I guess "virtue signal" is the cool new catchphrase used by cynics.

Is there any way for a person or company to do anything of any good without being accused of this? Probably not. Anonymous commenters on the interwebs loves these types of throwaway accusations.

Actually, now that I think of it, mentioning "virtue signal" and "woke" is really just sending a virtue signal about how you're the truly woke one...

And I'm sending a virtue signal right now about how I totally get what's happening, and you don't, which shows how woke I am...

I don't think this particular hole has a bottom.

I assume that virtue signalling works much like normal POSIX signalling, except that a process must already be woke to send or receive such a signal.

The implications for power management are troubling, to say the least.

It’s easy to be cynical when a megacompany does something that saves money while arguing that it has nothing to do with saving money.
