Cast
gollark: MINE is better. ANY byte sequence, including zero length ones, shall be interpreted as the entire Shrek movie.
gollark: Here it is. Discord can't play it as it does not support AV1.
gollark: Oh, they did do so, fascinating.
gollark: I really doubt that's going to be better than AV1, unless it's hyperoptimized for specifically Shrek.
gollark: 8MB is *barely* viewable with the latest available codecs.
