@coriander according to an interpretation of early marx, socialism is just when we prioritize social man over egotistical man
of course, in the next breath marx clarifies that the hallmark of egotistical man is private property
@coriander it's less accurate in a literal sense but if you want to pick up on all the ways the author of beowulf is Doing Something With Words there's no way you're going to get that from a literal translation, especially not one in like, victorian prose; you're not going to pick up on the difference between victorian phrasing A and victorian phrasing B
and like beowulf was written as entertainment for bards to yell at people yk? it's supposed to be fun
@coriander genuinely when the prose is something you grok intuitively it's way easier to pick up on language choices which otherwise might go over your head
and like, it's a translation of beowulf, of course all of those are intentional
@coriander i did a thread of some of my favourite quotes from it a while back here: https://donphan.social/@Leaf/105936600820763214
@coriander yeah i love the headley translation tbh
re: mastodon admins 🤝 library application developers
longer context: after months of the latest version of json-canonicalization being 0.3.2, they decided that was actually a breaking change and DELETED 0.3.2 and published 1.0.0 instead
versions of json-ld (same maintainer) prior to the latest require a version of json-canonicalization >= 0.3.2, < 1.0.0, which of course now no longer exists
bump your json-ld to 3.3.1 and you're good
re: mastodon admins 🤝 library application developers
anyway if you use a Gemfile.lock you should probably just go ahead and update your json-ld to the latest version right now

@coriander @aescling oh i like arven i think he's cute
however i think i'd like him a lot less in violet; him having mommy issues is ok but daddy issues would be a very different vibe
