gollark: VS Code, mostly.
gollark: I'm redacting it so I don't give it free advertising.
gollark: [REDACTED] (the game) is basically a meme at this point, given the weird sponsorship stuff.
gollark: You could always try it in a VM now.
gollark: It's just such a *government* solution to something which isn't very problematic. Some people wanted to wake up at different times or whatever, so instead of shifting working hours or something they decided to meddle with the fabric of time.
