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 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.

(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this. Happy Halloween, fellow sneerers!)

Oh this will go well: Tom's Hardware story about someone at Cisco committing to rewriting "98%" of legacy code using AI in 24 months.

    saw that earlier as well, and I had a real good laugh about the myriad ways that will go wrong. both the obvious (derping proprietary extensions, etc), and the less so (crashing a control plane because the chatbot doesn’t understand 256MiB ram)

    the sheer utter range of the crisco product range as it is…. phenomenal display of how removed from knowledge the execs are
