Don’t just accept the new Terms of Service

Tumblr’s at it again, thanks to the new European Privacy Laws. There’s probably nobody who will read this, but it pissed me off so much that I decided to make a post about it. (Ignore the weird language mish-mash, depending on your country the language might differ.)

OK, so many of us get this screen when we try to access our dash:

Realise how the ‘OK’ button is a nice, attention-grabbing blue? If you’re like me, you’re not exactly into reading a 100 pages document and tend to just click it.

My tip? DONT. Instead click on ‘Manage Options’ right next to it:

Now you’ll see this page:

Still pretty harmless, right? That ‘Accept’ button is looking really attractive right now. Instead, click on Verwalten (Probably something like ‘Manage Options’ or something in english) and you’ll get to this page:

Now that’s not too bad, right? I just switched all the buttons to ‘off’, because I’m jealously guarding my personal information and don’t want Tumblr to go off and do who knows what with it. Looks like we’re done! But wait: There’s a SHOW option.

When we click on that one, what we will get is this:

A HUGE list with OVER 300 ENTRIES of companies that can use your data by default if you’d just clicked ‘OK’ on that very first page. Coincidence that this list is hidden that much? Me thinks not. They’re all switched on by default, but I am still a petty bitch that doesn’t want to give out her data, so I switched them all off. All 300+ of them. There is no option to switch them all off at once, and even if you disable all the options above, the companies are still switched on.

(If you wonder how i got that number, I copied the list into excel and looked at the cell number. No way am I actually counting all those entries)

I too, am a petty bitch who unticked every single one.

You’ll also want to check your settings after, as the first time I unchecked it didn’t save

Here’s how to find these settings if you clicked ‘OK’:

On a desktop, go to https://www.tumblr.com/settings/privacy. If you are accessing Tumblr from a European IP address, you will see the following:

Note that the ‘Cookie Consent’ toggle will only appear if you are on a European IP address. I had to switch off my VPN to make it appear.

Un-checking the Cookie Consent toggle will take you back to the pop-up described in this post. Un-check all the toggles**, click ‘Done’, but DO NOT CLICK ‘OK’ AFTERWARDS.

Clicking OK will RESET ALL THE TOGGLES YOU JUST UNCHECKED. Instead go back to ‘Manage options’ again:

…where you can confirm that everything is still unchecked. From the ‘Manage options’ page, click ‘Accept’ to accept the new agreement with your preferences (hopefully???) saved.

** A handy tip from @saurosuchus-ostraviensii: “If you’re going to uncheck all the 322 companies, you can just click on the first toggle and then go tab, tab, spacebar a lot of times if you don’t want to click your hand into oblivion.”

when you have a lot of followers but no one pays attention to you:

thank you all for making my dash entertaining this year. below are people that i’ve known and liked for years, others for months and i’ve also only been starting to get to know a few of you since a few days but i already appreciate you. you know the drill, if you’re in bold and italic it means i really, really, appreciate you. meaning, we already got to talk to each other quite a lot and i’ve decided you’re awesome.  if you’re in bold, i still really like your presence on my dash but we don’t talk as much as we should (it can also mean that i used to see you way more on my dash/used to talk to you a lot and not anymore but that i haven’t forgotten about you). if you’re just in italic it means we don’t know each other enough but i still like you based on the stuff i’ve seen you reblog/the few times we talked. and if you’re not in bold and not in italic but still on this list, well, newsflash, you’re still cool. if you’re not on list though, it doesn’t mean i have something against you, it just means i haven’t seen nearly enough of you on my dash and never or barely talked to you to form a proper opinion of you but i’m *still* following you and it’s for a reason. happy new year!

Sometimes I suspect a mutual might have deleted but y'all change URLs very often so I don’t want to be like “why’d Herb delete” only to find out that Herb is now nutbuster78 and has been liking all my posts for six months

HOW TO FACT-CHECK ON TUMBLR

A few notes:

Dangers of online friends:

-You become emotionally attached. -You can’t hug them whenever you want to which is something you often forget. -You find people who don’t judge you. At all. -You have to learn time zones. That’s a real bummer. -You find people who love you for you. -You sometimes cry because you just love them so much and get super emotional when you realize they are thousands of miles away from you.

tumblr hiatus

im gonna go get some water from the kitchen and ill be back in 3 minutes. i hope you all do alright while im gone

breaking: blacks on tumblr reportedly fail to reblog a single post, causing sudden death to entire struggles, further updates incoming

fyi, if you are looking for a particular post in your blog and only remember a certain word or phrase, you can always do this:

y’all gotta stop changing your icons and urls at the same time with no warning there are too many strangers on my dash

Scrolling though my tumblr be like

*booty* *booty* *police brutality* *police brutality* *police brutality* *booty* *art* *r.i.p* *racism* *racism* *more booty* *police brutality*

update tips:

cheers!

Hey Tumblr, welcome to your better blocking system. So much better that we changed its name from “Ignore” to “Block.” A proper, muscular name. Solid as a block.

Someone acting like a tool? Go ahead, block them. Here’s what they won’t be able to do:

As far as their dashboard is concerned, you don’t exist. 

Holy sweet mother of Mary. It finally happened. Is hell freezing over?

fucking finally.

FINALLY
