Notes

Player is signed, but hasn't been added to the 2020 roster because of injury
Player is signed, but hasn't been added to the 2020 roster because of difficulties getting into Canada due to the COVID-19 pandemic

gollark: There's actually a bit of the code just listing words containing OS.

gollark: Basically, it always starts "PotatOS", then I have 8102 hardcoded digits of tau (from which it picks a random number of them), *then* a randomly picked word containing "OS", then a non-cryptographic hash of some of the code.

gollark: No, PotatOS uses EXTREME VERSIONING.

gollark: So `0.1251192587.4` for example.

gollark: If I make a rolling release distro, I'll mildly irritate people by listing a version number which is just... the year minus 2020 or something, a counter which increments every time a package updates, and a random number.
