gollark: <@151391317740486657> Oh no. How terrible.
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.
