"No, abuse of Unicode combining diacriticals is fine, why do you act like an dick-style old asshole and refuse to use a system that supports all this non-polynomial string-scanning?" "No, shitting smart quotes and turning `--` into `—` is fine, why do you act like an dick-style old asshole and yell at people that turn your `"`s [U+0022] into `“`s or `”`s [U+201c, U+201d] or at text presentations that prevent you from seeing the difference?" "No, punycode is fine, why do you act like an dick-style old asshole and insist on unambiguous singular textual representations for everything like FediList touching a network that contains people that have actively tried to exploit it and you just made fart noises when @pomstan made fun of you for saying that it was fine that bloat rendered his domain as xn--p1abe3d.xn--80asehdb?" Abuse of Unicode quotes combined with fuzzy text transformations causing stupid goddamn argument quoting bypasses in Windows so people can get owned by malformed tarballs and Excel spreadsheets and almost all the cases where a program executes another program in Windows: https://devco.re/blog/2025/01/09/worstfit-unveiling-hidden-transformers-in-windows-ansi/ > As we saw, fullwidth quotation marks (U+FF02) are transformed into regular double quotes (U+0022) during the Best-Fit conversion process. This subtle alteration changes the original command-line syntax, enabling argument-splitting behavior. HOLY FUCKING SHIT "I am never wrong because I am a goddamn genius." -t. an dick-style old asshole that doesn't write code that gets him pwned and that doesn't get fucked by goddamn text encoding bugs and goddamn spreadsheets like it is the 90s again wontfixwontfixwontfix.png 13.png 8.png 7.png
