That feels immoral if not illegal

Can someone help me? Is Mr WordPress just snorting a shitton of coke?

I would pay money to keep Firefox foss for other people who can’t afford to do so.

Wrong. Gimme a black woman to vote for and I’ll do it.

I’m pissed because we pissed away the emcumbant advantage but what’s done is done, here’s hoping we get to celebrate the first female president instead of orange Hitler.

Gotcha gotcha, I’ve had to go from zero to hero more times than I can count. It was a mandate at the start ups where I was the sole DevOps guy. It’s been a boon at my large well established company. I’d say I’m not a fan but first I did it I got an unexpected raise so life was good

Homie, I work in IT. I graduated from college with a degree in network security. So please consider that experience as your read my response.

This is a problem caused by companies putting in the minimum of effort to secure their systems and no effort to have a valid server back up strategy.

I’ll try and keep things high level since I don’t know if you’re in the field or not but you sound like you aren’t. In short, a driver (something low level used for an operating system to interact with a piece of hardware usually) got released which was full of bunk data. That caused a blue screen of death. This is a fixable situation you need to reboot your computer into a mode called “safe mode” and delete the bunk driver.

That’s not the problem though, the problem is when you use another piece of security software called bitlocker to enceypt your enterprise equipment AND servers. You can’t reboot into safe mode without a decryption key which most companies store on a piece of server software (called active directory) on a server … which is also using both crowdstrike and bitlocker.

Your data is inaccessible and the best option is to restore from a backup which as we’re seeing, few people have.

This isn’t a cyber attack. This is human incompetence and business greed.

I have contact with someone trying to float the idea because she doesn’t understand tech.

To her, it’s because it’s the biggest IT outage ever and it happened 6 days after the failure to assassinate Trump.

That’s a fair question.

In consideration, take the Jim Crow laws from the USA. These laws enforced racial segregation and allowed for abject racism and abhorrent conditions/treatment of black people. In short, they supported racism.

Now one could say “but the people were the ones to carry it out” which sure, but then we might as well start asking ourselves how much government really matters and other philosophical questions. I don’t think the people are innocent, but to focus on your question, that’s an example of how political policy and laws can support things. The laws enable the legal environment, the people then carry it out.

Gotcha gotcha

People are happy and enjoy eating them so I guess I’m doing it right. How are you making yours?

That’s possible, the statement is a bit ambiguous as to which part they are "whomp whomp"ing to.

Not sure if you mean me by “person you’re replying to” or someone else. I believe it’s someone else but it’s a little bit of a confusing sentence.

Either way, it’s been a fun couple of months since this bullshit started. With all kinds of dumb takes and arguments. It’s enough to make someone say “oyvey”

Holy fuck.

Zionism (the political policy supporting the genocide) is not Judaism. How would I know? I’m a Jew and I abhore the Palestinian genocide. Nothing in the Jewish religion supports what is going on nor does anything in our religion say “go be ZIONISTS and kill people”.

That one no, but there are plenty of leftists in the fediverse that can’t understand the concept of “Zionism is not Judaism.” And saying such gets you down voted because lol.

Thanks I think you’re pretty nifty too. You’re welcome over for latkas anytime

West Taiwan friend. Lesser sounds odd when it’s more populated and geographically larger. Though inferior sounds fitting

+1 to this. I built a few deb packages at a previous company. It was a solid packaging suite but good lord was it a pain to work through

Isn’t the cost of living in Germany also lower than us statie boys?

What is sublinks?

Update: there was a link in the article, thanks though!

Won’t lie I’m getting sold on this via this discussion
