   @eniko 10$ says they only add it because some damn microsoft product does, and they want to be bad-idea-for-bad-idea compatible

     so we have several google docs for the script of kitsune tails. i download them as txt files, and a batch file concatenates them with the `type` command. then i feed the concatenated full script to our script tool

     anyway turns out when you download txt files from google docs they stick a fucking byte order mark in em. so concatenating them just sticks random BOMs all through your document. i never noticed because of a fluke of the tool

     so anyway now i've added code to strip BOMs from the start of any line but jesus christ this is why there should not be byte order marks, ever, and if your software is putting them into plaintext files in this, the year of our lord 2024 then you deserve to get reality checked right into the pavement

     a pox on whoever came up with the fucking byte order mark
