company Verizon was massively writing down its value, Tumblr went through with its purge, relying on its notoriously terrible automated filters to wield the flamethrower.

Throughout Archive Team’s labors, they were hounded by Tumblr, who IP-blocked the team’s members as they worked, with mass blocks taking place over the weekend during the final push.

canadian english is basically the illegitimate child of the queen’s english and americanspeak

Hey guys yall mind if i

[hedorah]

a take

tumblr doesn’t care about diversity and important social issues unless they can monetize it

they’ll censor the lgbt tag if companies refuse to put their ads next to it but they’ll also change their icon rainbow for a day because it’ll get them a quick buck and reaffirm their userbase’s faltering loyalty

ayn rand failing to understand that sesame street is for young children

[threegoatsinatrenchcoat-deactiv]

god this is missing the best part JIM HENSON I think Ms. Rand and my character Oscar the Grouch would have a lot to talk about actually. I am laughing out loud at this idea. AYN RAND Why would I want to talk to him. What has he achieved or trying to achieve. JIM HENSON He has achieved what I think is the ultimate goal of your way of thinking.

demanding that queer actors come out of the closet before playing queer roles is monstrous

queer celebrities have the right to make their queerness as private or as public as they choose, and neither choice is morally incorrect

i do not want to live in a world where marginalized creators are only allowed to create art about their own marginalized identities

New Macbooks and Imacs will brick themselves if they think they're being repaired by an independent technician

Last year, Apple outraged independent technicians when they updated the Iphone design to prevent third party repair, adding a “feature” that allowed handsets to detect when their screens had been swapped (even when they’d been swapped for an original, Apple-manufactured screen) and refuse to function until they got an official Apple unlock code.

Now, this system has come to the MacBook Pros and Imac Pros, thanks to the “T2 security chip” which will render systems nonfunctional after replacing the keyboard, screen, case, or other components, until the a proprietary Apple “configuration tool” is used to unlock the system.

Apple does not tell its customers that the computers it sells are designed to punish them for opting to get their property repaired by independent technicians; the details of the T2 came from a leaked service manual.
