Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending Sunday 12 May 2024
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.

can't wait to see how the felon musk stans try to excuse this one (archive)
The company said in its blog post that the problem began in late February, but it has since been able to compensate for the lost data
ah yes, because the lost data is the problem, but the thing floating in someone’s brain after coming loose 3 months ago isn’t something to speak up about. totes fine.
and there's a certain kind of regularity to keeping the lid on that news. like it was a choice to take that action. if only there were words for something like a pattern? of behaviour? if only[0]

PZ Myers called this: https://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2024/05/09/i-predicted-the-fate-of-neuralink/
yeah I mean not to dismiss that, it's not the hardest of predictions. the thing i'm pointing at here is more that another felon musk company lies and misdirects, in the pattern of culture set by the fucking turd-in-chief.
I just feel bad for the guy they implanted this in. Going to join the list of people who had a short term working piece of tech implanted and now are walking around with scrap. (It isn't that far yet for this guy, but Musk doesn't have the best track record).
