@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

insomnia? 

it's 02:30 and i should be asleep but i want to be writing XSLT

@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

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

@aescling @Satsuma cat it is very difficult to offend me by calling me cute pet names
