gollark: So, has any stuff happened on SC lately?
gollark: You should make a Wikipedia page for "tamassia's algorithm for orthogonal graph drawings" then.
gollark: I hate the bizarre confusion between MiB and MB. It should *not* be a problem, but software is almost never clear about which one it displays.
gollark: Actual 1337 h4xx1ng is hard, so I mostly just try and find exploits in potatOS, which I also write.
gollark: They *really* want you to have an account.
