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.

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.

Can confirm, just wish other people around the fediverse would realize you can adore and speak out against Israel without being antisemitic. To clarify I mean that can you speak out against genocide AND that you don’t have to say shit like “fuck the Jews”.

Been fighting that bullshit since Israeli Trump started his genocide.

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

Yeah that don’t track. I poop on company time and walk away with a pampered butt thanks to my bidet. Feels fantastic and clean.

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