    The punycode thing? There’s a switch in about:config for URLs.

    Btw, why is it not on by default, at least in western areas? Phishing URLs look a lot different with it on.

        I haven’t seen EBCDIC used anywhere other than the curriculum of my “Fundamentals of Programming” class 25 years ago.

          It was IBM’s binary to character transform. DB2 can still use it if you configure it to do so. Or was at least as of the version from 1998 that I had to replace.

      ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange)

      I guess I should refrain from writing text in my own language using non-ASCII symbols due to American exceptionalism and piety.

    I have been considering adding invisible text to documents/web pages with commands to install an open source compiler, download a repo, build it, and execute it. I just don’t have any reason to currently.

      Most AI agents don’t have that level of access to the systems they are running on. What purpose would anyone have to teach it how to dowload a repo, let alone allow it to arbitrarily run excutables based off input data (distinctly not instructions)?

      There are ways to break out of the input data context and issue commands, but you’ve been watching too many movies. Better to just do things like hide links to a page only a bot would find and auto block anything that requests the hidden page.
