Remember Snowden's phrase:"Saying that you don't care about your privacy leaks because you have nothing to hide, it's like saying that you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say".
I wonder how those .exe malwares "performed" on Wine. Maybe we should submit a compatibility report to WineHQ.
I think the worse is people saying that even if it's a swiss cheese for security and privacy... they don't care because "They have nothing to hide"... scary thinking.
There are viruses on Macs and Linux, just a lot less and probably not as destructive.Linux had the Mirai and BashLite virii/malwares that were used for network attacks. Another "popular" one was a passwords stealer.For Mac's, I had viruses on them when I was in school, they were not even connected to the interweeb.... Hey, I see you rolling your eyes, I'm not THAT old. Grumble, grumble... now where did I put my teeth.@kpanic The more I think about it, adding something in your Comedian joke about a virus would only be fitting. LoLCheers!

You want to shutdown me? Who do you think will miss something, you or me?You want to boot me up? I knew it'd be you who miss something!Now while we are at it, let me help you by downloading 30Gb of unnecessary sh*tto your hard drive, while you can't do anything about it, except feel me... becomingslow and smooth... - for you.Can you do some work now? Oh, I forgot, I must install these too.. Can you wait an hour?Installed, must reboot now, sorry for your work, but without ME, there wouldn't be any.So, now that you rebooted, I have time to "configure" these new packages without youinterrupting me. So sorry that your thesis got destroyed last time, won't happen again.After all, you can always write those 32 pages again.Booting up again? I knew you'd need me motherf*cker! Why don't you sit tight 2 hourswhile I prepare these new updates!Back again, huh? I have news for you. There is an upgrade package waiting for downloadingand installation. And I'm truly sorry some of your applications won't work any more after that butthose are important updates and your sad apps will go by default.So, are you ready to upgrade now or shall I auto-upgrade when you reboot?Do you want personal advertisements or ads which are random? Yes or no?Do you want me to send all of your personal information, metadata of all of yourfiles, all of your network activity, all of your contacts etc. directly to some authoritiesor do you want me to send only partial information, yes or no?(Stupid user, I'll send everything anyway).By the way, accept this Legal Agreement!Do you agree these 200 pages of Legal Text or not? You should say Yes ifyou want to use this piece of crap machine ever again!Cool, there is a new upgrade waiting to be downloaded, configured andinstalled,... man I love to live in his hard drive! I don't pay rent, he paysmy rent if he cares about his system at all.And I am the one who prevents malicious software to be installed onhis hard drive - where do these people come from?
