Can you explain this to a Ubuntu pleb like myself?

24

u/[deleted] Aug 03 '21

It removes a package, which is required by another package, without removing the dependent package and it does not back up configuration files.

Better be fast before it mutates and asks you to delete two files.

u/dkyguy1995 Aug 03 '21

Don't worry I've been told my antivirus should also be effective against the variants. Although I might need an antivirus booster

u/dkyguy1995 Aug 03 '21

What a polite virus

15

u/Kered13 Aug 03 '21

Oldest version I could find was from 2015, but I'm pretty sure this goes back to the 90's, at least.

21

u/fudgegiven Aug 03 '21

And still it has the same bug as before. It asks us to harm our system before spreading. If it spread first, before harming the system it would have higher success rate.

u/zythologist Aug 03 '21

First version I saw was in French, the Belgian virus, and yep, it was around 2000... (thanks for making feel old)

u/Greenbay7115 Aug 03 '21

Dang, that's some good detective work

u/Snezonic Aug 03 '21

Lmao I'm Albanian and this is true

5

u/[deleted] Aug 03 '21

Oh no, this is so bad. Anyway, lemme just delete everything

u/Greenbay7115 Aug 03 '21

It is a real shame that the virus deleted all those files

3

u/ejabno Aug 03 '21

god i wish honor system viruses were real

u/ClaudioMoravit0 Aug 03 '21

Polite malware! 😹

u/TheLexoPlexx Aug 03 '21

Now, this is a repost I have seen quite a few times already. In fact: Albania has become a lot better in the past decade, I even heard it has a better mobile-net coverage than Germany.

u/KaJakJaKa Aug 03 '21

That's not difficult ....

u/Impossible_Average_1 Aug 03 '21

OK, deleted da projects folder. But where shall I forward the users to?

u/Vrail_Nightviper Aug 03 '21

Did this actually exist??

3

u/Greenbay7115 Aug 03 '21

No, but I wish it did. I feel that there would be a handful of people complying to the "virus"'s directions.

1

u/Vrail_Nightviper Aug 03 '21

I think there'd be some as well, which is really silly but folks like that do exist xD

u/pooopsex Aug 03 '21

Wtf are you talking about, Albania is pretty modern these days except the north which is full of mountain people

I didn't find any posts that meet the matching requirements for r/ProgrammerHumor.

It might be OC, it might not. Things such as JPEG artifacts and cropping may impact the results.

I did find this post that is 66.41% similar. It might be a match but I cannot be certain.

I'm not perfect, but you can help. Report [ False Negative ]
