Recipients
gollark: Ah, but flash memory loses data if it's left unpowered pretty fast. ~~He~~ You overthought the wrong bit of it. Blu ray discs would be better.
gollark: Though websites being bloated messes packed with inefficient programming, JS all the time for no reason, and ads doesn't help. My site is optimized for load speed, and I got core stuff down to about 20kB a page and do aggressive service worker caching, but most sites do *not* do this.
gollark: Web standards are insanely complex and getting more complicated by the day as they pile on more extensions for USB and Bluetooth and WebAssembly (though I like that one) and exotic CSS features.
gollark: <@343573410531639296> Don't blame browsers for the horrible mess that is web standards. With Unicode even TEXT RENDERING is a nightmare. https://gankra.github.io/blah/text-hates-you/
gollark: The best naming scheme is obviously `openssl rand -hex 16`.
