gollark: I check Wikipedia rather than using the (surprisingly small) database dump, partly because the database dump is text-only and the software for viewing it is lacking, and partly because there's just no particular reason to not use the online one.
gollark: Can you *not* just browse it online as normal people do?
gollark: Not really sure how to express that without (*EVIL*) dynamically generating SQL, or filtering the rows in JS after they're retrieved...
gollark: I've *just* realized that I think the behavior I want is probably requiring *all* the flags in the query to be present, not *one* of them, so this query is mostly useless, if cool.
gollark: I'm now wondering if I should store the device hash things in the database or just generate them as stuff is displayed.
