touchHLE (my iOS emulator project) is gonna end up in fork hell and there's already people uploading builds with no source included in shady places. so… what if i added a build step that literally embeds the entire source code into the executable 🤔 i think it would be good

@hikari To what end? It’s not verifiable or anything.

@hikari But what is an end user going to do with that source code?

@jrose the average user? nothing, but what were they gonna do with the rest of the dead bytes in the executable

@hikari I really don’t know what your goal is. Is it that someone who makes a fork will be “open-sourcing” their changes by default if they put the build up anywhere?
