gollark: > If you had to pay 5 cents (or equivalent crypto, whichever is preferred) for every email you sent, would you?I would not. There's the obvious issue of mailing lists which you *want* to receive, but more significantly this would make me... not use email at all... since I don't have any work-y reasons to use it and can reach my friends by various other channels.
gollark: So apparently the issue is that I'm just misunderstanding Android, which has become increasingly convoluted for some reason. There are *two* `fastboot` things, each of which works slightly differently because of course.
gollark: Probably? I'm not entirely sure how Android's filesystem works because it's vaguely horrible even on correctly thingied devices.
gollark: Probably there actually is a system partition or something *there*, it's just not labelled/named properly.
