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.

I wonder if the OpenAI habit of naming their models after the previous onesā embarrassing failures is meant as an SEO trick. Google āchatgpt strawberryā and the top result is about o1. It may mention the origin of the codename, but ultimately youāre still streered to marketing material.
Either way, Iām looking forward to their upcoming AI models Malpractice, Forgery, KiddieSmut, ClassAction, SecuritiesFraud and Lemonparty.
i used to be the sysadmin for lemonparty
it was quite a surprise when i found out i can tell you
ā¦I feel like thereās a story here.
camping out on a friendās box, two others had root, but they effectively never bothered. the disk filled one day and i went looking for stuff that wasnāt useful. found that site, found it really was where DNS pointed.
my current box is the descendant of that one
this is what the cloud and its enshittification has taken from us
shared root on ad-hoc hardware doing fuck knows what (but itās probably lemonparty)
these days lemonparty would be a (ahahahaha) docker image (fnarr etc)
did yāall see bash.org looks to maybe finally have died died? thereās an archive up somewhere at least but rip to a bastion
(this thought comes to mind because I instantly wanted to link āour thoughts go out to the recent victims of internet fraudāā¦)
A couple months ago I lobbied for (and won) my weekly trivia team to use the name āmikeās hard lemonpartyā
Then I learned exactly how old I was
