gollark: You can't make a program to fully autonomously uninstall potatOS from within it - ignoring sandbox escapes - because while sandboxed processes can use queueEvent to fake keypresses they cannot read the output of the uninstaller. The best they can do is, I don't know, guess what the random seed was when it was generating two primes, figure out what the primes were, and queue the key/char events accordingly.
gollark: <@184468521042968577> `is_valid_lua` isn't deliberately bad, but it's also IIRC not actually used anywhere.Also, that person was bundling potatOS with some other project but wanted people to be able to remove it even more easily if they don't like it. This feature does actually work but must be enabled before installation. Weirdly enough factorizing small semiprimes is beyond many users.
gollark: You could say that.
