gollark: Those don't appear to exist on the Discord side of this bridge.
gollark: Is anyone working on having postmarketOS available as a Project Treble "generic system image" thing? UBPorts apparently has one, and it could be really interesting as it would let it run on basically any recent device.
gollark: Well, sure, people interact differently over different media, I don't think this is a new thing.
gollark: I'm not really sure what you're trying to say by that, either.
gollark: Yes, I agree social media is kind of problematic. I think technology, in the very general sense of "human-built tools" and whatnot instead of the weird new one of "only computer-based stuff", is a net positive, considering.
