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 youā€™ll 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 cutā€™nā€™paste it into its own post ā€” thereā€™s no quota for posting and the bar really isnā€™t that high.

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many ā€œesotericā€ right wing freaks, but thereā€™s no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iā€™m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged ā€œculture criticsā€ who write about everything but understand nothing. Iā€™m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyā€™re inescapable at this point, yet I donā€™t see them mocked (as much as they should be)

Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnā€™t be surgeons because they didnā€™t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canā€™t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

    i ā€¦ have no idea whatsoever what the use case is here ā€¦ you make the chatbot generate the code instead of cloning the repo? or itā€™s like generating an API that doesnā€™t work or something?

      Think it is an attempt to make it easier to feed somebodies work into a LLM. So you know, stealing.

        Yeah it just collates everything in the repo into a single text file so you can upload that to the shit machine

          fuckingā€¦ thatā€™s all? some shit you can do moments after learning about the GitHub API for the first time? and I shouldnā€™t be surprised, but this is the code that people were fellating in the Twitter comments and/or using to advertise their own shitware?

          Been waiting for this since i opened my github account. šŸ™šŸ¼

          fucker, how are you like this?
