Sure, throw people in jail who haven’t committed a crime, that’ll fix all kinds of systemic issues
Comment on Some bad code just broke a billion Windows machines

Also:
Crowd strike should be held responsible, and with that I don’t mean the developmers who were forced to do this shit, I mean the ceo, the CTO.
Jail them.
If you are so critical you better not fuck around and I can guarantee you, they were fucking around, pushing bad practices, etc. why do I say that? Because its lways like that
That comp ay should be dissolved, the C suite jailed.
Also, STOP USING WINDOWS FOR DESKTOP FOR FRACK SAKE. Switch to Linux already, I’m getting tired of having to read this shit.
If you’re using windows for servers then you deserve your place right next to those C suite guys and gals

If you make decisions (typically focussing on profit over anything else) that causes so much disruption, time, and money (not to mention the possibility of risking lives), then yeah, that is a crime.
As always, if I do something like that, I get jailed. If a CTO causes it,.it’s cost of business,.let’s hand slap the company, and act as if nothing happens. Fuck them, you get paid for this. You fucked it up, you get to he actually be held responsible.

Crowdstrike took Debian and Rocky down earlier this year due to a bad update… Linux is not immune.
phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
And?
Debian is a FREE (as in beer) AND a free (not as in beer but as in freedom) system maintained mainly by volunteers which has an actual focus on us, the end users.
Microsoft, on the other hand, makes us pay through the nose for shit systems that all have focus on Microsoft, NOT on the end user. If you make me pay and spy on me and serve me ads, then at the very fracking least I expect you to take responsibility when you fuck up, and paye for my lost time and money. However, as windows fracks up just about every week, Microsoft would be bankrupt within a month if they’d have to do that.

Y’know, I’m pretty deep in the FLOSS brainrot, but as someone who: A. Daily drives Fedora and Debian B. Works for an MSP and deals with Windows daily
Most companies cannot afford the productivity, monetary, or labour hour investment that is involved with changing to a whole new OS and re-training all of the workforce. Thats even if you ignore that switching to Linux generally also involves changing some percentage of programs that are used for business critical processes.
I love Linux, but it’s not meant for every situation

Keep dreaming. Maybe next year Linux on desktops will increase by another 0.2% and you can post hundreds of articles about how the “age of Linux” is coming… again.

You make Linux users look bad. Please cease.

To be fair this seems to be the sentiment on most Linux and linux-ancillary forums.
Which while wrong and ignorant on multiple levels, seems on brand none the less.

What is wrong with saying that a paid product that is far inferior to a free (both as in beer and freedom) product should be dropped in favor of said free product when said paid product has embarrassing failures, scandals and abusive behavior on pretty much a weekly basis?
How long ago was it that Microsoft testified in front of Congress after deciding they weren’t going to fix a security hole because the negative press would cost them contracts (and thus money) which resulted in China successfully hacking the US government? A month or so? What did the Microsoft dipshit say again? Oh yeah, THIS time (after all the previous times) the CEO would be on top of security, weally! And more importantly, weeewe sowwyyyy, we won’t do it again.
Yes yes yes, this is a different provider, who cares? Its a core product that is only there because their system is so badly Designed in the first place.
These are.paid products and millions if not billions of machines went down and I’m the bad guy for saying that this is not acceptable and that people should drop that paid spyware and anware shit for Linux, which is free and a hell of a lot more reliable than this windows crap? YOU ARE PAYING MONEY FOR THIS, YOU STILL GET ABUSED AND THEN ITS STILL NOT RELIABLE! WHY DO YOU A ACCEPT THIS BULLSHIT? what is wrong with you?
phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
Why?
Seriously, why?
Linux is a free system with a fraction of the daily / weekly issues that Microsoft has. Its Been like this for literally decades now.
Microsoft Sella expensive paid systems that spy on us and still feed us advertising. This week, Microsoft and vendors caused likely billions of dollars in damage. Will there be any consequences? Nah. Even better; If I say stip using Microsoft software, I’m a bad guy!
Just a few months ago, it came out that Microsoft consciously decided not to fix critical security hugs resulting in hacks in the US government bu the Chinese government. There was a senate hearing in this where they weally weally promised this time they would behave. I said the same back then, install Linux already and got the same responses, I’m making Linux look bad!
So I ask you… HOW? How exactly am I the bad guy here, why isn’t everyone shitting on Microsoft and it’s providers for fucking this up so so wonderfully bad, AGAIN…?
And mind you, we all pay for this shite. Why hasn’t anyone there hone to jail for causing shit like this by making decisions that obviously knowingly would cause this shit?
But yeah, you’re riiiiight. I make Linux look bad, and we wouldn’t want that, now would we?
