This is.. clearly a meme..
I wasn't sure about it either. There's security researchers out there who might genuinely want to get a virus to run in a VM.
But yeah, the
cmalw-lib-2.0gives it away...Yeah, nobody uses
cmalw-lib-2.0Its deprecated, now we use
hack-lib-client-1.17systemd-malwaredand its front-endmalctlare how the cool kids are doing it.Not too long ago, when Fracturiser was a concern on Minecraft, and I read up on it, I got a chuckle when I read that stage 2 was a systemd service, and therefore couldn't have run on my machine even if it had gotten that far (of course, I still checked for signs of infection)
systemd haters will moan and groan about 'bloat' and 'unnecessary end-user hacking libraries' smh
It ends with them donating money to the malware's creator...
Yes, that is odd, but not impossible either. I've seen influencers do dumb shit like that for the attention.
So you’re saying it’s about as robust as a typical Linux application then?
"It works on my machine"
He said the thing!
Packagers job to make it fit their distro, innit?
As a package maintainer, it's a lot of fun sometimes!
I bet, both ironically and genuinely, depending on the cade. Flatpak must feel like a godsend to a lot of people haha
I've actually never used flatpak, I still prefer distro-specific package managers
Flatpak is really nice imo. You can have stable distro with up-to-date apps. And sandboxing for proprietary stuff, which is really nice.
Username checks out
I think it was a fun post about what we go through sometimes just to get X or Y working. It was quite clever.
I know your shitposting, but I used to run into shit like this all the time back when I used to try to run Loki software games on Linux back in the day. Within 6 months all the games I had were un-fucking-runnable.
It's still a thing now depending how crazy you want to get with your system (let's pretend you don't run Linux on an x86 system for example - good luck lol)
