Friend who is not a software person sent me this tweet, which amused me as it did them. They asked if "runk" was real, which I assume not.

But what are some good examples of real ones like this? xz became famous for the hack of course, so i then read a bit about how important this compression algorithm is/was.

I saw a post earlier about Empress returning to game cracking. For modern video games that use Denuvo DRM, she's the only person who can really crack it, as far as I know. Singlehandedly holding up the AAA game piracy scene.

I can't help but laugh at how batshit crazy she is. Didn't she write a rap at some point??

I'll never not be convinced that she's on a fair amount of meth and/or crack.

Writing poetry => meth + crack???

Not for most people no, but Empress? I will believe it straight away.

You should read the rap lol.
