sudo apt-get install your_mom
I tried running it on your_mom and it threw up an error: “No space left on disk.”
I can tell this meme is old because windows does the same shit MacOS does now and has been since at least Windows 10
Nah I use both pretty regularly and I’m fairly sure macOS still makes you do the “nope sorry, press ok, go into system settings, security panel, become admin and click trust this unknown publisher” thing
Windows still just does the same safescreen thing they’ve been doing for ages now: “windows stopped this unknown thing from running, wanna run it anyway?”
I wrote a program (not a virus) on my computer. Windows deleted the exe immediately after I compiled it because it was “an unverified application from an unknown source”.
It didn’t bother deleting the batch script I downloaded from an email that would delete all files if run. Apparently that one was fine.
What language was it written in? I read that Microsoft Defender likes to flag the baked-in runtime of some languages as malware because they commonly shows up in actual nalware.
C#. The language made by Microsoft.
That is incredibly ironic.
It relies on the .NET runtime already existing on the system, so it can’t even be excused as a false positive mistaking an embedded language runtime as malware.
Well that script was ran on enough other computers, so the magic algorithm decided if everyone else ran it, it must be fine.
The script was from a verified source.
Linux: Go ahead and break the system, I don’t care lol

WINDOWS PROTECTED YOUR COMPUTER 🍑
We have detected 🍆 and unverified app attempting to run on
ouryour device and stopped it.you are being protected, please don’t resist.
Satya Nadella: “Whether the users like it or not, I’m going to protect them.”
“Can I delete root directory, please 🥺🥺?”
“Of course 👍”
Me: “Do the thing.”
OS: “no.”
Me: “Fuck you. Sudo do the thing.”
OS: “yes sir. Right away sir.”
That is the way it should be.
Back when I was a linux noob I uninstalled python since I had some package issues. Lol, lmao even
Windows itself is a virus

Nah, it’s one of the virus running there, but not the one they are talking about.
I have no problem running apps from friends or myself on my macs?
Most proper on here don’t know the difference between MacOS and iOS, which makes them actually like the caricature of Apple users they mock.
Shh, don’t stop them when they’re acting superior
The way macOS handles it is literally just exactly how Linux handles it. Makes sense considering macOS is certified UNIX and Linux is technically a re-implementation of UNIX.
This meme is conflating iOS and macOS as the same thing, which they certainly are not.
It’s not. They both expose a POSIX API and userspace, but the underlying architecture is very different. macOS is in part based on the Mach microkernel, and creating a process has a bunch of work related to that.
Even ignoring that difference, macOS has built-in signature checking that suspends a newly-started process the first time its executable is seen.
Well…
If you want to run a desktop app you need to have it signed or jump through a few minor hoops to grant it permission. (Go to system settings, authenticate, allow it, then right-click and select “Open”)
But it’s not like it’s impossible.
Yeah, I remember when I tried to run an app on Linux, and it popped up and said: “Oops, the developer of this app you downloaded from the web hasn’t paid $100/year
in protection moneyfor verification. Guess you’ll have to navigate into your settings and allow running unverified apps for no reason which normal users with poor tech literacy will find burdensome or scary (and have to look up if and how they can do this, because the only options presented on the popup are ‘Move to Trash’ or ‘Cancel’).”You don’t have to defend Apple’s obvious protection racket grift.
Damn, maybe some people don’t know that none of this is hyperbole – or just really love denying reality and slurping down the dick of their favorite multitrillion-dollar corporation’s OS. You cannot claim it’s “just like Linux” when Apple steps in as a middleman to extort developers out of money. Below is what happens to your app when you don’t pay Apple a ransom of $99/year (that’s $100 for all intents and purposes, and I’m going to call it as much instead of playing along with the old-as-dirt ‘99’ psychological trick).
You can certainly compile and run your own apps, you need to pay the developer fee if you want to distribute the software to other people’s Macs or iOS, or use advanced features like iCloud integration or push messages.
This is so dumb. Of course you can run an app coded by your friend. Either your friend can pay $100 a year to notarize their app, or you can pay $100 a year to run his app as a developer. Couldn’t be easier.
Either way, somebody pays Apple $10} a year. After paying them the equivalent of a kidney for the hardware. No thanks.
Remember when people thought you couldn’t get viruses on macOS? I even knew some people who thought you couldn’t get a virus on Linux
i run custom apps on my mac all the time. i write some of them.
The elusive hacker known as 4chan!
It’s almost the opposite of this?
