So if fonts can contain embedded web assembly, how long until someone makes a font that runs doom?

@foone So if WHAT

@foone

I knew that making everything Turing-complete was going to end in tears.

Well played, friend. Well played.

@angelastella @foone If fonts are Turing-complete, this makes digital copies of computational demonology texts significantly more dangerous @cstross

@foone Weren't they called TrueType exploits?

@angelastella technically everything I do is turing complete, since I'm Turing

@foone this popped up right above your post https://fedi.simonwillison.net/@simon/112666853509105383

@me yeah, that's what I was subtooting

@foone I recall someone programmed a Pokemon-like game as a TrueType font, but I've lost the link...

@foone This font runs Pokemon: https://www.coderelay.io/fontemon.html
