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.

gollark: PotatOS has `persistent` for that. Nobody uses it, because it's in PotatOS, and honestly not that good. https://pastebin.com/jE4guV48You need to explicitly save it because I found out that any other way was very very hard to do, and kind of wasteful.
