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:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I remembered back in the day, there was a virus where a small cat appeared on the screen and chase your mouse cursor. If it caught your mouse cursor, the computer would crash. It did no other damage. It was great fun.

On Linux we have a harmless version of that: Oneko.

It doesn't work on Wayland. We need to go back.

Might just have to install this on the work computer today!

I did this once and it was quite funny. But because I work with text and the cat blocks the characters behind it, it got also annoying.

Yeah, same with text here. I tried the option to sit on top of the window in focus too, which is nicer. But as much as I love my non-maximized windows, my setup at work is a bunch of 1080p monitors. So even with terminal windows it works nicely to just fill the left or right half of the screen.

That sounds like a puzzle in Mega Man Battle Network
