This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

when you interact with something on such a deep level, for me i'm a linux enthusiast and computer hardware nerd. I know quite a bit about computers, networking, operating systems and malware. These things are just second nature.
Basically all implementations of these things in movies, shows or generally any media at all, is pretty inaccurate, unless it's not the direct focal point, in which case it's "accurate enough" because it literally doesn't matter and could be some obscure implementation of something.
It's like if you hired someone, who doesn't know anything about that particular job position, to do that particular job (because that's literally what happens more of the time) they just pay someone to "make it happen" and it does, and it's often not very accurate.
When it does happen accurately, thank god they hired some weird grey beard with archaic knowledge on unix and historically relevant hardware setups, because holy shit does it add SO much to the media.
