"Is cooked", meaning "Is in trouble" or "Is in some shit".
Hyprland's dev got themselves into some internet fight because they associated themselves with a transphobe and Freedesktop people decided this was enough.
As I understand, the person who ultimately made the decision to ban Vaxry was also on a massive power trip.
You'd imagine freeDesktop devs to be more mature about something like that compared to a young adult, and end up being wrong and unsurprised
Eh, I'll be honest. Having read the posts here (from both Vaxry AND Freedesktop) about the subject:
It does seem like Vaxry is just a well-meaning software dev caught up in shit he didn't ask for. He wasn't the person who made the comment for one thing.
But also I kinda get Freedesktop's angle here, being a queer person myself. I've seen communities I previously cared about get ship-of-theseused into places that are deeply unwelcoming to people like me due to brushing off this kind of 'joke'. You give the -phobes an inch they WILL take the entire road.
In my opinion everyone needs to be very private online, so i cant really relate.
But kinda see what you mean
[tongue click]
In another universe where things are entirely different, I might agree to the 'people should be very private online'. Fuck, I'd even extend it to real life?
But we don't live in that other universe, and in the universe we currently live, obnoxious behaviour from The Straights (tm) isn't considered obnoxious by 90% of society, whereas even the smallest bit of expression from a GSM person is seen as extravagant and explicit. Straight people can take advantage of the standard of 'people should be private' because their expression isn't considered unprivate by most and the opposite isn't true for us.
So $&*# that. I'll be as loudly gay as I can be.
...Okay?
