Would be fun to read a writeup of how you implemented it.

By the performance of it, probably some bloated server-side Javascript running on a toaster.

that's not fair it's a slow python server running across 5 toasters

How else do you propose a toaster generate heat to make the toast? At least it's not the thermostat so it thinks the AC needs to constantly be running. So there's quite a bit of positive logic in the toaster decision

I think there's a severe problem with this implementation. By using wrapping, I can't write "boobs" and have everyone else read my graffiti without them having having the same zoom wrapping point.

We need community consensus on checkboxes per line

43. 43 per line.

Honestly that was one of my first thoughts when I saw this, someone is going to draw one of those. People love trying to be offensive in something that barely allows communication. I remember seeing some MMORPG that had no chat where players would log in and just stand in the shape of a swastika. Makes me wonder if it's reasonable to write an algorithm to detect that.

Which MMO was that in? I'm working on my own and now I have a new worry on my plate. Short of standard moderation, an algorithm to detect it could be interesting.

Took me a while to remember the name, it was Habbo. The swastikas are mentioned on the Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habbo
