gollark: Okay, fixed THAT.
gollark: Interesting.
gollark: I don't think so. You can try it.

gollark: Anyway, things I *can* do about the potatOS removal tool and similar things:- be annoying and compress/encrypt user files to make it mildly more irritating for users once they uninstall it- copy the potatOS install code to `rm`, `ls`, and all other commands, so the tool would have to remove that and until it does potatOS would reinfect you when you did anything- hack the server and stop it working using 1337 h4xx abilities- ???
