Well I haven't been on Facebook in about a decade, it's nice to know I'm a cyber security threat.

Must make it hard for their infrastructure team to discuss work. All of Facebook runs on Linux.
- This particular point really gets to me. It's almost as if Facebook only wants consumers, no workers. I can't help but notice that the CEO of Microsoft and Facebook had a seat at the inauguration, but not the CEO of linux.
  
  Linus Linux wasn't invited.
  
  No "almost". Employees are expensive.
- I didn't know that (although it makes sense). That's pretty damn funny.
Thinking more on this...
I guess you could say...
They're America's Arch enemy.
- YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!
Good for them. You never know when one of these terrorists is going to go into a building and rm it... or even rm -r the world.
- Let the terrorists learn Linux, and it won't be too long before everyone is making sandwiches for them.
  
  Yeah, but what happens if one of them gets close enough to the President to chmod?!
  
  This comic is unrealistic. It didn’t ask for the Root password.
- or even rm -r the world
  Just don't tell them about -f.
  
  And definitely don't mention the
  
  dd -if /dev/urandom -of /dev/sda
  I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it...
Well linux is kinda evil because it runs facebooks servers...
- Is that bsd tux?
Save us Michaelsoft Binbows!
I tried this yesterday, I didn't run into any problems or FB telling me to remove the posts. So I'm a little lost on whom or what this is effecting.

  Says it was lifted.
Real threats are :
Facebook, instagram, twiXtter, mic$soff_winDoze, etc ...
- I’m guessing facebook’s servers must be running on… windows? 🙄🙄🙄🙄
  
  Good remark ... i would believe the other user commenting under this very post that, ironically, they are running on Linux 😁
