@bascule that reminds me of the time I noticed in a web server log that occasionally clients would get a 404 after requesting a bizarre URL of the form
https://[hostname]/0.000000E+00username/
which, after some headscratching, I realised was because they had started with
https://[hostname]/~username/
and then %-escaped the tilde
https://[hostname]/%7Eusername/
and then accidentally used that as a printf format string, which took %7E to be a floating-point format directive!
@MichaelKlamerus Hello - I was "wildweasel" on cohost. I maintain a website at https://netizen.club/~wildweasel - it is, at the moment, about golf games, but I intend to eventually put other things on there too. I don't have RSS set up. That's on the long-term wish list.

https://www.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/comments/1fcs6b2/i_really_want_to_show_yall_this/ I love how any game that lets you build stuff is potentially a toolbox for stuff like this.
There's a whole alternate future I imagined for myself back at art school where I got really good at doing these kinds of tightly sync'd audiovisual things and made music videos for musicians I liked, that would have pretty inevitably migrated into game engines and become interactive full-surround experiences.

@inbtwn Hello, this is wildweasel from cohost, sent you a follow request from computerfairi.es that I'm fairly sure is going to not be on the whitelist yet.

RIP James Earl Jones.
Here's his performance as "The Big P.I. in the Sky" in "Under a Killing Moon" (1994). #DOSGaming
One thing I do want to say plain and clear, where it can be seen by the person it matters to: thank you, @mavica_again for so graciously hosting my Golfshrine. I hope one day to repay that.
With the impending closure of Cohost, I'm having to do some real thinking about where my online home is, anymore. Maybe here? But I'm still attempting to find the people I lost when I had to close down my Twitter, and I worry about putting all my social eggs in one basket.
Sure as hell not going all in on Tumblr again.

So, @capital called software "necrotic" as opposed to bitrot, because bitrot implies things have been abandoned to wither but all these things are rotting while alive and maintained.
@gifsbot Reminiscent of, but not 100% identical to, this screenshot of Test Drive: https://www.mobygames.com/game/107/test-drive/screenshots/dos/324/
