this post just took me on a short mental journey of how nice that’d be but also how far we’re off from achieving it

what, you mean the various people who compared this to cryptocurrency and its ridiculous hype and excesses had a point? shock, horror

that is one hardcore high tech spoon and really, really cool

thinks that he should be in charge of all branch merges because he doesn’t understand the release process

.......I don't want you to dox yourself but I am abyss-staringly curious

as a youth I'd acquired this at some point and I recall some fondness about some of the things, largely in the novelty sense (in that they worked "with" the desktop, had the "boss key", etc) - and I suspect that in turn was largely because it was my first run-in with all of those things

later on (skipping ahead, like, ~22y or something), the more I learned about the guy, the harder I never wanted to be in a room as him

may he rest in ever-refreshed piss

I mean, at the rate the chucklefucks are going, a number of these things are actual security exploits

that it happens/works for a completely unhinged reason is almost a separate evaluation dimension in scoring

“I, personally, possess the choice on what irreversible impact to make on some other human being’s body without their input at all. Oh and also it’s supes totes fine to do, in general. To babies. Duh.” sure is a take

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 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.

Unfortunately I can’t snip from mobile easily now, but maybe someone else can archive it and comment with archive link?

Not entirely the usual fare, but i figured some here would appreciate it

I often rag on the js/node/npm ecosystem for being utter garbage, and this post is a quite a full demonstration of many of the shortcomings and outright total design failures present in that space
