Florida Bathroom Ban Now In Effect: Enforcement Likely To Be A Disaster
The first criminal bathroom ban with a jail sentence has just taken effect overnight in Florida. Florida is now dangerous for transgender people to travel through, with arrests likely in coming days.Erin Reed (Erin In The Morning)
It's such a shame when cool projects are maintained by bigots.
I wanted to give Hyprland a try, since I love the (technical) direction it's going. Sadly, the maintainers are transphobic and will treat you like garbage if you are a trans person. @orowith2os, a great friend of mine, shared some screenshots about the bigotry on the Discord server that made me reconsider my decision.

Anon: howdy, i saw your comment here https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/discussions/284#discussioncomment-3621242 about "recent events". i was wondering, did something happen in the hyprland project?

Oro: Yeah, in the Discord, specifically. "vaxry" and "fufexan” are pretty bigoted, and I'd rather not associate myself with them.
For some context, I changed my Discord username to include my pronouns, similar to Matrix, since Matrix doesn't have a system for "About Me"s yet. It also helps to weed out the assholes, so | was pretty successful at that, it seems.
Here's the end result: [see next image]

Anon: that's disappointing to hear. i read through a few of the past issues and was getting pretty big asshole vibes from vaxry at least, which was already making me skeptical of maintaining the package myself in fedora. part of the job of being a packager is working with the upstream developers, so naturally i try to keep an eye out for hostile or toxic upstreams. thanks for the extra background.
i'm not super familiar with discord, is that screenshot showing that they changed your display name pronouns to "who/cares” after you had set it to "they/them/she/her" or something?
--
Oro: Correct. It was the same as my current Matrix one, and then they decided to change the nickname, and lock it so I couldn't change it back with that "no” role.
