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
this is like that star trek episode where they use the holodeck to figure out what happens if you go warp 10, then it turns out actually doing that turns you into a lizard
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.
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
