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

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.

since you can't patch that out, it seems to me you should just disable windows update and avoid the hassle
