Purpose
- Irrigation
gollark: ... hmm, this campaign will have to be conveyed entirely in reactions in <#471332775434125313> somehow.
gollark: DS just arbitrarily erases its memory? How unethical. I'm going to launch a bot rights campaign against him.
gollark: The root problem is that all software in existence is awful and we can barely keep up with the obvious holes.
gollark: Chromium itself is apparently fine because of its isolation features, but Discord turns them off in its client because of course.
gollark: See above: an exploit in the Discord client is being used to crash it and run malicious code of some kind.
