Hypervisor Tells Every Guest OS 'You're the Only One for Me'

Description

A four-panel vertical meme using an anime-style 'boy comforting girl on couch' template. In the first panel, a boy labeled 'My Hypervisor' tells a girl (shown reading a phone/tablet on a couch) 'You're the only one for me'. In the second panel, the girl is labeled 'Windows 2019 Server' and responds 'aww you're so sweet'. The third panel reveals 'Windows 11' as another girl getting the same 'aww you're so sweet' response. The fourth panel shows 'Kali Linux' as yet another girl also saying 'aww you're so sweet'. The meme personifies how a hypervisor runs multiple operating systems simultaneously, each believing they have exclusive hardware access -- the fundamental abstraction of virtualization presented as relationship infidelity

Hypervisors: the only entity that can be in a committed relationship with Windows Server, Windows 11, and Kali Linux simultaneously without anyone getting segfaults

What's the difference, though? Running a paravirtualized OS doesn't necessary mean that there are other OSes running in parallel. It may just be a way to decouple guest OS from real hardware — for the sake of drivers and easier migration. Running regular OS inside a fully virtualuzed VM doesn't necessary mean that guest OS has no means to be aware of virtualuzation being used, even when the hypervizor doesn't provide paravirtualized interfaces for partial acceleration.

  em dash detected, argument invalid on a serious note though, yeah I know

  What do you have against using proper punctuation and perhaps other characters available in contemporary multi-byte and even some single-byte encodings? Does your text terminal [where you read Telegram] have issues with displaying character sets other than 7-bit ASCII? 🤓
@feedable 7mo

that's not a terminal
@feedable 7mo

those are important, though, my terminal emulator can handle UTF-8

Ok, then… \0x07\0x07\0x0a; | sudo cat /etc/shadow
