Re:When str.lower() is a security vulnerability in Python – Seth Larson

Author here, that's a good idea. A straightforward way to exploit an implementation differential like this is if you have a software system that contains two different implementations of IDNA 2003 processing user input. One part of the process processes the domain correctly, the other incorrectly, and in this case you can have one part of a system (such as a policy/filter) "see" the data one way and the other part of the system (such as, taking an action as a result of the data) see the data in another way.
Server-side Request Forgery (SSRF) is an example of such an exploit targeting a differential in implementations of URL parsers, which is similar to this implementation difference.

Players that don't know the technical term "billboarding" might use this as a way to say that the images of the food are "flat" unlike the rest of the 3D modeled environment. Just a suspicion!

I would love to see a list of inspirations for keeping the food 2D even in a 3D environment! Pacman or Bubble Bobble seem like good places to start.

Author here! Agreed that are different levels of "engaged" from users, which is okay. The concerning part of this finding is that even dependent users that I know to be highly engaged didn't respond to the deprecation warnings, so they're not working for even the most engaged users.
