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 youā€™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 cutā€™nā€™paste it into its own post ā€” 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.

(Semi-obligatory thanks to @dgerard for starting this.)

      alas: my main workstation is (non-slate) macos, and itā€™s unchangeable for the foreseeable future

      good to know those (already) exist as options, though. if I can find some spoons Iā€™ll try look around and see if thereā€™s maybe something similar I can hack up/agglutinate from whatā€™s around

      Their desktop app is a bit shit anyway

      I havenā€™t even tried it yet because Iā€™m real ā€œehhhhhhhhhhhhhhā€ about even the idea of a js-/ts-based gui client for my password manager. largely because Iā€™ve met too many js/ts devs and I outright donā€™t trust their competence and processes. so your post is definite motivation for me to eyeball some of the other clients too
