opinion: the AWB is too afrikaans for it to be likely that that is where he picked up his nazi shit. then-era ZA still had a lot of AF/EN animosity, and in a couple of biographies of the loon you hear things like "he hated life in ZA as a kid because .... {bullying}", and a non-zero amount of that may have stemmed from AF bullying EN

(icbw, it's definitely not something I've studied the history of the loon's tendencies, but can speak to (at least part[0]) of the ZA attitude)

(([0] - I wasn't alive at the time it would've mattered to him, but other bits of the cultural attitudes lasted well into my youth))

istg these people seem to roll "b-b-b-but <saltman|musk|sundar|....> gifted this technology to me personally, how could I possibly look this gift horse in the mouth" on the inside of their heads

Don't know how much this fits the community, as you use a lot of terms I'm not inherently familiar with (is there a "welcome guide" of some sort somewhere I missed)

first impression: your post is entirely on topic, welcome to the stubsack

techtakes is a sister sub to sneerclub (also on this instance, previously on reddit) and that one has a bit of an explanation. generally any (classy) sneerful critique of bullshit and wankery goes, modulo making space for chuds/nazis/debatelords/etc (those get shown the exit)

from this article

Amazon asked Chun to dismiss the case in December, saying the FTC had raised no evidence of harm to consumers.

ah yes, the company that's massively monopolized nearly all markets, destroyed choice, constantly ships bad products (whose existence is incentivised by programs of its own devising), and that has directly invested in enhanced price exploitation technologies? that one? yeah, totes no harm to consumers there

the esteemed poster huffed and puffed at least twice more on their local, which we blessedly don't have to see

such a hilariously pathetic bit of darvo, too. fuckin dipshits.

feels like it’s lining up to be the WinME of this decade

2008 called, it wants the pedantry back

do you see why I take the shortcut?

the imagery (in the article) is also amazing, it's like if someone took all the images of Civ leader dialogue screens as source material for ~~direct replication~~ "inspiration"

I didn't previously know I needed this in my life but "mentioned in the stubsack" needs to become a household phrase

yeah, seconding. nothing I've seen of @corbin's posting, here or otherwise, leads me to think that they're in favour of exploitation or the numerous other issues involved in this shit
