gollark: I don't trust printers.
gollark: I'm at least decently confident it would be *quite hard* for unauthorized people to get access. And paper isn't easily backupable or searchable, doesn't support embedding images and videos, doesn't have good linking support, and can be lost easily.

gollark: ... though I could do that too.
gollark: No, it's just a regular sort of notes thing except I can do crosslinking and stuff.
