    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

      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.

      Sure, throw people in jail who haven’t committed a crime, that’ll fix all kinds of systemic issues

        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.

      How about holding an investigation first? You know, just to see where the wrongdoing happened and who actually perpetrated it. (It just might have been a bitter developer or something.)

      Also, if people want to use windows, it’s their choice and their consequences. Government and corporate services might do well to consider Linux, but most people don’t even know what a command line is.

        Because they’ve done that countless times before and its always the same. A few motbsh ago there was a senate hearing on ehy Microsoft knowingly caused the Chinese government hacking the US government by deciding not to fix critical security bugs to avoid losing contracts and thus,.money.

        What is the result, every damn time?

        Weeeeewwweee sowweeeyyyy, but the CEO is on it this time! THIS time we won’t fuck you over! That was what, a month ago?

        Meanwhile I say, fuck Microsoft, stop paying for that corrupt badly built spyware shit, switch to Linux, and then I’m the bad guy.

        Edit: judging from the downvotrs here, it’s fair to say that a lotmof people are perfectly fine with paying to get screwed over

        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?

            Are you? Since you’re only able to feign an insult, I’m guessing you’re not the brightest

              I wasn’t only able to feign an insult, I already responded to you that you’re making Linux look bad. You’re definitely a teenager with a small attention span and unable to recognize user names. I don’t actually hold it against you, I’m glad you’re interested in FOSS!

              Your advocacy is simply not effective though, insulting people for their choices may make you feel superior but it sure doesn’t make them feel good. Instead - recognize that other people are equally intelligent, and they make informed choices. As an advocate for anything seeking to sway a neutral public your purpose is to inform them of better choices, and if you do so positively and with charisma, you will associate the subject of your advocacy with said positivity in the minds of the public.

              So instead of all those rants, you could’ve simply wrote a quick and concise:

              " Linux doesn’t have these problems :) (it has other problems) "

              and been updooted to the top.

                Yeah, been there, done that. I’ve been on a Linux desktop for over 25 years now and I’m done with the corporate Microsoft bullshit that I’ve dealt with for over 30 years of my life. If you’re new here, cool. I’m not, my patience is gone. If all Microsoft offices burn to the ground tomorrow I’ll be celebrating. I’ve had so much shit, so much time lost, so many frustrations, I’m done
