I laughed and my partner ask why. I told her it’s some really nerdy humor. She was fine not hearing the joke, but I loosely explained it anyway. She humored me anyway. She’s a good woman.

God my wife would just stare at me and then go on with her previous conversation.
My boyfriend is completely technically illiterate haha. But he's such a good boy otherwise
I too think your partner is a good woman
I don't understand this partner thing.
Idk why, it just bothers me to hear someone say that instead of girl/boyfriend or Significant Other.
It just sounds so damn clinical.
That said, I also choose this person's partner.
To me, partner seems so much less clinical than "significant other".
Partner is good because it says nothing about gender, which is good if your partner does not conform to a gender binary, but also just if you don't want to reveal their gender either to prevent people being weirdos about it—like they often can online, especially if you say it's your "girlfriend"—or to protect yourself if, for example, you're in a same-sex relationship. But it also says nothing too specific about the status of your relationship. Are they your girlfriend? Fiancée? Wife? Something less conventional? If it's not important to the story, why not leave that detail out?
I had a partner when I opened a computer shop back in the day. Closest I've come to having sex with him was the time I saw his wife topless through the window.
Significant Other is much more specific.
It's also much weirder sounding. You know what sort of partner they mean from context (same as you know if someone means girlfriend girlfriend or a friend that is a girl)
Some languages - specifically Norwegian that I know of, don't have separate words for "boyfriend" and "girlfriend". In Norwegian we have the word "kjæreste" which can be directly translated to "dearest". To me it always feels a little weird to use "boyfriend" or "girlfriend", i guess the same could be true for other non-native english speakers.
Dearest is nice. I'm going to share that with my kjæreste.
My fiancé asked me to start calling her partner because she was sick of being called girlfriend after 8 years
When you get married you can call her your ex-girlfriend
Because she's a woman and not a girl? (don't shoot me, im not english native. But Partnerin is the same)
Personally I (a straight person) use it in an attempt to normalize the term, so that people who want to conceal the gender of their partner have plausible deniability. If all straight people say "girlfriend/boyfriend", then anyone saying "partner" is outed as "a non-straight person trying to conceal the fact".
EDIT: but also, it connotes a deeper level of trust, support, intimacy, etc. A "girlfriend" is some chick I fool around and have some fun with; a "partner" is someone with whom I'm building a life together.
Some old nuts don't like to hear that I've been living with my girlfriend for years.
She's literally the person in this meme
Gotta keep that one around
It's like that guy that posted an example Bitcoin miner on GitHub, then a bunch of script kiddies forgot to change his wallet info for their own before deploying... He made a good chunk of change by doing nothing malicious.
Dream job.
So, essentially, really poorly written malware? Given the number of assumptions it makes without any sort of robustness around system configuration it's about as good as any first-pass bash script.
It'd be a stretch to call it malware, it's probably an outright fabrication to call it a virus.
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-2.0
gives it away...
Yeah, nobody uses cmalw-lib-2.0
Its deprecated, now we use hack-lib-client-1.17
systemd-malwared
and its front-end malctl
are how the cool kids are doing it.
I wasn’t sure about it either
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?
I think it was a fun post about what we go through sometimes just to get X or Y working. It was quite clever.
if youre gonna write linux malware at least distribute it as a flatpak ffs
Scammers these days lack basic courtesy 🤦♂️
A system bestowed upon us by gods.
Sorry, folks. Using cmalw-lib
is now deprecated.
Cool kids are using systemd-malwd
I guess the process could be regarded as gain of function research.
Isn't this just a newer version of this? https://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/evilmalware.html
Even if it were inspired, it is significantly different the way it's written. I've hit these same challenges before, so I'm more inclined to think it is independent discovery.
The newer one is a lot funnier though.
This reminds me of the old linux hater's blog post "At least we don't have any viruses".
That certainly was a blog with many emotions. Coming at this with no context, it looks like the kind of content that would be beautiful satire, except it's probably not.
Linux Hater's Blog was half satire and half honest criticism.
i laughed so hard 😂 😂 😂
