gollark: I mean, unix FSes are case sensitive.
gollark: Seems reasonable.
gollark: Well, the issue is this:- I would be very annoyed if linking to things was case-sensitive- I can make SQLite look up stuff case-insensitively, but this would cause further bee with other components probably
gollark: Hmm, am I going to horribly regret having Minoteaur canonicalize titles to Title Case Or Something?
gollark: I might be able to get it to forward onto another radioserver with less limited capabilities, and I actually could pretty easily wrangle another HTTP audio streaming thing if necessary.
