gollark: Even the PotatOS privileged disk creator and PXsign programs are available openly!
gollark: It has a cool new update system which even does signature validation.
gollark: In PotatOS Hypercycle you would just have to point the update server at a different one.
gollark: Meh, it's still free and open source, you can compile it without that or something or swap in your own key.
gollark: No, you can run code from disks without it, just not privileged code.
