Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

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 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.

orbstack 1.6.4:

Debug Shell: AI-powered package install suggestions for commands

in the app upgrade popup it's just bare text. in the documentation for debug shell there's no reference. in the release notes feed it's the same bare text

I've already sent feedback asking for more information about it, but just ..... what? I mean there's that annoying(-to-me) ubuntu shell hook that goes "oh hey $binary not found, try installing $pkg!" already, and that's been out for years, but what?

if/when I hear more I'll post comment I guess. in the meantime consider me fucking bewildered.

I’m pretty sure this is just a handy convenience around launching another container that has debug tools in all the same namespaces (network, pid, user, filesystem, …) as the other. Kubernetes has a similar thing and it’s pretty handy.

Edit: oooooh wait, I misread your entire comment: you were referring to the ai-powered install instructions. Oops, and yep, that is a big yikes. Wow.

I'm also glad to see that whatever incremental improvements have been made the system is still unable to consistently do hands.

Scott: 'left thought' okayyy

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

tangent: these screencaps are from scott? he doesn't mention long acting injectable antipsychotics (one shot every 2-4 weeks or so, no pills needed; needs consent ofc, result is vastly increased compliance) is that not a thing over there?

e: he mentions it but doesn't discuss it for whatever reason

Depot injections are ‘leftism’ it seems.

"disorderly cities are required by the state religion"

When they are absolutely sure the tweet will not escape containment, they will just take assumptions like "a certain percentage of people has incurable Criminal Mind" as given and go from there.

that twitter account is absolutely something

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (2 children)

looks at profile 'adorable and harmless' and then 2 tweets later, turns out they are racist.

I'm always shocked to see someone to Milkshake Duck themselves this hard within a single post.
