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:
ALT
and here is the old dashboard in separate tab container that hasn’t received the update:
ALT
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.
One of the only thing the 2000s had going for it was the mythbusters. Those dudes ruled, nobody hated the mythbusters, I mean they hated each other but nobody else hated the mythbusters
An entire generation of scientists, engineers, and psychos with access to amphetamines owe so much to them
Sorry prev, but your tags were good and I felt like everyone should get to read them
Extremely dangerous how “grooming” in the context of child sexual abuse went from being a very specific pattern of isolation and trust-building with the aim of abusing someone to “telling children anything that contradicts their parents’ ultra-conservative worldview is grooming” to “selling rainbow flags in a store is grooming” to “literally anyone I don’t like is a groomer”.
These days the word seems to most often be used by people who don’t care about what it actually means and just want an easy “this person is irredeemably evil, kill them now” button.
male and female are not opposing forces that cancel each other out. you’re allowed to be both, at the same time, even, if that’s how you feel. you can be a boy who’s a girl. you can be a girl who’s a boy. same with masculinity and femininity. they’re not mutually exclusive. you don’t have to sacrifice one to have the other. you dont have to choose one to like and one to hate. you CAN have both, again, if that’s how you feel.
this is so nostalgic. tumblr rolls out something terrible. everyone complains. it breaks several people’s dashboards. for some reason it only rolls out to a few people at a time with seemingly no warning. the community collectively and immediately searches for a browser extension that undoes the change. i know we’ve all gotten burnt out on all social media sucking but this is genuinely The tumblr experience. everyone who hasn’t gotten it already gets an achievement. welcome to the club
