If you use a third-party analytics service such as Google Analytics, as almost all serious parties do (with their nice dashboards and reports), then you'll notice Firefox is severely underrepresented because the request never reaches Google

Wonder why they wouldn't use OSM.

Also, Firefox is in a tough situation where they have to purposefully shoot themselves in the foot, because their builtin tracking protection means Firefox usually doesn't show up in a lot of browser usage stats.

In practice, CrowdStrike very likely tests Falcon on various hardware as parts of their tests before shipping updates on it, as it's used by a huge amount of enterprises; and a fuckup like that would mess the trust they've built with those enterprises. Enterprises are trusting them to run ring 0 code on their computer, so they can have a malware-less experience after all.

This is good for Bitcoin

That is an absolute misrepresentation of what I said. My only point is that we should be better than them, not legitimize them.

But I get it, it's easier to shit on slightly dissenting Lemmy users rather than take meaningful action.

Please, enlighten me how you'd remotely service a few thousand Bitlocker-locked machines, that won't boot far enough to get an internet connection, with non-tech-savvy users behind them. Pray tell what common "basic hygiene" practices would've helped, especially with Crowdstrike reportedly ignoring and bypassing the rollout policies set by their customers.

Not saying the rest of your post is wrong, but this stood out as easily glossed over.

Comments like these make me seriously want to leave Lemmy. Some people here are just foaming at the mouth to attack anyone who doesn't conform exactly to their rhetoric, as opposed to just having a normal discussion.

Insulting that previous poster and calling him a bootlicker diminishes and undermines your actual point. I hate Trump and his actions as much as anyone here, but we gotta be better than this and not polarize everything on our side.

Let me preface this by saying I exclusively use Linux on my personal computers.

Holy shit Windows is sooo much easier to use and administrate in an enterprise setting than Linux desktops. It's not even close. It's almost as if billions of dollars have been poured into it to make it the far easier choice for enterprises.

I get the joke of the post and I thought it was funny, but the comments are getting a bit too serious.

Fuuuuuuck

Why would a bot get that wrong? Everyone blames everything slightly odd on bits nowadays...

No you're not, you're quoting in a misleading way, you are drawing your own (incorrect) conclusion that recovering 1b cost 80b which is patently incorrect even in the bit of the article you quoted and you refuse to engage anyone who is poining out that you're wrong using good faith arguments, instead saying you're "just reading and quoting" which is the equivalent of covering your ears and going "LALALA".

One rule could be censoring information that could plausibly out someone, such as the name of a (step?)family-member

I mean, it must be very difficult to checks notes host a static document in a scalable way.

But still, if only they had an asynchronous, distributed way of publishing this information. Like old school letters, only digital. That would help them decrease the load on their infrastructure...

At least one per week, in various ways. Websites that no longer exist, obscure media I want to study... It's great!

You think they're not doing both?

That is patently false. It was developed to help develop the Linux kernel, which famously has multiple decentralized repositories managed by different maintainers.

The fact that most companies use it in a way you describe, with only one central repository, does not mean that git is not distributed.

It's alright. I use both their desktop backup service and B2 extensively. Their desktop client and web interface is very basic and a bit rough, you don't buy their service for the well-developed UI. The service works as advertised though.

The headache comes up when multiple third party repositories start conflicting with each other

Which is traditionally why you needed the distro to package your software...

So, only passwords, right? Not associated with usernames?
