Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful youāll near-instantly regret.
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 ā 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.
There is a thing in crypto called āux/accā which, from what I can fathom, is a new way to avoid thinking about why it isnāt being adopted
crypto/blockchain UX quality is strongly correlated with risk of getting all your tokens stolen.
Iāve written about this a few times, like this one from https://fasterandworse.com/known-purpose-and-trusted-potential/ but I think youāve summed it up perfectly
you saw my crypto rant from 2021 right?
the problem is when you treat a pile of wires on a lab bench as a product, not a demo. Generative AI is cool demos all the way down.
ux/acc is the noise you make after eating something that you really shouldnāt have eaten
ux/acc is the sound of a cat coughing up a hairball
sometimes Iām trying to decide whether to pay for a bagel with credit or ethereum, and I go with credit because itās got nice bridges, chain abstraction protocols and cross-L2 UX
15 years to realize their UIs might be bad. How many years until they realize UI and system design (including protocols, backend, etc) are inextricably linked?
If your turds are lovingly polished by highly trained artisans, theyāre still shit.
