Virtual Machines render fonts. It’s kind of insane. TrueType has its own instruction set, memory stack, and function calls. You can debug it like assembly. It’s also exploitable:

Our 'Call' teams are continuing to review all of the submissions for #BSidesLDN2025. Not long now before you'll find out whether you'll be leaving your own mark on London in December Don't be disheartened if your presentation is not chosen, we sadly can't chose all the proposals

Christianity waged 'jihad' too, in the 500s, the 1100s. Spain was more intellectually open under the Arabs than Christians who reconquered it. But Islam turned 'jihadi' at other times too, eg in the 1100s in Baghdad. It's fanaticism that's the problem, not the particular faith.

Highlighting security issues is good, but expecting volunteer devs to drop everything to fix them and harassing them over it is not... FFMpeg is a wonderful tool we're fortunate to have for free
