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.

    hell, if anyone else is curious to also poke:

    I presume I'm not the first nor (will I be the last) to ask about this,
    but for the weight of the argument it's still worth asking
    
    are you planning on keeping the openai garbage directly integrated in
    iterm2? and "just turn it off with a setting" isn't a good answer tbh
    
    I don't want it in the terminal I use. I don't want it in any software I
    touch. openai are a deceptive abuse company led by an abusive liar, and
    it saddens me to see yet another good thing get taken up in the hype
    these charlatans drive
    
    no "I've been $x for $y" pleading arguments here, I don't want to try
    bend your ear with any number of platitudes and such you've heard from
    others - just straight-up asking the above
