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.
@gnomicutterance @blakestacey the new guard trying to reinvent the world with Windows 11, and completely ignoring multiple screen layouts, doesn’t understand that Windows is a workstation OS.
Or maybe they don’t want that market anymore? Which seems short sighted.
My Windows machines have all been skinned to work like XP for 20 years, and sometimes I have to use other people’s computers and I don’t even understand how they get anything done. My start menu is predictable and the items in it are in the same place and with the same keystrokes every day. There’s no ads in it. It doesn’t tell me the weather or the sports scores when I don’t ask for them. My taskbar shows me the names of all the windows I have open. This should all be normal.
