Pretty clean, I’d say. At least on this install.

Blamemeta,

Lies. I see no .porn folder!

AffineConnection,

/usr/local/share/porn

Octavio, in Oh no ...

That’s interesting I’ve been on Mastodon for just over a year and nobody has mentioned Linux yet.

pewgar_seemsimandroid, in Id like to build my from source

AceFuzzLord, (edited ) in Oh no ...

Totally depends on the instance. There are definitely furry communities here in Lemmy and they definitely feel lonely. But I have heard of some furry mastodon instances that actually are lively and active. No idea if they actually are since I don’t have a clue why I can’t access my mastodon account, let alone what instance I signed up on.

But active non-Linux, non-Star Trek meme groups definitely are a thing, despite how small they are.

I compiled Firefox from source on my laptop for shits and giggles one time. Poor i3-5005U took a good 24 hours to do it

The problem appears to be connected to your bank account and can only be fixed if you buy some apple gift cards…

Set up a fake Windows VM to fuck with them

XEAL,

There was a very custom theme for Gnome 2 that made it look like Windows XP…

FartsWithAnAccent,
@FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world avatar

That might be even funnier, but there’s still a chance they’re proficient enough that they could cause problems once they realized what was happening. A VM would help mitigate the chances of that.

YouMayBeOntoSomethin,

Obvious answer is to do both: A VM of a Linux desktop skinned to look like Windows XP

westyvw,

There was a good version of windows 7 set up for this. Command prompts wouldn’t work right, and really messed with them if you gave then access.

I let one in once and managed to reverse the remote desktop and took over their computer.

That was fun.

Fucking with scammers is a public service.

Kitboga, please relog back to your account.

Arthur_Leywin, in Oh no ...

That sounds like a skill issue.

paddirn, in Oh no ...

I mainly only use Linux with my SteamDeck now, but I’ve made use of it at various other times in the past, so I’m semi-familiar with it. Kind of the same boat though, I’ll see memes about it and I’m just like “Heh hehe heh…” ¯_(ツ)_/¯ “I don’t get it.”

I have pretty minimalistic setup.

Three dropdown terminals, managed by a bash script: top for quick commands, left and right for nvim.

Bar is i3bar, with a custom status program written in Nim language (can display any command output with conditional colors).

If it’s sending information to Microsoft then it has clearly been hacked. Likely by Microsoft. It was very nice of that young man to break protocol and blow the whistle on this whole thing. You should send him an itunes gift card as a thank you.

FQQD,

Microsoft? More like Hackrosoft!!1!!

Blackmist,

But I’ve sent all those to the CIA!

Evil_Shrubbery, (edited )

These are the same people - CIA just outsourced their call center to India & they have to send all gift cards back to the CIA, you just cut out the middleman.
