Take a wild guess
- Deestan 1y agoPlease show me on the doll where this stranger's personal identity hurt you.
- haskellshill 1y agoThey asked a question about what ideology was being referred to, and you're angry I clarified?
- haskellshill 1y agoAlso, you do know the > Please show me on the doll where this stranger hurt you phrasing is pretty closely associated with child abuse investigations, right? I don't know why you'd associate gender identity with that?
- anonfordays 1y agoAnd these Nazis, are they in the room with us now?
- sethaurus 1y agoWell that tells me the rough cultural area alt187 might be pointing to, but I could use some more clarity. Are you saying that pronouns/transgender/queerness are the ideology? Or are you showing them as shibboleths of a broader ideological tendency that's prevailing in FOSS?
- haskellshill 1y agoFor lack of a better term one might describe the ideology as "woke"
- alt187 1y agoThe proximity with that rough cultural area is only incidental, I think. In fact, I think if you sit around for 10 mlre years, the tide will have entirely turned. I'm not gonna get into detail, but for me, some defining elements: - A compulsive need to criticize, demean and replace every piece of code written in C by Rust (rarely, it's another language). - A willingness and strong activism to separate from figures that created the FOSS landscape, like Richard Stallman. - A sort of laxism towards non-free software, and a particularly cringy hype towards corporate lip service paid to OSS, or trojan horses. - Subtle propositions made to consolide FOSS communities around centralized services, and promiting those. This isn't exhaustive, because it's just off the top of my head.
