Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? 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 youāll 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 cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

A friend of mine keeps suggesting Cursor to me. God damn I am sick of autoplag.

I keep wanting to give zed a serious go (even just to try it out because it looks interesting) but thereās some design decisions that are raisedeyebrow.gif and feel like a very telling thing about the mindset of the devs
fresh install:
while Iām certainly from the older guard of crotchety, I still think itās fucking reasonable to ask the user before your software goes off and does shit. you donāt even have to overload them with requests, you can make it granular with a customize button. this shit has been solved in fucking windows application installers since the goddamn 00s
christ Iām gonna stay angry at the last decade for a long time
tangentially, I think about this thread every so often too. this just made me think of it again.
