Want to wade into the sandy surf of the abyss? 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 you’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 cut’n’paste it into its own post — there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high.

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)

Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)

      Nice find. There are specific reasons why this patchset won’t be merged as-is and I suspect that they’re all process issues:

      • Bad memory management from Samsung not developing in the open
      • Proprietary configuration for V4L2 video devices from Samsung not developing with modern V4L2 in mind
      • Lack of V4L2 compliance report from Samsung developing against an internal testbed and not developing with V4L2’s preferred process
      • Lack of firmware because Samsung wants to maintain IP rights

      Using generative tooling is a problem, but so is being stuck in 2011. Linux doesn’t permit this sort of code dump.
