gollark: Sorry for the time taken but it uses a HDD and the server takes *minutes* to boot.
gollark: osmarks.tk is currently down for maintenence (i.e. server kernel updates).
gollark: I should probably try and make native dark theme compatibility work in mine.
gollark: Bees wouldn't do this, though. Bees are incorruptible. Bees don't care if a lobbyist gives them money.
gollark: I vote that all politics be replaced with bees.
