Crowstrike offers staging like this.

The update ignored the stagings set up by the customers.

We tried to fight against having to install Crowstrike on our Linux servers but got overruled by upper management without discussion. I assume we are not the only ones with that experience in the world due to the need to check a checkbox for some flimsy audit.

I agree that the code is probably poor but I doubt it was a conscious decision to crash the OS.

The code is probably just:

1. Load config data
2. Do something with data

And 2 fails unexpectedly because the data is garbage and wasn't checked if it's valid.

Problem is that software cannot deal with unexpected situations like a human brain can. Computers do exactly what a programmer tells it to do, nothing more nothing less. So if a situation arises that the programmer hasn't written code for, then there will be a crash.

We have the policy that we play as long as no more than one player cancels and their character is considered to never have existed for that session (important story items are of course transferred to a present character). Works quite well.

I fixed a bug in an open source project we use and got into trouble for it :|

I guess for him comparing someone to Hitler is a compliment rather than a warning.

In Germany we say "If you want to murder someone, do it with a car". It's infuriating how car drivers get away with it or get incredibly light sentences for maiming or killing people by using a car here.

Which apparently needs an account just to use it and a subscription to use it well. Don't think something like that can be a lord and saviour over LaTeX.

Most Video Games work on Linux these days.

Anti-Cheat software is usually still a problem though due to their invasiveness that cannot be handled easily.

We and our 692 partners (vendors) collect and process personal data (such as IP addresses or device identifiers) for the purpose of displaying personalized ads and measuring our advertising success.

No thanks.

I wonder which license they are going to use. Is it gonna be just an open source one or full-on FOSS?

My grandma was the same. Made me never touch coffee because she was scary before her morning coffee and I never wanted to become like that

This saddens me. The comments of the animes I watched usually had some interesting trivia or background information that I had missed.

Same thing that happened at Boeing.

Openstreetmap is really good...except for the detailed information about shops which is why I still use Google Maps if I need to know opening hours and other information.
OSM is just not widespread enough to be on the radar of shop owners to put their information on it themselves so volunteers have to do it. :/

This is extremely dangerous to our democracy!

Same happened to me when I tried to sell my old powerline network adapters. Sign up, put them up for sale, 2 minutes later I get a mail that I'm banned without a reason given.

I still have those adapters lying around somewhere...

They seem pretty chill if you're willing to share your space and food with them

That sounds like extortion though.

There is also the fact that Covid infections decrease intelligence even if you didn’t get long Covid.

Had it in 2022, dealt with issues well into 2023. I'm mostly good by now again but I certainly feel dumber and find it harder to concentrate.

If one does that, be prepared to defend yourself against the copyright infringement lawsuit that's coming your way eventually.
