gollark: Excellent. That means you can be targeted by [REDACTED] and ⒈𥡵ͳɲ█.
gollark: Didn't you exit the Consortium on there?
gollark: If you transistor goes brrrr, you are doing it wrong.
gollark: My device was not doing audio output on the headphone jack. I had to muck around with ADB (as root because of course) and change some mysterious setting in a config file and it worked.
gollark: Also, I had an unfathomable Android issue and it turned out to actually be quite fathomable, so I'm happy?
