These might become a thing in the US when some vapid influencer acts smug toward ‘dirty people’ who can’t afford one.

“Howdy-doodily-do!”

Snake: Man, Windows SUCKS.

Lemming: You should switch to-- I’m dead, aren’t I.

The last guy we want promoting good things. He will curse them with his waxy Elder Things notions.

Nobody wants Clippy OS, Microsoft. Good part is, they are edging more people to Linux.

There are so many users on both that exclusively (or nearly exclusively) contribute “gotcha” replies only. Never an original thought or comment. They only want to “call out” others. Sniper-camper mentality. You can easily see it in their histories. I block them aggressively.

Dumb. One of the few things LLMs are good at is correcting spelling. That’s a lot of effort for an ineffective “poison”.

Yup. Have had a few coworkers exactly like that. Have tried to deal with them in various ways, but it’s always tricky. Especially if they are the “popular person” in the office.

Another variant is the jackass who walks in and sees others working on something, acts angry that they are “doing it all wrong” then huffs out without actually pitching in. Had a coworker who consistently did this BS to try to cover his own inadequacies and tardiness. Was so happy when the boss fired that fucker.

I’m not on X or FB, and while I do have a “mandatory” LinkedIn account, I never post anything. No future healthcare for me, I reckon.

Tagging is such a nice feature. I used to do it all the time on reddit (many years ago).

Fair, but I did try for a while. Lemmy has a lot of “snipers” who don’t contribute anything more than condescending AKSHUALLY “corrections” or pure snark. You go into their history and that is 90% of what you see. I have blocked several. I think it’s leftover baggage and trauma from reddit. (I don’t consider your meme reply to be a snipe, hopefully that was not implied.)

The lack of active niche communities is frustrating.

I speculate it’s mostly Ouroboros style funding and phony metrics. Bots selling “engagement” to other bots is pretty profitable, I guess. At least for now. The only person I know who still openly uses reddit is an obnoxious drunk white woman in her 60s.

“I get my socializing exclusively at work. I actually enjoy meetings that could have been an email.”

MS with that “hello, fellow kids” energy.

And if you confess suicidal ideation in the US, the authorities rush in to “help” you by taking away your agency and giving you even more crippling debt.

I wince whenever people trip over their keyboards to post those “helpful” 800 hotline numbers. Most of them have good intentions, but the end result is never about really helping the person. It’s about liability coverage and enabling the system to extract maximum value.

Super intelligent compared to what? Earthworms? They aerate the soil. We fill it with toxic forever chemicals. Humans are dumb AF.

The meme I keep seeing in regards to nVidia and the LLMs Ouroboros structure is: Company A pays Company B $100 to dig a hole. Company B pays Company A $100 to fill it back up. Both report $100 of “revenue”.

If you plan on revenge, dig two holes: One for the witness and one for the poor cyclist just trying to get to work.
