Reply to Super disappointed to see a cryptographer I respect removed BDS from his homepage D by twovests
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

Reply to comment by hollyhoppet in i think we should have daily threads reassuring ourselves that we aren't weirdos for hanging out on here instead of that other bigger website, and also frequently share and froth at the rage bait from the other bigger website that we're glad we aren't using by emma
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.

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.
