gollark: PHP-ASM when?
gollark: > oform.<|endoftext|>I'll try upgrading the next version, I'll have to switch to a better version.<|endoftext|>It's a shame I could switch a CC BIOS, but that's very irritating.<|endoftext|>I see. If you're running the commands directly into the sandbox, it will use a lot of logic.<|endoftext|>Well, yes, I did.<|endoftext|>Oh, you said that, and didn't do anything?<|endoftext|>But it's still running now.<|endoftext|>I have no clue what the "beware" means, because it's not really `gps`.<|endoftext|>No, the CLI is not an example.<|endoftext|>It also does random stuff, it's not helpful.<|endoftext|>It's not like it goes through your sandbox.<|endoftext|>I see.<|endoftext|>It's not like a program.<|endoftext|>Well, yes, for that.<|endoftext|>It's not really much easier to program.<|endoftext|>
gollark: So it'll be done with the 10 kilosteps I initially configured soon; I guess I'll run another 16000 or so, which should take about 3 hours.
gollark: The incredible march of technology.
gollark: (ping was in the output, blame the ineffable machinations of it)
