Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending Sunday 05 May 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 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.

    Unity has a new CEO

    here’s the cliffnotes:

    • he’s a former EA executive, responsible for their mobile business
    • after that, he was COO of Zynga, a very good very ethical company making mobile games
    • he wants to “help accelerate the Company’s revenue growth and profitability”
    • Unity recently laid off about 25% of their workforce (1800 people)

    I sure wonder what great changes he will implement, exciting times ahead for UnityGodot!
