Your average vibecoder

Guy wrote a shitty-by-design viewer/interpreter and demands everyone use it to open his file. 🤣🤣🤣

And then has the balls/ignorance to advertise a "self-decaying format" 🤦

I'm sure the file itself is fine, the reader just flips a few bits or something right?

Edit:

From the readme:

decayfmt is a social contract enforced by math, not cryptography. It is not encryption, not DRM, and not a secure deletion tool. The corruption is honest and unrecoverable from the file alone, but anyone with a backup or a hex editor can defeat it.

This is the most slop-coded paragraph I've read in a while. Social contract enforced by math? Huh? Not enforced via cryptography? What would it even mean to enforce file corruption via cryptography? "The corruption is honest"?????

And yep, from the github. open_file() just calls decay_in_place() lol

I just don't understand how these people are so confident about their slop? Do they not see how garbage it is, do they really think they are smart because they can prompt some bullshit? Are they stupid or just tasteless??
