Well I haven’t been on Facebook in about a decade, it’s nice to know I’m a cyber security threat.

    Must make it hard for their infrastructure team to discuss work. All of Facebook runs on Linux.

      This particular point really gets to me. It’s almost as if Facebook only wants consumers, no workers. I can’t help but notice that the CEO of Microsoft and Facebook had a seat at the inauguration, but not the CEO of linux.

      I didn’t know that (although it makes sense). That’s pretty damn funny.

    Thinking more on this…

    I guess you could say…

    They’re America’s Arch enemy.

    Good for them. You never know when one of these terrorists is going to go into a building and rm it… or even rm -r the world.

      Let the terrorists learn Linux, and it won’t be too long before everyone is making sandwiches for them.

        Yeah, but what happens if one of them gets close enough to the President to chmod?!

          Just one second there! The President’s executive order clearly states that ACLs are fixed when processes are spawned, we can no longer just chmod the sticky bit whenever we want to…

            Sure, no regular chmod, but what if these violent extremists decide to sudo chmod -R 777 the Constitution?!

              I’m more concerned about chown. If someone figures out how to chown the Constitution, we’re fucked!

        And definitely don’t mention the

        dd -if /dev/urandom -of /dev/sda
        

        I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it…

            Yeh - hyphen are superfluous.

            I’m old… Reckon I have been secretly doing the dd on my own head… Or too much powershell in the day job.

            Eta: the hyphens are there to stop the unwise copypastaing the code and trashing their system - that’s my other excuse and I am sticking to it!

              Jokes on you, there’s no /dev/sd* on my system anymore.

              Just /dev/nvme* and /dev/mmcblk*

              Garbage text follows, I got carried away way too much. No need to keep reading. I mean, no need to even… let’s not write a book here.

              And sometimes /dev/sr* because I like mechanical storage devices. If there’s enough time, I’ll even burn a DVD and boot that rather than use Ventoy. I like the sound and extra work - putting it on the spindle, burning, verifying, marking the disc, waiting minutes for the boot-up and having enough time to read the boot messages. Some DVDs/CDs even had really nice smell, but I don’t know how to identify those.

              Time wasting, unnecessary? Yes, but I like the process.
              Same reason why I pay for Mullvad in cash.
              Print envelope, print payment token, put the cash and token in, close, choose postage stamps to use, wet them with a fine brush (I WILL NOT LICK THEM, YUCK) and stick them on. Then carry it to mailbox and wait for the time to be added. This is slow, expensive and tedious, but I like it. Oh, and I get to see many different postage stamps.

              Today I received more I ordered, and holy shit!!! I got some special unique ones! COVID-19 stamp with 3D effects that can be felt with finger, heat embossed stamp of a not so good former president (but the stamp is only of its kind) and a fucking lenticular soccer-themed stamp (moving image based on angle of viewing) and more!
              My reason for choosing Mullvad… and I fucking got carried away so damn much. Aaaaaaaaaaa…

    I tried this yesterday, I didn’t run into any problems or FB telling me to remove the posts. So I’m a little lost on whom or what this is effecting.

        Good remark … i would believe the other user commenting under this very post that, ironically, they are running on Linux 😁
