gollark: I could make it print those when a PotatOS Incident Report is sent.
gollark: There's startup quotes, yes, no notification handling.
gollark: A more important question, maybe, is: when should potatOS *use* libhydraz?
gollark: It would probably be workable to just make `libhydraz` contain only the table of quotes as strings, and to make `autohydraz` or whatever do all the work.
gollark: Do I need to edit the `moon` or `lua` bit?
