gollark: PotatOS also includes Lolcrypt™ technologies.
gollark: Cool potatOS feature: it has more fun termination messages.
gollark: Ugh, somebody spammed SPUDNET-IR with Siri reports.
gollark: Anyway, presumably the remover tool downloaded an omnidisk onto it for some reason but didn't add a UUID or license or something. It should be logged to SPUDNET-IR actually.
gollark: The `not a directory` issue is caused by, probably, it deleting the potatOS user data folder. If that's missing, potatOS will recreate it with a mode-γ update.
