I remember there was a virus that had a tiny cat on the screen and it would chase your mouse cursor. Once it catches your mouse cursor, the computer would crash. It was freaking awesome.
That's based on a harmless Unix game that you can install forks of which on modern day Linux as well, by the way
i have a vencord extension that does that
What's the name of the game?
Probably oneko: https://www.cyberciti.biz/open-source/oneko-app-creates-cute-cat-chasing-around-your-mouse/
The original was just neko. It probably hasn't been maintained in forever though.
There is a webneko that you can embed on your website:

It's just Linux. It chases you and your mouse throughout the fediverse, and when it catches you and you install it, it crashes your computer because the mouse drivers are written by a 12 year old with undiagnosed ADHD.
I've seen 12 year old adhd or autistic kid writing better software than most tech companies
I have had far more driver issues on windows on linux things just work lol
Does windows still reinstall drivers for some hardware when you plug them in, regardless of whether you installed them previously?
I think i have had that happen with maybe usbs but idk about anything else
there was one called neko on windows
Reminds me of Rensenware.
What's it called? I wanna see this
I don't remember what it was called. I was in grade school. I just remembered it was the funniest thing.
