gollark: It's an Electron app, they probably cannot introduce actual problematic bugs like remote code execution.
gollark: I'm running an outdated Discord app to avoid the bad fonts so no.
gollark: Not only are they steganographically embedding identifying data in documents you print, or running out of ink or printing wrong at inconvenient times or requiring DRMed ink cartridges, but the drivers are moderately bad.
gollark: I have always said printers couldn't be trusted.
gollark: Why not just use `os.listdir` or whatever?
