after the outcry in the wake of the invasion of ukraine, and the deafening silence on palestine, i've come to the conclusion that the vast majority of the tech community simply don't see palestinians as human.

which is to say (without knowing who the cryptographer in question is), it's quite possible his homepage does reflect his current stance

i'm very self-conscious of answering this, because it feels like i'm on the edge of doing the thing i'm criticising.

so i'll be vague instead: you can substitute 'on here' and 'other bigger website' for ones that rhyme with 'gastrodon' and 'mritter', respectively. i'm dependent on using gastrodon's explore tab to find interesting accounts to follow, but thanks to people screenshotting all the bad things from mritter, i get to see all the bad things from there on gastrodon instead, interspersed with self-satisfied wanking about how gastrodon isn't full of the things it's full of screenshots of.

mr breast's gonna buy twitter for 3% of what musk paid for it, and musk's gonna either buy wikipedia or become ceo of the linux foundation.

shame. though i did have a good time reading the off-topic comments on github arguing the merits of mastodon in shadow the hedgehog voice.

I've been trying to piece together what this is about, and it seems to be in reference to this. Also seems like a larger situation that's been brewing for a while, judging by some comments?

Anyway i was just surprised to come across a second person talking about queer baiting in relation to rust, even if it is in reference to the foundation and not the language itself
