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.

Day 2686 of wondering how much Google can keep enshittifying everything it touches before people catch on.
I know you probably had no intention behind the number, but I just had to check. 2686 days ago was 12 June 2017. Pretty sure weāve known about how google fumbles shit from way before then!
That was the day when the transformer paper was released that kicked off this whole LLM shitshow. So my intention was just a little nod towards that. ;)
But yeah, the real number is probably quite a bit larger than that.
I see. Please forgive this philistine!
somone could make a command-line utility like
sdate, but for blarney engines!what would be a good name for it, do you reckon? The first thing to pop into my head was
shitdatebut thatās too close to the original and distro maintainers might get prissy about packages with swears in themslopdate
ASTx, autoplag standard time, but with tzdb entries localized as relative to each seminal paper/workfor geolocale, I suggest coordinates such as null island, and wraparound/bounding-box corners (per multiple mainstream map projection)
this is a masterpiece
According to an interview with the ceo of signal, when she worked at google the new ai wave shit was started by a paper in 2012, the authors of which were hired by google. So they saw the writing on the wall a bit sooner. When did they remove their dont be evil thing?
