gollark: I'm *technically* a contributor too! Although only on relatively meaningless small changes to the ROM!
gollark: > Probably you need Phillips screwdrivers for Phillips screws, all these "standards" are made to take share of market.Aren't Philips heads just a + or something? Screwdrivers for those are very cheap and widely available.

gollark: Isn't GPU-based encoding somewhat low quality?
gollark: Idea; outdo them all by including 100 audio tracks, 99 of which are just rickrolls.
