If you have a portable installation (config inside install directory) and Yuzu is installed in a directory that requires elevated permissions to write to (C:\Program Files), then you would need to run Yuzu as administrator in order for changes to stay OR you would need to move the Yuzu folder elsewhere.

Otherwise, if your install is non-portable (config somewhere in C:\Users\username\AppData) the file you are trying to modify may be set to read-only (check properties from right-click menu)

I'm not at my PC to check/verify any of this, I just happend to see this while browsing. Hope this helps.

A fight to the death and the winner gets a submarine tour of the Titanic.

I'll know the Fediverse is mainstream when I inevitably see this post and comments in a top 10 list or being read by an AI voice and posted to a video sharing site as part of an automated content farm.

Ultimately, the goal of the protest should be to get as many users off of Reddit as possible.

It's all about harm reduction (or maximization, in this case) and minimizing the amount of traffic and useful data to Reddit. There are going to be situations where giving screenreader users the information about Lemmy/kbin will transition users off of Reddit. In that case, the number of users leaving Reddit probably outweighs the cost of providing a minuscule amount of data to Reddit in the couple of comments it takes to advertise transitioning to Lemmy/kbin to such users.

It's up to the individual to make that evaluation for themselves. If you want to propose a Lemmy/kbin alternative to Redditors on r/screenreader, then yeah, probably don't use encoded text.

Annoying normies with protest until they leave is like the politics inverse of campaigns softening their messages to appeal to suburban mothers.

That's Captain John Oliver!

That makes sense, I didn't even think about that aspect of it. Obviously users seeing posts of (Sexy Captain) John Oliver will know that those users are protesting, but seeing pirate-speak comments in non-protesting posts would also cause users to be reminded of the protest (if pirate-speak caught on large-scale and was associated with the protest).

I was thinking more small-scale individual-level and not the large-scale that (Sexy Captain) John Oliver posts have become. It would be nice if it caught on to a large scale like you suggest. My biggest gripe with these protest discussions being on Reddit is that Reddit is still benefiting from that activity and this would be my way of mitigating that.
