intrusive audio ads

new-xkit-extension:

If you’ve been active on tumblr lately, you may notice that they’ve started running a new type of ad in the right-hand sidebar unit. Specifically, there’s been an uptick in ads that auto-play loud audio, some of which are even un-mutable.

We’ve addressed this in Anti-Capitalism version 1.3.0, which adds a new option:

(small mea culpa: the naming here is slightly confusing. this will *always* remove the sidebar ad, even if it doesn’t happen to be one that plays audio, because we don’t have the ability to distinguish between them. the other difference is that it does it in a way that also takes care of the audio-visual component instead of just hiding the ad, like some adblockers have been doing)

let us know what you think! I’m probably going to be going to bed soon, but you can always reach us in our ask box, our support blog, or our live support chat. In general the dev team has less time to reply to asks nowadays because of both real-life obligations and the sheer quantity of asks we receive, so you’ll generally have a better time with the support chat, if you can catch one of us online. If nobody is online, you always can leave a message for us to read later. thanks for understanding!

(one last plug—If you’re interested in helping us run New XKit, for example by answering asks or helping other users with questions + problems, come stop by and introduce yourself! we don’t bite, we promise!)

I think Thor would be top. That lightning, that hammer – that could really be nasty for Cap. He’s a god – Cap would have a hard time walking away from that one.

I’m sorry but Ianto and Jack’s kiss across the desk is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen, they’re so in l o v e I can’t even comprehend the amount of love in that kiss

The story is that the crew let them go at it for a while before calling cut. I’d just about give my right arm for that footage to emerge one day. I’m pretty sure it would break Tumblr.

Actually the story I’ve heard the most is John asked the crew to keep rolling. Poor Gareth had no idea and only realized after they continued to kiss for a longggg time.

……
I need that footage I will bREAK SOMETHING if I don’t get that footage!!!!

I have scoured the internet from top to bottom and have not been able to find it…yet.
I think the footage exists somewhere in RTD and JB’s personal files, and they watch it from time to time.
But this is the next best thing, Gareth explaining it in detail:

… OK, two things are are now officially official:
1.) I would absolutely die (y/k, at least of a heart attack or smth) if I ever did get to see that TWO AND A HALF MINUTE TAKE (LIKE HOLY ************* CRAP)
&
2.) Gareth totally lied to the Official TW Magazine when he said that the kiss was super-easy / not awkward at all because they were both perfectly aware of each other’s respective sexualities & completely respected them. GARETH EITHER WASN’T COMPLETELY AWARE ABOUT EVERYTHING CONCERNING HIMSELF OR JOHN TOTALLY TOOK ADVANTAGE OF HIS GREAT DEDICATION TO THE JOB

I’m 99% sure, that there’s a direct line between my love for Gadget Hackwrench

And Jillian Holtzmann
