gollark: What do you mean "terminal buffer"? It'll just send the entire framebuffer in some format on every update?
gollark: What do you mean "binary form"?
gollark: This might be a problem. Terminal escape sequence thingies are 0x1B then whatever, which is also a valid character for CC to print.
gollark: <@205756960249741312> Just thought of this: how does CLI mode handle teletext characters?
gollark: Our idea was to run a bunch of CC computers headlessly and allow accessing them from ingame as well as the interweb. Basically "the cloud", but for CC. I have no idea what it could be used for but it would be cool.
