you can restrict who's allowed to make forums, which ought to have been admins only from the beginning.

Reply to comment by twovests in im a tech bro and i hate diversity and inclusion! grrrr! haha hey rust looks pretty good. why am i hearing about it just now in 2022? wow i love how good the documentation is. wow EVERYONE who works on rust is trans? by twovests
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

changing this would effectively log everyone out, so i don't think it should be done.
also having www as a separate subdomain is good if you want to have other subdomains, since cookies from one don't interfere with others.

Reply to comment by flabberghaster in windows update wiped out my boot partition, linux partition, AND my windows partition by twovests
since you can't patch that out, it seems to me you should just disable windows update and avoid the hassle

i'm aware of the text problem, and i'm going to get around it by playing it on switch and using the clip saving feature and/or the text history which was added in the hd versions
the english localisation is a mixed bag for me. i love the wit and general flow of the dialogue, i'm perfectly happy with the english names, i don't like the americentricness, and i hate how they keep digging when more and more japanese themed stuff keeps popping up and they need to explain how all this could possibly be happening in california. in the end, i kept coming back to play more of the games, so i guess it did its job.
