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.

      GNU/Scrotum is a great name for a lemmy fork, but Richard’s copyright lawyers would probably sue me and the settlement terms would involve him eating his foot skin on my couch and leeching off of my wifi from his 2004 laptop for 12-24 months

          he’ll probably draw a significant amount of power from the fact that some of the walls in my house contain GNU utilities running on small Linux systems

              Richard’s 2004 laptop runs FreeDOS but he find/replaced all instances of “FreeDOS” in the code to “GNU/Hurd”

            I heard if you make minor modifications to those but then don’t publish source (along with branding them and dropping license files) then he can take 20d6 psychic damage

        Are you sure he limits it to his foot skin?

        Play your cards right and you could put him to work like one of those fish that eat dead skin off feet as part of a pedicure.

        Apropos of nothing, does Stallman still request access to a parrot? It’d be funny to find him a place to stay with a person whose parrot is trained to talk shit about Stallman. “KWOK! SHUT UP ABOUT HURD!”

        Nah it’s masturbation in Swedish.

        More specifically, “en runk” is analogous to “a wank”, but it’s not idiomatic.

        wanking = “att runka”

        I wanked = “jag runkade”

        I had a wank = “jag tog en runk”, non-idiomatic. You’d say “jag runkade”. If you want to use a noun, “jag drog en tralla”.

          so 100% in the tradition of the area of software that thought a good name for its photoshop clone would be “gimp”
