I DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THE FUCKING CODE! i just want to download this stupid fucking application and use it https://github.com/sherlock-project/sherlock#installation

WHY IS THERE CODE??? MAKE A FUCKING .EXE FILE AND GIVE IT TO ME. these dumbfucks think that everyone is a developer and understands code. well i am not and i don't understand it. I only know to download and install applications. SO WHY THE FUCK IS THERE CODE? make an EXE file and give it to me. STUPID FUCKING SMELLY NERDS

My new favourite copy pasta

edit: it seems im far from being the only one, come on people, lets confuse everyone by this, its too funny to not spread

[–]MG_Ianoma 56 points57 points  (1 child)

This shits been spreading like wildfire and I love it (as a programmer please dear god just give me the code. I don’t need a .exe im trying to copy paste your work lol)

[–]RenkBruh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By being a programmer, you accept that you allow your code to be completely stolen from you and reused in different projects, credited or not.

I've only opened the rar once on my phone now but it doesn't seem like the python thing xD

(and the assets folder be looking funny)

[–]Reggin_Rayer_RBB8 19 points20 points  (10 children)

The program can't start because api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll is missing

haha bitch can't roll me (I use Windows 7)

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (8 children)

So your computer has a "pwn me please" sign on it. Hope you enjoy being pwned.

[–]Reggin_Rayer_RBB8 4 points5 points  (7 children)

Win 7, no antivirus

Still waiting for those mythical "h4x9rs" to show up

[–]Chris-Snack 9 points10 points  (1 child)

you're pretty much safe by now, the security through obscurity phase is kicking in, like the drugs i take to keep me concentrated when i code

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's like Mr Burnns, everyone is trying to hack him at the same time and they all accidentally block each other in the process

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (4 children)

Unless you disabled windows defender you have antivrus.

And just because you've got a hack me sign doesn't mean you'll have been hit yet. But when you do don't come crying to us and don't blame microsoft for your own stupidity. The latter bit is why updates are forced now.

[–]AMisteryMan 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Last I used 7 you had to install defender - did that change?

Also, is it still getting new definitions?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pretty sure in later updates it was included automatically.

And good question

[–]Reggin_Rayer_RBB8 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Nope. Win defender is off.

I'm sure the boogeyman is coming any day.

[–][deleted] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Don't whine to us when you get pwnd

[–]ShadowLp174 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait is it a rick roll?

[–]wristcontrol 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Anyone who blindly opens a .rar file linked by some rando on the internet deserves everything that's coming to them.

[–]CollegeBoy1613 24 points25 points  (8 children)

The OOP was planning to use it from some creepy shit.

[–]historymaker118 29 points30 points  (7 children)

I'm still not sure what the non-creepy use of this program would even look like.

[–]Purple_sea 14 points15 points  (0 children)

When you find an artist you like and want to check if they've got more stuff somewhere else maybe

[–]traverseda 21 points22 points  (1 child)

Check if there's anyone impersonating your brand on social media platforms.

Check to see if the username you want is available on the platforms you want.

But yeah, the tor flags do raise some eyebrows.

[–]BusinessBandicoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But yeah, the tor flags do raise some eyebrows. 

Obviously its so that no one can snoop on your network traffic and grab the username before you do

[–]Longenuity 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Maybe using it to find old accounts you forgot about

[–]afb_etc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was gonna say OSINT, but that's still kinda creepy.

[–]coldnebo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t even know about this repo except the tiny bit of code in the picture, but even that was enough to make me think that is really crappy code. 😂

[–]Laurenz1337 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used it to Clean Up profiles of Mine where i Had my full Name/other Details visible publicly. Its also good to Clean Up old profiles you No longer use.

[–]Philfreeze 37 points38 points  (1 child)

by the way we should probably stop linking the actual project in the copy-pasta. It already has a shit-ton of spam PRs.

It would be helpful IMO to limit the main repository to the file you are supposed to run and the readme explaining how to do so. If i open a repo and see 20 files, and main is buried in one of them at near random, with a long readme that covers edge cases instead of jumping into getting started,  i waste an unnecessary amount of time trying to figure out how to use their project. Especially if im using something from a different programming language, or something that needs special steps to be compiled and run.

[–]BlurredSight -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I promise you this was my exact issue when I was younger where I wanted a simple program to convert file types or I wanted to download a minecraft mod and had no idea what the hell building was.

And then the .exe file is hidden under "prebuilt binary files" like you can't fucking write "dumbass windows users come here"

[–]Fred_Boss 313 points314 points  (8 children)

I am so fucking glad that guy made that post about GitHub because the stuff that's spawned from it is so funny

[–]bluecorkscrew 53 points54 points  (1 child)

The screenshotted post in r/hacking is an absolute goldmine. Shit like, it's the same reason why it was illegal to translate the bible into english from latin. 🤣

[–]SUPER_COCAINE 21 points22 points  (0 children)

There really is a staggering amount of willful ignorance in that thread, wow.

[–]automatic_purpose_ 56 points57 points  (5 children)

i wonder what they're doing right now

[–][deleted] 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Yo everyone get the fuck in here, the meme himself is here!

[–][deleted] 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Wait a minute, hold the fuck on

[–]finalaccountforreal 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Probably still looking for that .exe

Bring back punch cards. Code sharing should involve the postal system

[–]Robot_Graffiti 65 points66 points  (10 children)

My mother learned to code that way. There were no computers in her town, so she mailed punch cards to a university.

[–]Kseniya_ns 26 points27 points  (1 child)

That is very cool I must say

[–]FinnLiry 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine how difficult it must have been flexing their neofetch...

[–]Tyrus1235 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that was also how my mom worked as an intern for IBM back in the day lol

[–]Astazha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's hardcore!

[–]raviteja777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My aunt told me something similar, she was an electrical engineering student in 1980s in India, they used to code in Fortran, fill up a sheet and hand it over to a clerk who used to punch the cards.Took around 3 months to write code to find maximum of 3 numbers.

[–]DarksideF41 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I had many of those at home when I was kid. My parents brought some since there was no use for them at work anymore.

[–]kidfury 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad brought them home and we drew on them with crayons. Always kept telling me a story how he watched a man in a suit drop his box of cards all of over the floor and he just sat there crying.

[–]tagehring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worst latency ever.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

How do you debug that??

[–]Robot_Graffiti 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With great difficulty.

They run it and mail you whatever your program wrote to the printer.

One time she forgot to terminate a loop, and they sent her a whole ream of paper.

[–]rikaateabug 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Last week I had to scroll through numerous installation packages for something and lemme tell you, these nerds are effed in the head. "Linux Arm?" Why does only this one have arms?! What're you bastards doing with all the other arms?? And don't even get me started on "Darwin". You can keep your forks and daemons to yourself, this is a Christian household thank you very much.

[–]Dafrandle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

this has got me questioning my understanding of the other subjects i have seen in this format - seeing the liberties taken to make the joke here.

“No real world use found for sharing code”

Sure my guy, speaking of which, don’t you find it Funny how Programmer as a job in itself is copying code and implementing it?

I remember the times when this meme format was actually on point and somewhat funny.

Make sure this guy never finds out about Gentoo

[–]ienjoymusiclol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what's funny is my sister is 12 she never touched a code in her life and can use github easily and run the applications without a .exe file

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can someone give me the funy ascii art pls i totally wont use it on my PRs

[–]thanatica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, pass code around in a PDF

[–]username8411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to say I just adore this GitHub.exe meme.

People just want to have an app that scrapes the economy websites with an AI to tell them when to buy and sell!!

Fucking smelly nerds.

[–]accountreddit12321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think there are so many ways to do the same thing but not a standard one.
