I guess ideally we should have an open standard for software “storefronts” that should allow for multiple stores to be plugged into the same app.

could you give me some examples of that common usage?

it does involve some judgement against said preachiness, I guess I see that

Given the state of the world, and the anti-elitist sentiment going around, the fact that there aren’t genuinely leftist parties getting 70+ percent of the vote in a lot of countries, is quite amazing.

Part of the reason for that, is the academization of the left. One of the problems that has brought with it, is a nitpicky focus on the correct use of language.

If we are to succeed, the vast majority of leftist will necessarily have to be people without the right university degrees, or who do not hang out in the kinds of circles where they get socialized into acceptable language.

Going all fire and brimstone because someone uses a bad word, often quite innocently, is an effective way to come off as self-righteous and preachy. Acting like that is the most important part of politics, is a good way to come off as superficial.

There’s a reason why conservative strategists grab on to this and amplify it – because they know that this kills the left. The left does not work if it is not broad and populist.

I’m not saying we shouldn’t all try to be considerate or strategic with how we use language - but save the fire and brimstone for the elites and the material issues.

The fact that you believe that there’s a middle ground where the definition isn’t an attack on minorities

What I believe is that this is what the word means to a lot of people. We might want to change that, but not like this - and quite frankly, we have much bigger issues to deal with

Alternatively, as I wrote: in some places, the word “woke” has taken on the role of terms like “social justice warrior” and “political correctness” - i.e. in describing a self-righteous, superficial, performative and preachy kind of style - and he wants to distance himself from that style.

yep, it’s great to have a progressive message, but a progressive message is not an easy-button - you still have to do the hard work of making good art

because you are now playing into the toxic norms that already exist’

how? I don’t get it.

Even if your best option is to vote for postponing the day leftists start getting hauled off to camps, you should still vote. Activism is harder when you’re in a mega prison.

LOL no, “woke” is anything that acknowledges LGBT+ individuals exist

…so the guy who directed a game where you can have a medieval gay romance, does not acknowledge that LGBT+ individuals exist?

So what should be the word we use for “media that depicts positive social ideologies?” Apparently “woke” includes the definition “while being super preachy about it.”

For a lot of people it does, yeah. I don’t know if the best solution is to run away from the word, though – like you say, it’s good to have a word for this stuff, and a different word is just as susceptible to being tainted by conservative strategists.

sry

In a lot of places, not just far-right assholes, the word “woke” has taken on the role of terms like “social justice warrior” and “political correctness” - i.e. in describing a self-righteous, superficial, performative and preachy kind of style.

Yes, that is not what the word “originally” meant, yes it is partially the result of right wing propaganda, yes “political correctness” and “sjw” have similar issues, but it is still a real thing.

What the man seems to me to be trying to say is that their goal was to do a medieval gay romance in a way that was not preachy or superficial – is that not good? Isn’t there a bit too much token representation and pinkwashing going on?

they are called unions, highly recommend

This is part of how wealth concentrates in countries without a welfare state. The property market becomes more and more unavailable for young people, and older people have to sell their homes to afford proper care.

thanks, looks like Germany is leading the charge to make some standards for this stuff - as it is, Norwegian authorities recommend getting an electrician to make sure everything is safe

Cool, I’ve been wondering if something like that existed. Can you recommend any brands or search terms I could use to find out more?

how was I holding on to three engineers in the first place? I only have two hands

given his sense of humor, I’m surprised that the CHAD stack doesn’t use Dlang for the back-end
