Illustrator: I can’t really demonstrate this here but when I turn on that piece of shit “Application Frame” (only turning it on because I know it will be shit so I can moan about it here) but when I rollover the title bar to go and drag it my mouse turns into a resize cursor in order to do that FUCKING 8 CORNER RESIZING BULLSHIT THAT HAS ABSOLUTELY NO PLACE IN MY OPERATING SYSTEM WHAT SO EVER AND JUST BECAUSE SOME BELLEND AT ADOBE LOVES IT I HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THAT SHIT but it changes into the resize cursor ANYWHERE on the fucking title bar so its impossible to move the pissing window about.
FUCKING GARBAGE ADOBE, stop this stupid 8 corner resizing shit right now! Stop rewriting the OS rules you bag of dicks
I was sitting in the Barnes & Noble parking lot with my lights and car off. I was texting while thinking of where to go to eat. All I knew is that I didn’t want to go home right then. All of a sudden, there was a knock on my window. I, being the most jumpy person ever, screamed. It was a homeless man holding up a note. I couldn’t really read it because I was honestly scared from being startled. He saw that I was scared and started walking away. I felt so damn bad. I knew he wanted/needed money or food. I saw him go up to another car as well and was rejected. My heart honestly broke. He walked farther and farther and I kept debating if I should go up to him and go into Stake N Shake and go buy him a meal. He ended up walking farther and farther as I got hungrier and hungrier. I drove over to the mall to get Subway. I got a veggie footlong, so I could have half for lunch tomorrow. Then, I decided that I would drive back and give it to him. He probably wouldn’t like it much since it had no meat, but food is food when you’re hungry. I drove back and couldn’t find him. Up and down the parking lot and strip mall. A new wave of anger came over me. I kept kicking myself for not helping him out in the first place. When I pulled out of the parking lot and crossed the intersection, I saw him pushing the stop walk on the other side with his basket. I had no way to turn around or anything in the intersection, so once again my heart fell. Another failed attempt. I feel horrible that I didn’t help him out. I’ve always wanted to sit and have a meal with a homeless person. I guess that’s creepy, but I just think you can learn so much from them and it’s a wonderful experience. I hate myself even more for getting scared or whatever to start with. I hope someone helps him out tonight, tomorrow, or sometime soon.So, so heart breaking :(
This is really upsetting
I’m really sorry for how poorly I handled this. Last night, an email circulated at Tumblr that incorrectly implied we were enforcing a new policy on “reblogging-blogs”. Our community director accordingly suspended several accounts that had recently received numerous complaints.
This was brought to my attention late last night, and after deliberation with the team, we decided the most responsible steps would be to explain our decision, update our policy publicly, and apologize for the content being removed prematurely.
The harassing behavior we’re specifically looking to protect against is accounts who’s “sole or primary purpose” involves negatively targeting “specific members or groups within the Tumblr community”. That is, “reblogging-david”, etc. These were targeted for two reasons:
- They seriously discourage the expression we’re building Tumblr to enable, and we know they can make Tumblr a shitty place for the people targeted.
- We view them as an exploitation of our reblogging system which places accountably on the identity of the poster. The thought being that responses get to live on your site, not mine. So people are significantly more considerate of what they post.
That said, the timing was a mistake. We accidently rushed into enforcing this policy which was, in fact, on hold as we’ve been evaluating a new blocking feature as a programmatic alternative.
We have absolutely no interest in censoring users, though we will continue to police spam and illegal content. We’ll spend this week closely evaluating our policy changes and looking for a programmatic solution.
This policy decision had nothing to do with any personal relationships.
And to Owen’s point about us announcing “a new revenue-generating feature on Monday”: This was in reference to the Valentine feature, which proudly earned Tumblr its first revenue last weekend.
