He is not weirdly political, he has just more normal views, I know that is something hard to grasp for some tech bro.

He is popular, because tech is overrun by woke weirdos, of course it finds an audience when someone has a bit of common sense that resonates with normal people.

The wording may be me be best. Instead, he should just say "no woke bullshit".

But obviously he gets only hate from the HN crowd.

I like system, I like the rust rewrite of the coreutls, but I HATE that they picked MIT instead of GPLv3, so I not even agree with all of this. I use dash to panel and a bunch of other Gnome extensions, no need for anything else either.

Can you define woke? I think the term is meaninglessly broad at this point, so I'm curious how you'd define it. (A definition, not examples, please)
Not OP; but I would define it as a cluster of specific and strongly held opinions on several topics, such as race/ethnicity, sex, migration, climate change. These opinions cluster together, and produce certain recognizable behaviors including speech patterns, speech taboos, and aggressiveness towards people who do not share these opinions.
Could you not define MAGA in exactly the same way? The opinions are different, but since you haven't said what they are, the definition works for either.
LOL. I'm not a "tech bro", the only computer I've ever been paid to use is the POS system of a cash register. I know perfectly well what normal is. Lunduke and the other anti-woke types are just as weird and far more annoying than the people they incessantly complain about.
