Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid!

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 soo 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.

    Apparently MS is “making significant changes” to recall, and there are murmurs that multiple people at MS are realmad about how this played out

    Because yes, it’s the dirty users with their petty concerns that are the problem here, not the perfect product that they managed to bring to market oh so rapidly!

    I wonder how long they’ll leave this in the windows build before finally making it a manual feature install (if not entirely killing it off, which will eventually happen too)

      Also much further up that thread there is another example of the same tired “if you’re not ready to accept AI…” shit that many corps have been pulling. I just lambasted sentry about that shit recently too. These fucking people do not fucking understand consent, and they don’t seem to think that people might not actually want this utter shite
