For those who are wondering, yes, Wine is malware compatible so be careful about the EXEs you run!
This is why I always test suspicious files on my work issued PC.
You’re the reason my Mondays are always chaos
Then you’re not going to be happy with me deploying work production code via my dedicated porn box…
I feel like, for some weird reason, nobody on lemmy knows how meme templates are supposed to be used.
It’s like watching my parents try to meme and I’m here for it.
you mean because of the last two panels which are supposed to be the same? I personally prefer this version, it always bothered me reading the same thing twice which didn’t add much to the meme
The double take is the meme though…
it doesn’t have to conform to the exact format to work
If it doesn’t conform to the format, you should pick a different one that it does conform to and use that instead.
What if they couldn’t come up with a different format (even tho I may know different formats to use here I sometimes simply don’t know their name (to search for their templates) or I’m just lacking the mental capacity to think of a more fitting one :')
its like retelling a joke you heard but leaving out the punchline

[Gru, the long-nosed protagonist of the “Despicable Me” franchise, presents to the camera, pointing into the air and smiling. Behind him is a flipchart with text reading:]
And the best part about using Linux: No viruses!
[Still presenting, Gru has his hand in a C shape and his head down as he peers at the gap between his fingers. The text now reads:]
Look at this, a website downloaded a malicious .exe on my machine.
[Gru now has his hands pointing down, fingers splayed, still presenting. The text now reads:]
*Double Click*
See? Nothing happe…
[Gru looks back to the flipchart in a double-take, his eyes round and wide and his mouth downturned. The text still reads:]
*Wine is launching*
[The Wine logo: a slightly tipped wine glass with red wine sloshing inside it.]

And saw the line break and thought “Wow. That was a good transcription.” I think I need to go back to bed.

This happened to me not long ago when I found a monero miner running on my laptop. Being a highly technical person, I feel unbounded shame.
How did you figure out it was running? How did you confirm? Teach me your methods
Please
You really don’t think Linux has viruses? I’m confused by this post. Is it an excuse to shit on wine and windows?
They’re super rare. I’ve not gotten one once in decades, whereas I’ve encountered countless viruses on Windows. Linux is more secure, but also it’s just a smaller target. Best way to avoid viruses is to use an OS nobody else wants to use *taps head
