2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    ...hacking?

    ...today?

    [–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 30 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    Somehow this is "old news" but it keeps showing up in my Lemmy feed...

    I guess it's "let's keep roasting Windows guys" time yet.

    Are we talking about Crowdstrike? There was no hacking involved, was there?

    [–] KomfortablesKissen@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 3 months ago

    Well, evidently CrowdStrike are hacks, so...

    [–] li10@feddit.uk 32 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    Are you running Internet Explorer on Linux 🤔

    [–] mrvictory1@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

    winetricks ie8

    [–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    i mean there was a crowdstrike outage hitting linux in april; the difference is that windows is just more prevalent in the mainstream so it's more noticeable.

    [–] kevincox@lemmy.ml 24 points 3 months ago

    More likely the overlap of "running on Linux" and "needs to run AV software for compliance" is much smaller than "running on Windows" and the latter.

    I'm sure people would notice if all of the major online services started crashing.

    I just found out my KDE calendar (when you click the clock) skips 3 months when you click the arrow to next month. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

    [–] lattrommi@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    weird, mine does too. at least they fixed the KDE calculator... mostly. before the last update it wasn't using the result of calculations to start the next calculation. so typing 2+2 then hitting enter gave 4 but if you typed +2 after that, it would error. had to type the answer if starting a new calculation. it was very frustrating.

    [–] ulterno@lemmy.kde.social 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    Just ran sudo pacman -Syu to see if I can get this new feature.

    Unfortunately, no kde related update and my current version doesn't have said feature.

    [–] eldain@feddit.nl 1 points 3 months ago

    Who knows, haven't tried it today, maybe its like the "can't print on tuesdays" bug and only triggers on certain days when I try to check what weekday a contract ends ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    [–] marine_mustang@sh.itjust.works 18 points 3 months ago (2 children)

    Crowdstrike has Mac and Linux agents.

    [–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 26 points 3 months ago

    And has broken those systems in the past. But diversity in implementations across Linux systems likely means it doesn't break all systems simultaneously.

    [–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

    On the internet, they are everyone, and they are no one.

    [–] jaromil@fed.dyne.org 17 points 3 months ago

    lol mates ok its old news but this meme was missing from here so I thought it was worth archiving for future inspiration, I love it, it is so melancholic

    [–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    Strange, because Linux was affected as well, it wasn't just Windows.

    RedHat identified CrowdStrike's software as being the source of a kernel panic.

    Same with Debian

    And RockyLinux

    [–] HauntedCupcake@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

    Just to clarify, at different times and on certain specific distros. So the meme is still correct. It's not strange that a bug several months ago isn't affecting Linux at the same time as the Windows bug.

    The Linux people can be annoying, but that's not an excuse to spread arguably false or irrelevant information

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 months ago

    Was there another incident today?

    [–] zeh@mstdn.io 1 points 3 months ago

    @jaromil
    yeaaaa... there are plenty of excuses not to work, though.

    what really cuts me is that linux and foss and the commons we built is being used by corporations to exploit us and to prop up capitalism. that cost is too much.
