gollark: What?
gollark: ```lua local autorun = potatOS.registry.get "potatOS.autorun" if type(autorun) == "string" then autorun = load(autorun) end if type(autorun) == "function" then process.spawn(autorun, "autorun") end```
gollark: Okay, done, that is now easy.
gollark: Hold on a few minutes.
gollark: It doesn't actually randomly RUN registry stuff, but that is a BRILLIANT idea.
