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.
(Semi-obligatory thanks to @dgerard for starting this)
pivot to ai now has working dark mode! all praise to the illustrious @fasterandworse@awful.systems
i still hate dark mode, but others fucking love it so
Thank for letting me know there are other people indifferent to dark mode. Sometimes I feel I am the only one.
i have already had whiny shits demand that I (a) set dark mode default (b) remove the switch
default is currently set to whatever your browser thinks is the default and you can switch it otherwise
this is the best default imo
the only times I dislike it are when the siteās dark mode implementation is trash. I occasionally get to notice these, because their implementation is such way that dark reader activates (time trigger), I suddenly get flashblind on some site because dark reader flips their thing to eye-stabbing light colours
itās a little magical and not entirely reliable so iām not a fan, but the switch is there
God forbid you go out of your way to do something nice without some most entitled asshole in the world giving you shit for it.
Awful.systems defaults to dark mode.
like a good developer, I made my personal preference the default (and I think when we started there were major issues with switching themes?)
booooo should be my personal preference (light)
brb banning David from the awful.systems plugin repo, modifying the login page so everyone has to swear they donāt know him, and launching a lawsuit for (throws a dart at a dartboard) uhh shoplifting, he shoplifted my website
YOU wouldnāt
shoplift a WEBSITE
imma fuckin do it again
Common mistake, but David is from the UK. He was actually just looking online for ways to improve wheelchair accessibility in a multistory house. On a lift-shopping website.
Isnt he a goth? Dont think he needs more lifts.
Wouldnāt a goth prefer heavy mode?
and now that damn jingle is playing in my head at early oā clock
awful.systems: where the abyss delivers, always
This is what the BDFL model is all about.
The only reason I use dark mode is because my phone is OLED so it uses less power. Otherwise I go for light.
