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 you’ll 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 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.
Last week's thread
(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
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 don’t know him, and launching a lawsuit for (throws a dart at a dartboard) uhh shoplifting, he shoplifted my website
YOU ~wouldn’t~
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.
Wouldn't a goth prefer heavy mode?
and now that damn jingle is playing in my head at early o’ clock
awful.systems: where the abyss delivers, always
The only reason I use dark mode is because my phone is OLED so it uses less power. Otherwise I go for light.
This is what the BDFL model is all about.
