gollark: Well, I'll add some fallbacks to potatOS again.

gollark: I think that's it.

gollark: Hmm, now CraftOS-PC won't run it again because it doesn't support readAll on binary file handles, troubling. I may have to add fallbacks.

gollark: PotatOS does bizarre exotic stuff all over the place, and your OS doesn't do anything hugely cursed, so who knows why.

gollark: PotatOS broke in it for a while, but I fixed that, without actually figuring out why.
