Notes

gollark: Depends what its privacy policy says.
gollark: Again, it says so, and it's just saying it *might* not, not that it *doesn't*.
gollark: Not anomalous.
gollark: jm lacks rust's borrow checker.
gollark: it would be very hard for me to fake incorrect grammar. i might literally die from how horrible it would be to do that.
