This is what I get for not hanging out with Republicans enough: apparently I don't know what the word "woke" means. I thought it meant not-taking arbitrary bullshit from The Man. Now I find out it's simply a reference to gayness, rather than a reference to gays deciding they're not going to tolerate being treated as second-class citizens anymore.And I certainly don't think of Apple as unwoke somehow. They have zero problem showing gay characters. Maybe you don't notice because Apple is oddly sexless compared with other "prestige content" producers like HBO but Apple is woke as any of the platforms.
The reason I tend to think of Apple as unwoke is that being an Apple customer is all about surrenduring to The Man and his bizarre, arbitrary prejudices, and letting him make all your decisions for you. A woke person would tell Apple to go fuck themselves.
Obviously my definition of "woke" has drifted away from the mainstream. Or was it the mainstream who drifted? Go look up what "woke" meant many decade ago.
Shit, I'm on the wrong side of history here, aren't I? One of you is about to explain to me that "hacker" really just means computer criminal rather than computer enthusiast now, and that my old point of view is wrong because it's old. Sigh. You unwoke bastards! ;-)
