Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid - welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful you’ll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cut’n’paste it into its own post — there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned so many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)

Mathias Schäfer has penned a follow-up to Baldur’s lament on webdev, bringing a degree of hope to the convo on webdev’s future.
I just opened the mastodon feed of my least favourite KDE dev again who is now pushing for an oh-so-reasonable LLM policy, and it is worse than I remembered.
- Crying about Zig CoC being mean to sloperators like himself.
- Befuddlement on why people are calling the stochastic parrot a stochastic parrot.
- Being very scared about autonomous AI.
- and of course the whole defending of hyperland and ladybird that was already discussed here some time ago.
Chicken little ass motherfuckers thinking the sky is falling when it’s just rain
It’s our favourite word:
Nuance! The world needs nuance!
Nuance; unless you mention environmental concerns, then you can shove your nuance where the sun don’t shine.
“Nuance for thee but not for me!”
