gollark: I somehow can't even decide how exactly file upload should work.
gollark: None of the problems in this are algorithmically challenging, the most complex bit of this is just the weird logic for generating context around a link, but I have trouble making decisions and adding features involves lots of that.
gollark: Maybe I should use this "emeraldchat" to procrastinate on additional minoteaur features.
gollark: They didn't tell right, though, in heavpoot's case.
gollark: Plausible.
