Welcome to Tumblr News. Tonight’s report; the make-up community, the Catholic community, and the kink community collaborate in an unexpected yet real way.
Maybe stop calling people neurotypical when you don’t fucking know them because not everyone is comfortable having an itemized list of all their mental disorders in their sidebar hahah
Why do people act like caring about one issue means you’re ignoring others? I can be upset Charleston and still criticize Rachel Dolezal and support Caitlyn Jenner and criticize her politics and follow what’s going on in the DR and be hype about OITNB and remember McKinney and police brutality. There’s a difference between increasing awareness about an issue and stroking your own ego because you think you care more about what the real problems are.
Please for the love of all that is holy DO NOT USE THIS TO PERSONALIZE YOUR TUMBLR. It’s covered in adware and every single time I click onto someone’s tumblr who has it I have to run my spybot and then it catches a bunch of stuff and in one case one of these addresses downloaded an adware program onto my computer that prevented me from hitting back on my browser and had loud popup ads now and then and annoying blue hyperlinks everywhere. It took several hours of my time to remove the darn thing from my computer completely.
“But I can have a cool personalized name with .co .vu!” Yeah, you know why? Because most people don’t use it so names aren’t taken. Why?
Because it’s covered in adware and spyware.
If you respect your followers AT ALL do not use this. Please.
incorrect - a domain name in and of itself cannot contain spyware or adware. someone on tumblr having a .co.vu domain name does not mean that their blog has spyware at all.
of course unscrupulous people will use a free domain name service to host spyware and adware, same happened with .tk domains back in the day, but having a .co.vu domain with a tumblr dns lookup =/= INSTANT SPYWARE BURN IT IN A FIRE.
i’ve had a .co.vu domain for months and i’ve visited plenty of blogs with .co.vu domains too and i’ve never had any spy- or adware alerts when using avast, spybot or norton. in fact, it sounds more to me like you downloaded some spyware mistakenly along with a seemingly innocent program, or gave something permission to run on your system that is doing malicious things.
if you believe this you have no idea how spyware/adware/malware works, and should probably look up how dns lookups and domain names on tumblr work without changing anything except for the address used to access your blog. unless you give an add on permission, in a browser or on tumblr itself like you have to do with twitter and fb, only you can make changes to the coding of your theme. don’t download themes from commercial sites, stick to trusted creators on tumblr or the theme garden if you don’t know how to spot malicious jquery or other coding in a layout.
i googled a few things and all i could find was trackbacks and reblogs to this heap of steaming misinformation, so no, .co.vu domains ARE NOT KNOWN TO GIVE ANYONE MALWARE IN AND OF THEMSELVES and they are still 100% SAFE TO USE
unless you’re an idiot who just grabs a theme from a website covered in ads and installs it, or you click on pop ups or don’t have a good anti virus or various other things, in which case the blame lies with no one but yourself and your inability to internet properly tbh.
let me repeat .co.vu is no more than a DOMAIN NAME. all a domain name does is give your blog a different address - like changing your house name from 1a, tumblr drive to apartment 1, ground floor, tumblr drive - all it has done is change the name people type in to get there. a dns lookup just pings nameservers until your computer gets the ip address to the website you are trying to view. a domain cannot give you spyware or malware on your blog, all it does it give your computer directions to the server your blog is on, so it can download the correct information.
