gollark: Wild theory on new people constantly wanting to make an OS: they think something like "Oh wow, CC is so unlike Windows! And I have never seen any desktop OS but Windows! I must make it more like Windows so it is more familiar. Clearly nobody else has done this, or it would already be the default, because this is obviously better." Not explicitly/exactly that obviously, but think this might be close to what's going on.

gollark: Stupid dan200ing dan200...
gollark: Wait, how do I actually *detect* if it supports `write`ing a string?
gollark: I suppose I'll have to add in this as a fallback thing... thanks.
