Personnel
gollark: I say it's not, "they" is mostly plural still, and you say "they are" even for the singular form.
gollark: In servers, though, not "desktop" systems.
gollark: You've been able to get unreasonably large amounts of RAM in one machine for *ages*.
gollark: There are actually automated tools for that now, which is neat, and firefox has "reader mode".
gollark: ||It reminded me of some short story I read about... well, an automatic poem generator.||
