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 cutānāpaste it into its own post, thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
Because I feel like picking on him again: https://daringfireball.net/linked/2024/04/02/google-podcasts
The only Google services I use are YouTube, Google Search, Gmail, YT Studio, Chrome, and Google Keep. Oh, and the Nest app.
Itās rather glorious living a nearly Google-free digital life.
Okay, but apart from YouTube, Google Search, Gmail, YT Studio, Chrome, Google Keep and Nest, what have the Romans ever done for us?
I havenāt been bitten by Google killing an app or service since Google Reader, because I never again trusted them. I suppose this might be a lot more difficult for Android users, but I honestly donāt even remember the last time I added a new Google app or service to the set of tools I rely upon.
yeah he sure as fuck wonāt be bitten by trusting anything Google made after Reader, like say their thermostats that are embedded into his house (which he says donāt count because ???)
also:
YouTube, Google Search, Gmail, Chrome
when your Google-free life includes all of their major products plus shit you can absolutely do without like Keep and Nest
also also, because I keep fucking looking at it and getting mad:
I suppose this might be a lot more difficult for Android users
imagine being this fucking shitty about having bought an iPhone and being above the age of 13
I have a couple of Android devices and even with Android added to my list of Google products, Iām pretty sure I use fewer than Gruber.
itās very inconvenient but Iāve managed to mostly de-google my couple of Android devices where practical ā and there is a noticeable performance benefit to running without google play services, using Firefox, and installing simpler open source odroid apps instead of ad-filled play store ones, at least for the older tablets I recycle into purpose-specific computing devices
gruber, meanwhile, goes out of his way to replace safari with chrome on his Apple devices and then brags about being google-free on his blog
Iām currently in the position of both having gotten as much google shit out of my life as possible, and also needing to track it fairly extensively for a work context (because 95%+ of our userbase is low- and midrange android)
I cannot say āfuck google and all they doā enough times to emphasise how this experience really makes me feel
it absolutely sucks to be forced to use and develop for Google software at work (seriously, what in the fuck is wrong with Googleās docs and APIs?)
if thereās a silver lining, itās that being forced to be intimately familiar with googleās garbage for work has made me a lot more eager to eliminate as much of it from my personal life as I can
when youāre such a Daring Fireball that you continue to use all of googleās products even when good alternatives are available, but insist youāre making a point by boycotting google
While I love a good Gruber-sneer, he does qualify each existing choice extensively. I donāt find the post as hypocritical as the edited extract would imply.
His gratuitous dumping on Android users is sneer-worthy though.
I have got to be honest, the justifications in the full post are half the reason why Iām sneering so hard. itās possible Iāve got some anger left over from how much it fucking sucks to degoogle
Ugh, I keep waiting for Florisboard or AnySoftKey to get good enough that I can replace google keyboard on my phone, itās very frustrating. Iāve basically given up on dropping gmail. I think thatās all thatās left of google for me.
the only google service i use is institutional gmail. i got myself a pixel, but itās degoogled. heās not even trying

Thatās the markdown guy, right? Goddamn whatās with these nerdbros who got popular of one thing and then becoming insufferable, if not actively reactionary shits?

Scott Aaronson: āOpen Letter to Anti-Zionists on Twitterā
Posting here rather than in a separate thread because Iām probably the only one who rememembers him from the old /r/sneerclub days, but heās an endlessly fascinating figure to me - his ability to view literally every possible scenario through the lens of āpoor innocent little smol-bean Scott just wants to discuss things rationally, but is persecuted by his ontologically evil foes and their self-righteous dupesā - doesnāt matter if itās feminists objecting to his older incel-y posts, Sneer Club dunking on him, cops arresting him for stealing from an airport store or leftists not being fans of the genocide he supportsā¦ He must always be the victim. His enemies must always be unreasonable and motivated by hatred of him, specifically.
And now, maybe, I can at last go back to happier topics, like how to prevent the destruction of the world by AI.
looks like he did a shit job in this area https://www.972mag.com/lavender-ai-israeli-army-gaza/
Whatās he referring to when he says heās most famous for something about confronting radical feminists with his personal issues?
my god, you missed out on that?
here is way too much background reading!
- commenter on Shtetl-Optimized talks about the rapey ānice guysā she suffered at college
- Scott Aa takes this as a brutal personal attack on him
- Laurie Penny tries to be nice about it
- Amanda Marcotte? not so nice about it
- Scott Alexander weighs in with one zillion words, unreadable, so relentlessly awful that Scott demands readers not form an opinion of him based on a thousands of words essay he worked hard on and chose to publish
- Elizabeth Sandifer with the correct and readable opinion of this bilge (also long, but worth it)
Donāt forget how Arthur Chu wrote a response grounded in empathy, and Aaronson decided that Chu wants him dead. Really.
commenter on Shtetl-Optimized talks about the rapey ānice guysā she suffered at college
Not just that, but one of very few feminist commenters in an aggressively anti-feminist comments section on a blogpost about how itās wrong that MIT pulled Walter Lewinās online lecture videos after he was accused of sexually harrassing a student. Scott Aaronson, Friend To All Women, felt no need to intervene as his fans trashed the very notion of online sexual harrassment - only when a woman made an uncharitable remark about nerd men.
just looked the guy up. Heās handsome. He literally looks like Jerry Seinfeld (actually, he looks even more like Pablo Schreiber who played Nicky Sobotka in The Wire). What a god damned twat. (Not that being attractive makes any of his arguments any worse than they already are)
He managed to attract and keep a wife and have kids with her and still talks like the most rancid incel.
The title of the blog (āShtetl-Optimizedā) refers to his belief that he would have been happier in a traditional shtetl where the kindly village elders would assign a wife for him.
Yeah that always gets me, and he picked that name fully knowing what it meant. It isnāt like the meaning of it has changed over time. (Like my now unfortunate nickname, which prob gets me tagged nowadays as a rightwinger, due to the weird shit they had with budweiser, and before that it got me tagged at a rabid leftwinger because of āsoyā. Nevermind that it predates all that, and even the bodybuilders/weightlifters misreading the science and causing the whole anti-soy mania, and it is just a reference to 90ās shadowrun. I feel this a lot and then I ignore it because I figure most people are not this online to even notice).
Holy shit you just sent me down a rabbit hole. How can these people be so terrible. Existing in their spaces must be like constantly smelling faintly a rotting corpse but not being able to quite place where itās coming from.

Esperanto-pushing F-droid forum poster goes ballistic when maintainer explains the language canāt be added:
Why you simple donāt start learning Esperanto? Why should the whole world learn your stupid and illogical* language? Is F-Droid project international or only for english people?
(via this 404 media post)
I honestly did not know there were axe-crazy Esperanto fans online.
I honestly did not know there were axe-crazy Esperanto fans online.
Oh, there are always those.
These kind of speakers can be found also offline. Itās funny they are the result on one hand of the fondness to our little language and the reactions towards it by speakers of other languages. Esperanto gets a shitload of bad reputation and the resistance to it then creates such personalities.
In some sense they rightfully act like they act.
Funny that this thread re-appeared during the xz āscandalā. I had a little bit of fun regarding it, when it initially appeared in the f-droid forum.
Yeah I mean I shouldnāt be surprised really. Iām more surprised it took me so long to realize they were around. If nothing else Esperanto seems to have been losing mindshare to other conlangs like Toki Pona.
klingon still the all time fave
āKlingon Speakers Now Outnumber Navajo Speakersā (The Onion, 1999)
I donāt know if it really is losing mindshare. Toki Pona is really popular among a very loud minority.
On one hand these people just may be learning it, because itās an interesting conlang, nothing against that. Learn whatever language you like.
Then the loud part of the Toki Pona community learn it partially because they think itās morally superior to other eurocentric conlangs like Esperanto. And those will eagerly say to you, that Toki Pona is the best language ever. So maybe is the perception that Esperanto is losing mindshare, because of Toki Pona, just a result of working propaganda by that very loud minority.
Esperanto is also in general not a very popular language, as its normally compared to English for its audacity to become a lingua franca. Still, to my knowledge itās still the largest constructed language community. Toki Pona or other languages need to get to that level of sophistication which Esperanto already aquired during 136 years of its existence.
I could barely learn a 3rd language (French) so the idea of trying to learn one more is daunting, even if Esperanto is designed to be easy to learn.
so the idea of trying to learn one more is daunting, even if Esperanto is designed to be easy to learn.
Even that would people contest. For me it was easier to learn and I think there things in the language, which make it easier to learn. BUT that idea that itās truly universal āeasierā is often criticized and doubted. Which leaves me with a disappointing āmaybeā with a slight tilt to āitās easierā, so āmaybe itās easier?ā.
I could barely learn a 3rd language (French) so the idea
If we keep in the idea set of how Esperanto came about, then the idea was to learn two to three languages and be a world citizen afterwards. Two languages, because that would be your mother tongue and Esperanto and for three languages that would be your mother tongue, the language of your region like for cultural heritage reasons and Esperanto to be a world citizen.
I learnt Esperanto after i learnt English in school. Itās my third language and I belong to those who got afterwards more confident, that I could acquire another language by myself. So for some people itās easier to learn and it brings them then the confidence, that when they find motivation to learn a specific new language, that they could do that.
I myself am still stuck with three languages, because I did not had a strong motivation to learn an additional language. There are too much languages and there are too much conflicting incentives to learn one over another. Wanna understand China? Learn Mandarin! Learn one of the other big languages in the world for financial progress! Then learn Spanish! Be supportive of the deaf community! Then learn one of the many dialects of sign language!

Why is it always eugenics and euthanasia with these chucklefucks? The idea of exterminating large amounts of humans seems to tickle something in some peopleās brains.
Never heard of the dude, but despite writing a 6 part series entitled āImagining Elon Muskās Million-Person Mars Colony ā The greatest thought experiment of all timeā has has not gotten the new party line from Dear Leader that the most pressing issue is the catastrophic lack of (white) babies rather than too many people.
OTOH porque no los dos? Force women in the āfirst worldā to have kids, euthanize all the brown people.
edit people killed at or around 60 is a minor plot point in the pretty terrible Asimov novel Pebble in the Sky, where it is not seen as a Good Thing.
Itās bizarre to me that the articles starts out arguing that this is necessary for environmental reasons, then shifts to egalitarianism (spread wealth from the global north to the south), before landing on productivity. A complete scattershot argument whose only constant is a desire to euthanize the old, with only the EO Wilson connection for any clue as to why he came to this conclusion.
As for fiction, I think you could name probably quite a few stories that feature this kind of mandatory maximum lifespan, almost always as an obvious signpost that the government is cruel.

(PDF) The Role of Blockchain in 6G: Challenges, Opportunities, and Research Directions.
So this buzzword laden document was published by the IEEE. As far as I can tell it doesnāt actually say much besides a breathless stream-of-consciousness about how blockchain and AI will make everything amazing and is terribly relevant to wireless communication protocols because reasons.
Butā¦ just read it. If you can make it to the end without your brain oozing out of your ears then you win the grand prize!
āExtreme edgeā: 6G networks need to facilitate the spatial translation of many core services from the cloud to the edge networks for achieving extremely low latency communications and instant networks. The trustworthy coordination and transparent resource bookkeeping can be attained with blockchains in these systems [20].
In 4G, AI was not yet applied, while in 5G there is already a limited partial use. We expect a much deeper integration of AI on all levels of the 6G network communications with the ultimate goal to make our society super smart, super efficient and more green.
boy oh boy the IEEE has fallen pretty fucking far hasnāt it
Internet of Everything (IoE)
The IoE is more general than IoT and has the purpose to seamlessly connect in an intelligent way people, processes, data and things [27]. It is expected that the IoE will re- invent business processes and business models. First, processes are optimized and automatized thanks to digital technology. Second, due to the usage of digital technology, new business models in different industries become possible. For instance, Nike is now also entering the market of healthcare via the introduction of its smart cloths and shoes.
the IoE is defined as the internet of things but more so. fucking brilliant. I canāt wait to use digital technology in my industry. also I canāt wait for Nike to deny my insurance claim because my shoes decided I was too active to be sick.
The role of the blockchain in this domain will mainly be to make the decision process of the machine learning methods more understandable and coherent as all the underlying elements on which the decisions are made can be traced back.
something tells me the only reason this piece of shit was published was to reputation wash uncited claims like this one. this one specifically is a horseshit claim weāve seen before, earlier in the generative AI hype cycle ā itās the nonsensical idea that a blockchain could somehow be used to add a verification and attribution layer to an LLMās training data set
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV): UAVs or drones will also present an important part in 6G as high-data-rate wireless connectivity will be required. Here, blockchain can play a major role to contribute to the protection of the security and privacy of the drones and the thereby collected information [32]. Li et al. [33] also illustrate the significance of 5G in UAV context. IBM has even filed a blockchain patent to address drone fleet security.
There are several blockchain based application for drones. First of all, the blockchain technology can help to arrange identity management. Next, also air traffic management can be arranged in a secure, accurate and efficient way. Finally, insurance companies can use the stored records in case of events or disputes.
thereās a bunch of points in this document where the writing goes from the style of a confused undergrad assistant to whatās almost definitely an LLM fabricating shit. fucking behold: the blockchain will somehow secure the communication link with your UAV and authenticate it with air traffic control (what? also, these are things that existing cryptosystems are good at that blockchains specifically are fucking worthless for) and itāll also help with yourā¦ drone insuranceā¦?
all of this is almost certainly an LLM generating bullshit that sounds drone-related
finally, they didnāt even finish the conclusion paragraph:
An exponential growth of demand anticipated for the 6G telecommunication in the information era, by 2030. The role of blockchain to eliminate limitations foreseen with the future massive demands and the the contribution to escalate the service values in telecommunication identified in the paper. The future research directions also presented in the paper.
what do these words mean? is this what research is now?
just ran into this gem too: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9205201
itās maddening how much marketing and outright scifantasy are being washed through reputable outlets under the veneer of research and/or technical writing
I smell bullshit written by spicy autocomplete, or at the very least it has LLM drivel pasted into it in various places.
In Europe, GDPR directives are important drivers which will become more stringent in the coming years. Better decentralization will enable higher security especially in terms of availability for this critical domain.
Lol what? The EPRS has quite unambiguously stated that there are multiple points of tension between blockchain tech and the GDPR, and that ādecentralization == securityā is a false assumption for various reasons. Thereās also the elephant in the room that every person maintains the right to all copies of their data at all times (mainly articles 16 and 17 GDPR), which is a problem if it exists in an uneditable distributed ledger.
The conclusion of that study was, and I quote, āthat it is not possible to assess the compatibility between āthe blockchainā and EU data protection lawā, and the only reason why it even might be compatible is mainly because of āthe uncertain definition of āerasureā in Article 17 GDPRā. But even then they only admit that there could by hypothetical beneficial use cases but fail to find any with current blockchain tech.
those bits of the GDPR were not written with blockchain in mind at all. However, I am reliably informed that the authors were quite delighted to find theyād preemptively made it actionably pretty much illegal to put PD on a blockchain

I donāt understand the logic behind the playlists in nightclubs.
(my emphasis)
thatās your problem right there bud
As somebody who amateur DJāed (badly, very badly I must add, Iām not suddenly cool, more the reverse):
I donāt understand the logic behind the playlists in nightclubs. IMO, the choice of music is often quite bad, it leans heavily towards repetitive EDM, the playlists could consist of far more interesting music
This is such a revealing thing. And the theorizing after it on why bars do this is even more revealing (he could have just asked). But yeah people donāt go to bars for interesting new music, they come for the socializing, which is a lot easier if everybody can dance along with the music, or just nod along with it if it is more a socializing place. Sometimes there also isnāt a plan but just āwe should get a DJā.
The whole list is a collection of āI have no empathy and I also never thought about asking people about these thingsā btw. I really hope this is a teenager.
