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 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.

Lots of things by монеточка, such as Русский ковчег, for pure outright fun jams.
I have alllllll kinds. Being able to share music in an easy manner is actually a fucking disaster of a problem in recent years. Just try to copy a fucking track name out of something like Spotify or Apple Music.
It’s a problem I want to solve.
my playlist for this weekend is growing!
oh absolutely same, it’s fucking ridiculous how hard it is to share music in any way that doesn’t immediately tie you to a streaming service your friends might not have. I’d really like a web service that’d take a Spotify/Apple Music/whatever share link or a song or album title and output a link to a page that’d just link that song’s data on MusicBrainz and have a bunch of buttons to listen to it on whatever service or the best match on YouTube. I’ve been tempted so many times to create this
exactly that is one of the properties I want to have in my thing, yeah
(what fucking sucks is that Last.fm also used to fill this niche, before they too ramped up on being fucking databroker)
(christ I miss the internet of 10~15y ago)
Songwhip kinda does that, but you need to start with a song or artist or album name, it can’t convert specific Spotify URLs. And it doesn’t link MusicBrainz for some reason.
Also it’s closed-source so I have no real idea what happens behind the scenes.

All of this but especially track 2 which makes a remarkably accurate audio representation of what medicating adhd feels like: https://circadianrhythmsrecs.bandcamp.com/album/marwa
https://badafrorecords.bandcamp.com/album/our-days-mind-the-tyme whole album for the feel of it in aggregate. I stumbled across it by hearing track 10 first
