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 cutānāpaste it into its own post, 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.
love how the MS shill eventually reaches:
narcissistās prayer speed-run
every fucking time! and the answer seems to be: they care enough that privacyās a core part of Appleās marketing, but microsoftās core competency is still managing Maslowās hierarchy of needs enough that their users are on average just barely more inconvenienced by switching operating systems than they are dealing with whatever new shitās being sprung on them (and this latest new shitās gone from annoying to actively dangerous, so the tactic is to convince users itās irrelevant to them until itās made mandatory, as Microsoft does, and then the pain of suddenly switching operating systems will be even greater)
27 years of trying to make clippy mandatory and theyāre still fucking at it but surely this time theyāll listen to their users
