I remember people groaning in the CS lab in college when they realized they hadn’t locked their machine before walking away for just long enough to let someone install sl.
Logging in on the high school computers there was a way through some folder tree into the wallpapers of all the teacher accounts. Boy did we have fun with that, they never found out who did it though
I am a menace around unlocked computers. Was at a job and found a colleague who left his computer unlocked and had customer information open in a co working space on his screen. Set his computer language to hebrew before locking it.
Another time in college I found an unlocked computer in a library. Set their profile picture to Chris Chan with an overlay image saying “#ThisIsMyAuthenticSelf #Unafraid”. On this system, the user was not likely to see their own picture, but other people they contact will.
sudo apt install slThank me later

They left a root session open? Then they really deserved it.
Oh, maybe it was just the sl binary downloaded somewhere.

You used to be able to set a web site as a background on windows XP.
I used that to terrible effect
I used to set default webpages on display models in stores to direct competitors sites.
Make sure to add “Defaults insults” to /etc/sudo while you’re at it.
