       @fribbledom whoa who’d have thought I’d have nostalgia for late 90s / early 2000s early digital culture growing pains.I got my first MP3, “Song to the Siren” by This Mortal Coil, off of freakin Usenet in 1997, and the only Mac MP3 encoder for the longest time was a reference Classic application from Fraunhofer which required that CD tracks be converted to stereo 16-bit 44.1kHz WAV. It would invariably crash the Mac hard upon completion.

       @jk What’s wrong with the cut-up technique pioneered by Burroughs? What’s wrong with Marvel vs Capcom? If photoshopping Tails high fiving Kim Jong-Eun is wrong then I don’t wanna be right

       Today I learned that zip in macOS has a “fix zipfile” option with -F and a “try harder” option with -FF.
