gollark: Except they're a grammar nazi and will only accept exactingly precise unambiguous Spanish.
gollark: On the "I just want opencomputers to do what I want", it does not *know* what you want, and "I want it to display the RF here" is not a precise enough specification. A precise enough specification of what you want (which is also in a format the computer can understand) would be... code.
gollark: It can't interact with stuff outside the game (except internet cards), and you can edit, download, and do whatever else to it from within an OC computer.
gollark: This does *not* run "outside the game".
