gollark: > can i reverse engineer potatOSYep!> and make my own omnidiskNope!
gollark: Or I guess you could compile your whole thing including the license verification to bytecode.
gollark: <@154361670188138496> I mean, kind of. Thing is, OmniDisks\™ are basically only useful for getting around PotatOS sandboxing. So if they can't do that the disk is useless.This sort of "only useful in an environment you fully control" sandboxing is the only workable sort.
gollark: It also contains valid disk IDs for each UUID and disk IDs are unique to each disk and unspoofable.
