I just had a popup on Chrome that claimed to be a ransomware. I was prevented from closing the window and my computer was getting very slow. I was afraid it was this WannaCry ransomware shit so I quickly shut down my PC and disconnected the internet cable.
I booted back my PC and everything seems fine (files are accessible, Chrome works just fine, system’s speed is normal) and I’m now performing a full system antivirus scan to be sure. Upon opening Chrome history, I realised the popup page refreshed itself probably 1000 times in a minute which I think is why my computer was very slow when it happened.
I suspect it was just a fake ransomware popup no different than those security alert popups. Still, I’m afraid of one thing: Would it be possible that it was a real ransomware but that I shut down my computer so quickly that it didn’t get the chance to fully install itself on my computer? Therefore, would it be possible that it encrypted some of my files without me knowing it? I can’t afford to spend the many weeks it would take to open all of my files one by one to see if everything is alright.
Pic not fully related as I don’t remember fully what was written on the popup as I shut down my computer very quickly.

probably scare ware dont worry about it
I believe the pop-up doesn't show until it's encrypted everything already. That way you don't shut your computer down mid encryption and still have access to some files.
So if it were real, no, you're still fully fucked.
Pull the drive from the computer and put it into an external enclosure to read from another computer. See if you can still access your files.
sometimes malicious ads will start fucking around on your screen to occupy you while it tries to download an autorun file
i've seen it a couple times, mostly when looking for porn on piratebay back in ye olden days
you made the right choice, just hard reset before it can download the file and you should be fine
if you are paranoid, run avast or something, if you are EXTRA paranoid, reinstall your OS

All you need to know about systemd is that ironically systemd wouldn't be able to exist today if we had been using systemd's design philosophy on GNU/Linux from the beginning.
In other words, we'd be stuck with outdated technology and only able to replace it if we create another monolithic init system that interacted with everything in exactly the same way systemd does.
Systemd is basically exploiting the flexibility of its predecessors to kill the flexibility we have in the area of init systems. People might like it now, but we're walking into a walled garden.
After systemd becomes the standard and everything depends on it systemd will never receive any competition because it would be an extremely monumental task to try and create a systemd alternative.
All the newbies here support systemd because it "just werks". But using things just because it works is a very Windows mentality.
They're forgetting (because init systems isn't really on their radar in the first place) that the reasons we all use GNU/Linux in the first place is for flexibility, being able to do things _our_ way not the way someone getting paid to do their job decided we should do it, and design philosophies.
Systemd is the exact opposite of all of that.

Hi /g/, CS major here.
I recently landed an internship at a large international company for the summer. It's not a tech company per se but parts of the company is completely dedicated to development and that is where I'm headed.
The internship is not in the country where I go to school so it's pretty cool to be able to live for a summer in another country and it pays pretty well. I'm pretty excited.
Now, I just got an email from my supervisor for the summer telling me to look up some frameworks to prepare. These were Salesforce Lightning and Salesforce Einstein.
Lightning seems to be some JavaScript cuck-tier UI-framework and Einstein is some AI stuff; haven't looked too much into that one yet.
Basically /g/, did I just get hired as a Pajeet? Please tell me good things can come from developing cross-platform meme phone apps in JavaScript and tell me this Salesforce thing is actually somewhat decent.
>>60432844
Care to elaborate?
The important thing is that you are aware that you are one. One of the good pajeets.

Is that the only thing that was lost? If so, then I would rejoice with VNs.

Nyaa.si won anyway. Just the fact that you have to pretend it doesn't exist makes it clear.

Once again, Linux proving that is not better than Windows in terms of security and that its attack surface is just as nasty if not worse.
>tl;dr
New Ubuntu version that has made the change to systemd a while back has a security flaw in login screen that can let anyone access your files, olders versions that use upstart are obviously not affected.
>Canonical has already pushed out a update that temporarily disables Ubuntu guest session logins (so if you noticed it was missing, that’s why).
Enjoy your shitty wannabe Windows registry linux faggots. Real Unix systems like MacOS or *BSD don't have this problem.

This corporate culture, the goddamn open spaces, the department leads, the office managers, the daily meetings, the staggering incompetence of supposedly educated people, the coffee breaks and overtimes...
I'm not sure if I can tolerate this shit any longer.
How many of you work for big companies and enjoy their jobs? Would you quit if not for the money you get?

Worked for the IT-service department of a Fort 500 for 2 years, almost ended up shooting up the place, now unemployed because I refuse to work with people and middle-management again
It doesn't get better in other areas of work either

This. People are fucking stupid in general, regardless of where you work. My best advice is to save every penny, live like a pauper, and cash out early.
Or start your own business if you're not totally autistic.

Tor or VPN?
What do you use? Should I even use both?
If they do both the same thing and I'm a poorfag, isn't tor enough?
Both serve completely different purposes.

How is the comparison between GIMP and Photoshop really?
If I'm wanting to work on editing photos and sometimes even animations, can GIMP satisfy making that process relatively simple or am I better off just shelling out for PS and After Effects or something?
Photoshop is much better, but just pirate it.
>>60432528
That's what I heard but I also heard Adobe was cracking down on piracy of their products a lot harder lately, is that true?
>>60432503
>work
GIMP will suffice for making a meme or two. It'll allow you to edit a gif, or to alter a palette. But if you want to "work" - subscribe for Photoshop.
If you want to draw something as a hobby - pirate Photoshop.
You probably can draw/animate decently in GIMP if you're willing to spend a shitload of time learning and scripting for it, but so you can in Paint + Movie Maker. Photoshop is just a much better, faster, intuitive and powerful tool in comparison. It's hella expensive though.
