For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

Jailbreaking a PS3 is still a huge pain in the rear end. Maybe he should use his brain genius to fix that first. :smugdog:

I keep seeing the "woke" stuff a lot in American media. Like, A LOT. It seems to be a huge topic of debate in your country and one I barely hear about in my own.

What is it about? What is it about the woke stuff they dislike and how does it affect their lives so strongly? Can someone just break it down neatly

To be fair, that's easy to measure. Count the number of times a tweet was viewed for all tweets that are marked as hate speech. The reason it's down of course is because they're not marking hate speech anymore.

Not so sure the slow down was from culture, but more from kids being brought up on tablets and phones. Back in the late 90s/2000s everyone jumped into IT, they all had computers at home, they geeked out on it. Today many people graduating high school have never touched a keyboard,

Is that actually a thing? I teach high school in Europe and it is literally baked into every curriculum that they’d have a lap top and they get a license for Microsoft Office and whatever software the school uses for math and data management and media classes which they are required to install and operate (with instruction on these being part of intro courses).

Like actual programming classes are only elective at the high school level, but there is a baseline of IT work that is mandatory for any high school diploma. I can’t even imagine a modern high school degree that could be done without it.

They dislike minorities.

I could elaborate but that is the sum of it, same for whatever other boogeyman you may have encountered, like “political correctness,” “groomers,” “economic anxiety,” “SJW,” “CRT,” et cetera.

They build a whole big mythology about why the new hot thing is bad and different but they’re all just long form admissions that they are angry that women/blacks/poors/queers are treated as though they’re human when only mediocre white dudes should be granted any rights.

But to actually answer your question, when the right doesn't like something out of straight bigotry but can't say it, it's "woke". It's just the right's preferred dog whistle as of right now.

Black mermaids? woke
Gay sitcoms? woke
Pronouns? woke
Mosque in my city? woke
Teaching kids slavery is bad? woke

etc.

Full self driving tech is here - but it won't stop running over black people, so those woke SJWs won't let us release it!

Related to this, I'm really curious about what kind of complete imbecile decided that it would be a good idea to completely shun LIDAR and just assume they can program their way into making cameras work. Since this is an Elon company and its clear now that he's a loving idiot with no empathy, I'm wondering if maybe his engineers and lawyers wanted to use LIDAR as a backup but maybe this was one of the few times Elon broke free of containment by his Elon-wranglers and insisted they go without.

I guess maybe it might make sense from a ruthless capitalism context if you think you can just budget for the legal cost of killing people until you can finally figure out how to make it work (which is not a given, getting machines to drive safely 99.99%+ of the time just through vision is loving hard), but as soulless as corporations are, they do understand liability risk and will usually avoid situations that are hilariously dangerous to the company's future for short-term profit. Not always, but usually.

I could be mistaken but as far as I know, "woke" as a term stems from slang that was floating around several years ago with people saying "get woke" to refer to waking up to societal issues. Basically 'wake up sheeple' but about actual problems like systemic racism, misogyny, and homophobia/transphobia, not stupid conspiracy theories. Slang has moved on and I haven't heard or seen anybody say "get woke" in years but the right wing is always well behind the curve on slang so they latched onto it and attack any hint of social progress as 'woke.'

Its racism and anti-gay poo poo, mostly. Its not like the left or the mainstream is talking about it much anymore, but it is being promoted *HARD* by the right as a boogeyman. The reason why is if a conservative poo poo is mad about something on TV or being taught in school due to racism or hatred towards LGBT, but they don't want to say the quiet part out loud, then they are now leaning on "woke" as their dog whistle and it works pretty well because most normal people who have started to catch on to some of the older dog whistles of the past, are not hearing this dog whistle yet.

From memory, but the early telsas had LIDAR, however the company that made them thought that ai driving was rather unsafe, so musk now hates LIDAR.
