Hyriidae

Hyriidae is a taxonomic family of pearly freshwater mussels, aquatic bivalve molluscs in the order Unionida. This family is native to South America, Australia, New Zealand and New Guinea.[1] Like all members of that order, they go through a larval stage that is parasitic on fish (see glochidium).

gollark: Okay then, I've added a setting (hopefully, I haven't... really done much testing...) which should allow you to disable PotatOS EZcopy/disk infection (`set potatOS.disable_ezcopy` out of sandbox, `est potatOS.disable_ezcopy` in sandbox). This is rolling out to potatOS computers on Switchcraft, and I'm planning to eventually mention this to users on first boot or something.
gollark: Generally ext4 is good.
gollark: The symlink thing? I think so. You will need to automount the disk, probably.
gollark: What ”sort” of ”special case”?
gollark: That was someone else.
