    ‘nerds taking over the world’ no it was finance with techbros taking over the world. If nerds had taken over there would be a lot more open source and we wouldn’t all be familiar with the word ‘enshitiffication’.

    One of the most famous techbros wants people to print out code and has trouble running a python script.

    E: that these fucks can play with their venture capital shit while Real Tech Nerds(tm, do not steal!) like Foone have to ask for donations is pretty terrible. (Foone is a fun account to follow if you like somebody who takes old hardware and stuff apart in fun ways).

    E: related skeet “1980s techies: Imagine a World Wide Web where all human knowledge can be shared and accessed by everyone. 2020s techbros: We will steal every word you’ve ever shared, every artwork you’ve ever displayed, lock them away in datasets without your permission, then sell them all back to you, but shite.”
