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 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.

an exciting new startup promises to be "airbnb for gpus"! rent out your GPU to run untrusted code for pennies an hour: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40260259

bonus: the company is “pivoting” from drone delivery

bonus bonus: boomer in the comments going on a nonsequiter rant about trans furries

Wait a year and see how kids get on blockchain to sell and buy GPU resources for rendering ‘trans furries’, or better analyse classmates’ stolen chats. I can vividly remember we were by no means disclosing private info back in ‘94 only to see a world of influencers in 2024 sharing their very personal guts for profits.

Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
