gollark: - it doesn't do anything *else*, so it just loops infinitely and will eventually crash with "too long without yielding".
gollark: Well, the problem is this:- you only set `state` once at the beginning of the program- it's probably `true` then- it goes into the `if state == true` branch, which only sets the `txt` variable
gollark: Sandboxing is actually pretty hard if you want to make most existing programs work about the same (but sandboxed). But Firewolf doesn't really have that excuse.
gollark: There are probably other holes.
gollark: But the unsafe bits were *removed*, instead of safe bits being *added*, so eventually `openTab` got added and it didn't get updated and so you can now execute stuff out of the sandbox on advanced computers.
