if @blackle@dev.glitch.social had a ducksona would it be a quackle?

@mavica ah shit, sorry, thought that one might work without problems

still available if you post me an sd card and a stamped self-addressed envelope though

@mavica such a good plushie! *cuddles*

I mean, dusty tomes of forgotten lore? man pages

eldritch abominations that must be placated? social media algorithms

bizarre chanting? SUDO APT UPDATE SUDO APT UPGRADE
