gollark: Even with computers they still managed to mess the phone network up so horribly.- calls appear to use an awful voice codec- multimedia messages are overcharged massively for- caller ID spoofing is a very common thing- mobile phones have stupidly complex modem chips with excessive access to the rest of their phone, closed source firmware and probably security bugs- SIM cards are self contained devices with lots of software in *Java*?! In a sane system they would need to store something like four values.- "eSIM" things are just reprogrammable soldered SIM cards because apparently nobody thought of doing it in software?!- phone towers are routinely spoofed by law enforcement for no good reason and apparently nobody is stopping this- phone calls/texts are not end to end encrypted, which is practical *now* if not when much of the development of mobile phones and whatever was happening- there are apparently a bunch of exploits in the protocols linking phone networks, like SS7
gollark: I think if a tick takes a few seconds or something.

gollark: I actually found this page on it. https://wiki.vg/Server_List_PingAmazing how much of Minecraft's been reverse engineered.
gollark: The widget thing sounds cool. I think you could actually do it as an external webserver thing instead of a plugin, since IIRC Minecraft servers have some sort of external reporting protocol.
