gollark: I'll give it to you if you tell me the exploit.
gollark: I should improve that.
gollark: Oh hey, it is still PotatOS 6.2 TuberOS.
gollark: If your disk actually *does* have full potatOS source... then when you boot it up it would just autoupdate and overwrite that copy with the pastebin installer, if I had that feature turned on.
gollark: Most potatOS install disks just have `shell.run "pastebin run rm13ugfa"`, which downloads the latest copy off pastebin.
