gollark: I would also like to remind everyone that regardless of any rumors you may have heard, PotatOS is *not* associated with SCP-3125.
gollark: Frankly, I think if I made it something like "add these two three-digit numbers" to uninstall, people would *still* complain and say "AAAA IT SAYS COMPLEX MAFS HOW DO I DO COMPLEX MAFS".
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.
