Soundtrack
  • "Chloe" (Music by Neil Moret, lyrics by Gus Kahn)
gollark: It is not good. It does not support random access. Its format is bizarre and fairly bad.
gollark: Just wait for the inevitability of osmarksarchiveformat™.
gollark: So does a binary format! We can swap bytes nowadays!
gollark: Depending on context, ZIP might actually be better.
gollark: And the lack of random access *is a flaw* for many usecases.
