Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending 21st September 2025 - awful.systems
awful.systems
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. (Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)

      Okay, let’s see what the dumbshits are trying to sell this time

      (This took longer than I’d liked, because copy-paste is pretty laggy on Cloudflare’s shit-ass page)

      Built for the rise of agents and machines, NET Dollar will enable seamless, automated transactions without human intervention.

      “Agents” are automatic data breach machines, letting them repeat that time they stole vibe-coders’ crypto on a larger scale is a terrible idea

      The rise of autonomous agents and connected devices is creating a new economic paradigm

      Autonomous agents don’t exist, and the only “new economic paradigm” being made is one where tech is completely unmoored from reality

      These systems need a reliable medium of exchange that can handle high-frequency, automated transactions without human intervention.

      See my previous point

      Rules, triggers, and workflows can be embedded directly into payments, making them smarter and adaptable.

      Went so well for Wolf Game, didn’t it?

      NET Dollar will work across networks and ecosystems, enabling frictionless, global commerce.

      And by “frictionless, global commerce”, I presume they mean “sanctions evasion and ransomware”

      Every coin will be fully collateralized by a U.S. dollar, ensuring transparency, reliability, and price stability.

      Just like Tether! /s

      NET Dollar will be made available soon.

      How about never.
