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.

Can I ask a sincere question? whats a tech sociopath apologist, could you demonstrate an example?

Again, im sincerely genuinely asking

[–] froztbyte@awful.systems 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Someone who takes it on themselves to act as apologist for the words/actions of tech sociopaths

Often seen as “weird nerds coming to defense of $x” (such as musk, or in this case the kagi dudebro)

(And then I glanced at your post history and noticed a trend of JAQing off so I now doubt whether you’re sincere in asking)

[–] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Im not sure what JAQing is.

I appreciate your response thanks

Short for Just Asking Questions. Where people ask loaded questions that act as a veneer to their actual statements. If you want to accuse them of the fact they are talking shit, they'll say they're "just skeptical" and "asking questions"

that wasnt my intention. It was simply a phrase I hadn’t heard

[–] Crazazy@feddit.nl 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

that wasn't my intention

Ironically, by saying that you're just doing The Thing again

The Thing in question has an element of intent that the user doesn't exhibit in this thread, or any of their history. Simply asking questions isn't JAQing off.

[–] aio@awful.systems 1 points 10 months ago

Simply asking questions would be SAQing off, which is totally different.

Just asking questions here, but do you think a wolverine would beat a mechabadger?

[–] self@awful.systems 1 points 10 months ago

yes, I’ve seen it
