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.
The lumina saga continues. https://trevorklee.substack.com/p/luminas-legal-threats-and-my-about
TL;DR: Lumina guy sent Trevor a mean letter and Trevor has reworded some things to protect against libel. He still stands by the original blog post.
The orange site has some fairly milquetoast opinions.
Love to give off snakeoil salesman vibes in a weird faux friendly legal threat.
Surprise Aella reference in those HN comments! (well, surprise that one commenter noted āthe Bay Areaās most overrated escortā, and a replier directly inferred it was her)
Now I wonder if thereās an app rating Bay Area escortsā¦
Itās a well recognized rule that every time Lumina comes up, someone has to mention that Aella is connected to the project. Then, someone must make a joke about Lumina adding anti-toothbrushing to her anti-showering arsenal. HN hasnāt caught up to the last bit yet.
Tedium and logorrhea in the substack comments, as intended. I wonder how often people on LW use āink spilledā and ācolumn inchesā to describe themselves.
lol @ this austin chen guy, who seems to be an investor in Lumina, as well as a user of the project going like ādude just get on the phone with him, Iām sure he totally wonāt corner you with threats and such, heās a great guy I swear bro!ā
