I recently saw a post on Twitter that was an ad for a newsletter called TLDR. The content is specifically not about politics or sports. I’ve been signed up for it now for a couple of months. It covers a lot of tech-related news, some science articles, and a lot of developer news about various utilities, along with links to Github for some things. I’ve enjoyed the content so far, and have actually gotten some use out of a few of the GIthub links.
Of course, in the comments on the Twitter post, there had to be some people who are calling it trash, or some how blaming it for not covering politics, like if it’s not covering left wing politics, then it’s right wing garbage. And the people complaining about it and calling it trash of course haven’t signed up for it and have absolutely no idea of the content. And yet somehow IT’S BAD AND MUST BE SMASHED.
One person was like “Stop advertising on this platform!”, as if he gets to determine what is allowed for everyone else. Some people are just so fucking entitled.
Someone actually said it’s impossible to separate politics from tech news. What kind of insanity is that?!? I mean, they list links to Github projects for fuck sake.
Like imagine: Newsletter: “Click this link to check out a new command line utility” Inane response: “YOU ASSHOLES!!! HOW DOES THAT RESOLVE RACIAL DISPARITY!?!”
I don’t get it. Some people seem to need to find offense at everything. It’s a fucking newsletter, you don’t have to sign the fuck up if you don’t want to. No one is forcing this content down your throat.
And how the fuck can you call something trash when you don’t even know what it is about?!?
I used to think it was just right wing nut jobs that were the intellectually challenged bunch, but these days, left wing mobs are acting just as irrationally.
