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.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)
Was checking out the QOI image format and the politics of the dev and found that he is pretty comfortable around the ladybird people. (sigh) Also the r slur on twitter.
Really amazing that such a simple format achieves PNG sizes and encoding speeds. 1-page specification, though itās more like 2 with a bit bigger text, for bragging rights.
Wait Ladybird is anti-woke? Sigh am I going to have to make my own browser?
(I know I know Iām a lot better about posting about wanting to do cool stuff than actually doing it, hazard of having a full time job)
prior stubsack from last year
Yeah I saw that but had completely forgotten about it in the meanwhile because I have the memory of a goldfish.
In the grand scheme of things there are worse controversies, but I would so love an enthusiast browser that is, well, āwokeā rather than one having a faint stink of techbro worldview about it.
true that
Dominic Szablewski also founded the German image board pr0gramm where he is known under the name cha0s. Itās similar to 4chan in many ways. That he enjoys the Ladybird crowd isnāt surprising.
Woah i had no idea. Apparently he also made a web crypto miner used in hacked sites.
