gollark: The cursor position is *somehow* horribly messed up.
gollark: Working on a *very* basic CC web thing which works by running CraftOS-PC on the backend. It doesn't really, er, work.
gollark: I have no idea what I did which made it do *that*.
gollark: And it draws that whole taskbar thing at the bottom *just* for the `start` button, since this "OS" is monotasking and doesn't actually have windowing support at all.
gollark: The `settings` option doesn't work, `programs` is only Paint and LuaIDE, and there's no way to get a shell except the `run` button.
