Some of the comments on that article made me realise I'm a bit out of the loop: what makes Asahi linux "woke"?
It is sad though that there is so much drama around linux development. It's easy for me to say this, but I do think it's important that there is a switch to a newer language like Rust away from C eventually.
What the actual fuck are you on about? This is a technical argument about whether rust should be allowed innthe Linux kernel and the impact of that decision on devs, you absolute troglodyte.
I assumed they were trying to explain
So what?
I don't think there is a "what" - he was just explaining the wokeness.
The explanation came out as aggressive in a way that antagonizes the Asahi maintainers.
Usually people who explain "woke" in such a manner seem to be the types who are actively hostile to LGBTQ+. There are a few LGBTQ+ people who do make it their entire identity instead of one facet of themselves and I understand how annoying that can be, but at this point I'm a lot less likely to believe "this is someone who turns 'How is the weather today?' with a stranger into a trans rights discussion" and more likely to believe "this person just hates trans people and is trying to frame the trans person poorly so I resent the trans person and not them."
Sounds like you've got 🎶 hangups🎶
Is this a meme or something?
No. I'm calling you out for having obvious prejudices that you don't seem to have acknowledged.
That group, as the title suggests, excludes trans people, like you did with your reference to "LGB".
That group is a hate group and you should be concerned if your opinion overlaps with theirs.
Be less of a TERF.
I 100% agree with you, and my apologies if I came off as hateful, I really don't think I am, but my problems are only with the people who make it their entire identity as you say, they are just exhausting humans in general and I don't really care how they want to identify or whatever, I would pose the same arguments to people of any persuasion if there was a sizeable number of them doing it.
That's not a real apology. Be contrite -- what will you change in your life, going forward, to be less hateful?
I don't consider myself hateful in the first place so I'm not aware of anything that needs changing, but I'm open to constructive criticism.
The downvotes are kind of a proof of what you were talking about. So quick to try to censor your response. Did they even catch the question “what makes it woke?”
And then you downvote me for what? They were just explaining something. Y’all really just downvote anything you don’t like & that doesn’t cater to you? That seems dangerously close to a Trump Administration in a different costume.
