You're so unuseful!

Does one of the two sentences above have a more pejorative meaning than the other?

Thank you in advance
I think it's not a good idea to compare these words. Let's compare "useful and useless". You would say they are opposites. Indeed they are. As to "unuseful and useless", I would say not useful instead of unuseful.Well, they are synonyms.
