Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending Sunday 7 April 2024 - eviltoast

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 cutā€™nā€™paste it into its own post, thereā€™s no quota for posting and the bar really isnā€™t that high

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many ā€œesotericā€ right wing freaks, but thereā€™s no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iā€™m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged ā€œculture criticsā€ who write about everything but understand nothing. Iā€™m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyā€™re inescapable at this point, yet I donā€™t see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnā€™t be surgeons because they didnā€™t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canā€™t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

    heā€™ll probably draw a significant amount of power from the fact that some of the walls in my house contain GNU utilities running on small Linux systems

        Richardā€™s 2004 laptop runs FreeDOS but he find/replaced all instances of ā€œFreeDOSā€ in the code to ā€œGNU/Hurdā€

      I heard if you make minor modifications to those but then donā€™t publish source (along with branding them and dropping license files) then he can take 20d6 psychic damage
