to prank people using school computers
Ah the olden days of using windows accessibility features to replace ".com" with ".corn"
You were more subtle than my friends. In the computer lab, we would just change "the" to "fuck"
We started there of course. The subtlety has far more to do with needing to get clever than with us being clever. Eventually it got to the point where I had to write a python script to reinstall all our .corn antics back on every school machine because the school took to resetting all accessibility dictionaries every night
this isn't dumb at all
