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.

my IDE,
notepad.exe, didn’t support capitalizing words until they added copilot to it. so therefore qed editors couldn’t do that without LLMs. computer science is so easy!For a moment I misread your post and had to check notepadplusplus for AI integration. Don't scare me like that
fortunately, notepad++ hasn’t (yet) enshittified. it’s fucking weird we can’t say the same about the original though
I'd argue that you cannot say basic notepad has enshittified, as it always was quite shit. That is why 9 out of 10 dentists recommend notepad++
there's a difference between "barebones"[0] and this shit
[0] - I will grant you that notepad used to be abysmal about handling unicode in the before time, but it's been less-fucked since at least XP or so iirc
Notepad has a right click menu? Mind blown ;). (but yes, sorry im showing my old ass and having decades old software grudges which are not really relevant anymore, I have become that which I hated).
