Prejudice or discrimination on the basis of a person's technical ability. Assuming that the least tech savvy person must be at fault for the technical difficulty encountered.
Just because I don't hand-code HTML doesn't mean I can't vote you techsist pig!

Turns out it was a kernel panic, grandma. That was techsist of me to assume you broke it with your oldness.

An antonym for a word "Techbro" used in internet discussions.

Instead of inventing new, modern and useless technology, they go back to the past for technology that become useless due to obsolescence.
While wanting internet to become a better place, they lack the desire to have a deeper understanding of issues that internet has, so the best thing they do, is try their hardest to mimic and praise the idea of what old internet was that they made up in their head, usually that idea has nothing in common with how internet really was.

While techbros cluelessly try to move internet technology forward into Web 3.0, Techsiss have a big love for web 1.0, and "vibes" of how internet was in the late 2000s.

Many of them are lib-left, users of Tumblr and Twitter, artists, animators or other people who barely if ever touch code, but alas a thousand of sparkledog-filled neocities websites do exist, so they in fact can code.

As was said above, they have only surface level understanding of internet history, and considering how internet was back then they would probably hate it.
Now if you try to discuss anything about internet, you'll either look like a Techsis or a Techbro, its better to just go and touch grass.

I saw another video where delusional Techsis was yapping about how great old web was, and their understanding of it was nothing more than a bunch of scheenshots of colorfull gif filled personal pages of autistic teenagers.

You talk about internet history and you dont even know what Usesnet is? You are a fucking Techsis STFU and RTFF"

Stealthie 

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"

The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
