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.
(Semi-obligatory thanks to @dgerard for starting this)
Iām vaguely remembering this and not sure where to look for confirmation, but wasnāt Luke-Jr the bitcoin maintainer who put his foot down and blocked a design change that wouldāve made bitcoin much more efficient because it would have made it inconvenient for him to run a full node on a slow Florida residential cable internet connection?
thatās weird, Iāve known so many guys whose whole personality is bong bitcoin
he also got verry angy when bitcoin ordinals were a thing for like two months
he used to distribute a Bitcoin client that censored addresses belonging to an early gambling service, people were mad
heās fractally weird
the lack of self-awareness is definitely something
Yes he led the charge against the ābitcoin maxisā who wanted to increase the actual block size to contain more info. (this later became Bitcoin Cash). We had to endure stuff like āUASFā (user activated soft fork) for complicated reasons no-one can explain now.
