Need to make a primal scream without gathering 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 facts of 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.

    we have internal confirmation that the rabbit team is aware of this leaking of api keys and have chosen to ignore it. the api keys continue to be valid as of writing.

    but of course. rabbitā€™s done pretending they give a fuck now that their shit flopped (not that they gave much of a fuck to begin with)

          fucking amazing. like, I shouldnā€™t be surprised they deployed a bunch of embedded devices without a sensible way to rotate keys OTA, but itā€™s always fun to watch a circus act

            and here I am building up a fucking pile of infra in advance of deployment of boards for exactly this reason

            itā€™s almost like, irunno, maybe you could say Iā€™ve thought this through! only maybe tho. Iā€™m not backed by decamillions+ vc dollaridoos, so who can tell whether I know what Iā€™m doing, amirite

                thatā€™s what makes it even better - from the ā€œself-custody of keys!!! your own credentials! v v v v v importants!ā€ world, these dipshits still had no clue

                just truly awe-inspiringly terrible
