Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid!
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, 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.
weāre looking for a sneerious name for a collaborative design/programming community for non-dickheads, like hacker news but not shit. thread your suggestions here!
The Margaret Hamilton Society
Just to confuse things design a logo that references both Margaret Hamilton from NASA and Margaret Hamilton the Wicked Witch actress. Maybe a woman flying on a NASA rocket-propelled bicycle, but maybe not because the slow and judgey might think thatās calling NASA Hamilton a witch.
Actually referencing a non-technical woman might even help repel HN types.
the more I think about it, the more I like this one too
The MIT alum in me wants to devise some variation on āBuilding 20ā that conveys a ābut without the worse aspects of MIT subcultureā kind of message.
āMIT-style culture but not run by the worst people you knowā is exactly the kind of thing Iād like to convey
e: also, implicitly, without the shit bigotry hiding under the surface that those worst people imbued the culture with

I originally wanted āfreeasinbothpiecesā, which sums up the idea precisely, but five words is a bit much even with camel case
That could be the hostname for the forge instance(s)
Or the backups
Six Double Oh Eww
āDemolishing 20ā
EinstĆ¼rzende Zwanzig
Iām feeling uncreative but itās a shame giggle academy is taken
āpainter newsā could be a nice jab at PGās āHackers & Paintersā
we donāt want to mislead the actual painters
I would gladly take any number of actual painters over some of the programmers Iāve had to deal with contributing to open source projects

oh Iāve heard of that dev - apparently they really like to focus on areas with wide impact! just the sort of dev you want in your team!
has very helpful friends too
speaking of networks, I saw this yesterday and it sure gave me some feelings
āCathedral Centralā
ābikeshed painters clubā comes to mind, but probably also too long
ooh i like ābikeshed paintingā or variants
ābikeshed systemsā maybe? nicely memorable (and matches pattern of current tld) too
hibste.rs
(ārunkā and āGNU/Scrotumā are right out)
GNU/Scrotum is a great name for a lemmy fork, but Richardās copyright lawyers would probably sue me and the settlement terms would involve him eating his foot skin on my couch and leeching off of my wifi from his 2004 laptop for 12-24 months

spider plants are canonical
Name suggestion: Spider Plant Greenhouse
I do like this one
was pretty surprising when the sensible people took over at OSI and FSF got worse and worse
heāll probably draw a significant amount of power from the fact that some of the walls in my house contain GNU utilities running on small Linux systems

Richardās 2004 laptop runs FreeDOS but he find/replaced all instances of āFreeDOSā in the code to āGNU/Hurdā
I heard if you make minor modifications to those but then donāt publish source (along with branding them and dropping license files) then he can take 20d6 psychic damage
Are you sure he limits it to his foot skin?
Play your cards right and you could put him to work like one of those fish that eat dead skin off feet as part of a pedicure.
Apropos of nothing, does Stallman still request access to a parrot? Itād be funny to find him a place to stay with a person whose parrot is trained to talk shit about Stallman. āKWOK! SHUT UP ABOUT HURD!ā
runk sounds it would be the name of a rust variant of troff
Nah itās masturbation in Swedish.
More specifically, āen runkā is analogous to āa wankā, but itās not idiomatic.
wanking = āatt runkaā
I wanked = ājag runkadeā
I had a wank = ājag tog en runkā, non-idiomatic. Youād say ājag runkadeā. If you want to use a noun, ājag drog en trallaā.
so 100% in the tradition of the area of software that thought a good name for its photoshop clone would be āgimpā
fascinating, thanks for mentioning :)
