gollark: <@128643042537111552> Incognito mode just stops your *browser* from putting stuff in the history on *your computer*. It stops absolutely nobody else.

gollark: That sounds problematic. I hope it's fixable.
gollark: We know that different genetic variants occur in nature. If you can be sure you're only editing specific bits it's *probably* fine?
gollark: > Changing peoples genes can't be good<@438839137496203266> I feel like it's probably fine as long as it's made reasonably safe somehow.
