Discography
gollark: You can look at the code to verify that it does really uninstall, by the way.
gollark: And if players can't figure out to duckduckgo "number factorizer" or something when they see "factorize this number", perhaps that is their problem..
gollark: It can't really magically hide itself in the background or something because that would require basically the same sandboxing infrastructure as potatOS itself, with the same flaws.
gollark: <@151391317740486657> It does actually uninstall it, not because of the rules but because I'm just that nice!
gollark: The lawsuits were just people trying to profit off its popularity.
