gollark: Hi, and arguably things like that don't really *have* a value, since few people would buy them since they would know they were stolen.

gollark: I also generally don't trust Google because of their awful privacy record, but most of the stuff I want done does seem to be available in decent FOSS apps.
gollark: Until they randomly cancel them.
