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)
thereās no way you did that without consulting copilot or at least ChatGPT. thank you sam altman for finally enabling me to capitalize whole words in my editor!
ā¦this just made me wonder what quotient of all these promptfondlers and promptfans are people whoāve just never really been able to express emotion (for whatever reason (there are many possible causes, this aināt a judgement about that)), whoāve found the promptsā effusive supportive āyes, andā-ness to be the first bit of permission they ever got to express
and now my brain hurts because that thought is cursed as fuck
yes, i actually never learned how to capitalize properly, they told me to use capslock and shift, but that makes all the letters come out small still. thanks chatgpt.
my IDE,
notepad.exe, didnāt support capitalizing words until they added copilot to it. so therefore qed editors couldnāt do that without LLMs. computer science is so easy!For a moment I misread your post and had to check notepadplusplus for AI integration. Donāt scare me like that
fortunately, notepad++ hasnāt (yet) enshittified. itās fucking weird we canāt say the same about the original though
Iād argue that you cannot say basic notepad has enshittified, as it always was quite shit. That is why 9 out of 10 dentists recommend notepad++
thereās a difference between ābarebonesā[0] and this shit
[0] - I will grant you that notepad used to be abysmal about handling unicode in the before time, but itās been less-fucked since at least XP or so iirc
