Breaking: Streamers renamed Ribbons, totally unrelated streamers are up in arms

What’s up, streams. You been streaming today? I stream every day, stream on brother

Did you know that the word "Run" has hundreds of definitions? Like, more then 600 depending on who you ask.

Let's discriminate the term further by calling the producer the "stream source" and the consumers the "stream sink".

We now have "sourcers" and "sinkers". Thank me later. Or don't.
