  2. Estimate for the number of mature individuals in the wild.
gollark: Due to environment weirdness.
gollark: Well, its bundling system conflicts with the one potatOS *itself* uses.
gollark: I'm personally trying to debug issues with the potatOS ECC library, which is problematic because the tools to do debugging are cryptographically signed... using the ECC library... for privileged execution mode.
gollark: PotatOS nesting.
gollark: * unsupported.
