...and don't get me started on the stupid shit they "fix" while a certain network glitch seems to climb from one major version to the next...
Security breaches among other things have happened before through auto-updates
sometimes they're even accidental...
That's only true if you assume that the updates are always a good thing, and this crowstrike situation proves they are not.
and this was (presumably) an accident. What happens when a malicious actor intentionally puts a backdoor or other nasty surprise into an update?
and I wont even get into the elitism of "the idiot consumers" attitude, lol
I disagree. in a business environment, you should be testing updates before you deploy company-wide, and this crowdstrike fiasco is a good reason why.
lol. I stopped updating when every single goddammn update was pushing win10 on me, and my machine literally could not upgrade ( I tried multiple times, and every time, it ended up rolling back).
Then I found out about the crap win10 was phoning home (and their bullshit excuse that it was just "telemetry data," which by the way is a meaningless phrase), and how they were going to force updates, and I said "fukkit, linux it is"
...and now I occasionally remember to update, lol.
not defending crowdstrike, but auto updates are a bad idea in my opinion.
millions of people that had their day ruined over this.
..well, small upshot, it made the last half of my shift a little easier...I basically fucked off for the last two hours of my shift.
The remote folder for the router I was working on was unavailable, so I just cleaned up and fucked off from 1:17 am till sometime after five when I left, so I cleaned up and basically fucked off for the rest of the night, lmfao.
it's their speech advocating for depriving others of their speech specifically.
put it this way. if someone is just an asshole and gets banned, yep, absolutely, defend them. if Harold the Happy Hippy gets on and talks about the "greatness" of communal living, yada yada, sure.
but when someone goes around demanding others be silenced for words they say and then gets hoist by their own petard? sorry, I'm not gonna actively try to get them banned, but I'm not gonna waste time trying to get them unbanned, either...
see, this is where it gets sticky. though. If you advocate for freedom of speech for those who want to destroy freedom of speech, are you effectively protecting the principle?
I think I agree with tim pool on this one; these people don't want freedom of speech, whiy should we force it on them?
some soldiers on meth.
um...
...it wasn't just the soldiers... pretty much the whole country was high as a kite on meth...
think you mean the windows is shifting...eh? eh?
...yeah, i'll start empying out my desk...
see, even that is a huge sea change in hollywood, though. Jack Black likely will lose some jobs for apologizing, but if he thinks he'll lose his career if he *doesn't apologize is a massive cultural shift in and of itself.
I'm sure they exist, but unfortunately none of them are DEI hires...
and also, none of them are under 80 most likely...I don't even know if there are any hand drawn animation courses left int he west...it's all been outsourced since the 80s...
yeah...it definitely had that problem...but it felt like a transformers movie...not just because they actually got peter cullen involved (though that definitely helped), but it had the right tone and the stakes felt right as well
...honestly, my biggest gripe with the bayformers was it was the same basic plot five times in a row...and that was when I just stopped caring...at some point, not matter how many gimmicks you add to it, it just grows stale...
well, when you combine it with men's overall out-group bias, you get closer to the truth;
>humanity favors women over men
honestly, there's evolutionary reasons for it, but it can cause problems sometimes...
the talk page on yasuke is a total shit show...
wwwwweeeelllll....we've got a kernel, we've got a shitton of code that's been abandoned, we've got the creators of that code being muscled out... what we need is somebody to push the snowball down the hill and keep it going in the right direction...somebody who will happily laugh in the face of the Cancel Club and show them the door when they bitch...Basically we need a leader with a spine...a common problem with the "Right Wing" of politics these days...
...Shame there isn't a Donald Trump in horn-rimmed glasses to Make the Kernel Great Again, lol.
I haven't dived into the legalese, but is there any reason the Kernel itself can't be forked?
...am I the only one who noticed the mention of Gizmodo?
somebody really needs to inform him who gizmodo used to be a part of the network of <Significant Glance at board name>
fair enough, lol
honestly, I was just making sure man. I'm glad you have some idea what's going on
sidenote: speaking of the the debate, I have a theory on biden's "you said hitler had some good ideas" comment...
At some point in previous elections, biden probably expected to debate bernie sanders, and I'm pretty sure bernie did say that Stalin had some good ideas. I'm wondering if that was a talking point he prepped for bernie, and between his broken brain, the drugs wearing off, the extreme stress and the fact that, let's face it, biden lies as naturally as a fish swims, he didn't transpose that argument onto trump with hitler.
yep, once a year, their permafrost melts slightly, lol.
even if it wasn't Japan, "shit rolls downhill" is a saying for a reason, lol.
