slazer2au , to linuxmemes in IT outage: banks, airlines and media hit by issues linked to Windows PCs

Windows PC running Crowdstrike.

deathmetal27 ,

Shhh

jmcs ,

The OS getting fully bricked because of a third party software update is still very much a OS level fuck up.

Robin ,

Depends. Since this is security software it probably has a kernel driver component. I think in linux a 3rd party kernel module could do the same. But the community would not accept closed source security software, especially not in the kernel.

bjoern_tantau ,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

They even have a version for Linux, which is a kernel module.

notfromhere ,

Has that been impacted by this?

nightrunner ,
@nightrunner@lemmy.world avatar

No it has not. Validated on Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04, 20.04, 22.04 running CrowdStrike Sensor

My Debian system was bricked when it “upgraded” to systemd.

Required attaching a monitor to a normally headless server to fix. (Turns out systemd treats fstab differently and can hang booting if USB drive isn’t attached.)

Steam, a 3rd party program, has nuked the home directory of users who didn’t really do anything wrong.

Programs have huge abilities to bork systems, be it Windows or Linux…

CaptPretentious ,

I’ve seen RHEL completely crap itself due to a 3rd party update. Wasn’t that long ago fairly certain it was a McAfee update that took down a bunch of our Linux boxes. It happens.

I crossed the road while the traffic light still showed red … twice!

Is it true that is illegal in the US? It’s pretty normal in the UK.

Dirk ,
@Dirk@lemmy.ml avatar

Not sure, but I think so. But it definitely not legal in Germany!

Jay walking, it is illegal in some places, almost never enforced

Jimbo ,
@Jimbo@yiffit.net avatar

Illegal in some states I think. Fun fact when the term jaywalking was introduced, the term jay was a legitimate insult, meaning something like country bumpkin

KeefChief13 ,

I think if you are at a designated cross walk you can cross anytime traffic allows even if the signal isnt walk.

MHanak ,

Funny thing is that in poland the fine for jaywalking is lower than a fine for crossing on a red light, so you can just go around the crossing

I don’t know that they would buy Trump as Pharaoh. For one thing, the Pharaoh had to take part in a ritual called Heb-Sed, which included him running around a ceremonial track.

I don’t see Trump being willing to do that. Which meant goodbye Pharaoh.

frickineh ,

But consider this: a bunch of pharoahs were inbred as fuck, so Trump probably would’ve fit right in as soon as he started talking.

massive_bereavement ,

I'll pay good money to see him running any length.

trxxruraxvr , (edited )

They would consider anyone that needs votes to rule unworthy. They considered the pharaohs actual gods. Trump is just a wannabe.

Death_Equity ,

The premise is that they would vote for him, so that assumes there being a system where he could be voted for in some sort of alternative reality.

Thanks for mentioning and linking Graphene - I was stoked to see the Pixel support. Installing today.

Let me know how it goes! Also recently installed GOS, us newcomers gotta stick together.

sol6_vi ,

It went really well! Stoked this is an option. After muddling through initial config I’ve found it very easy to use. Still a lot to learn this is all super new to me.

Happy to see someone jump on board the GrapheneOS train! Be warned though, the installation will wipe your device, so make sure to do backups.

Warning was noted thanks. Luckily I don’t keep virtually any irreplaceable data on my mobile so installation was fairly painless!

It’s amazing all those people know yet it still stays a secret.

ChicoSuave ,

What she should be asked is what authority is keeping the information hidden and yet allowed to be disseminated across so many people? What reason would it be best left a secret? What happens if it’s aliens, and there is proof that the Maori defended the earth thousands of years ago?

Annoyed_Crabby ,

What happens if Maori is the ancient alien that settled down?

Aurenkin ,

Only until 2063 fortunately. Because that’s the year.

Well then they’re just going to have to be patient and wait.

Wdym, it’s not even technically correct. It’s just wrong.

black0ut ,
@black0ut@pawb.social avatar

He was gifted 400k, just not by BK. The post doesn’t say it was BK, even though it insinuates that. It’s technically correct, but it has a clearly deceitful intention.

dohpaz42 ,
@dohpaz42@lemmy.world avatar

The better way to have worded that post was to say, “A Burger King worker, who never missed a day of work in 27 years, was gifted $400k from a GoFundMe setup by his daughter.”

But that would mean being intentional and using more words. Can’t have that when you want to be spicy and increasing your engagement with ambiguity.

TheDarksteel94 ,

Ah, I see, sorry. I read the post like two times and only now I see how it was actually phrased 😅

Xeroxchasechase , (edited ) to aboringdystopia in What fresh hell is this?

Why didn’t every privacy concerned people switched to foss already?

EddoWagt ,

I know right, I’ve been using CalcYou and it’s pretty good!

fishbone ,

I’ve been on Calculator++ for ages now. The UI looks a bit different, but it seems like they do all the same things.

Tossing it out there as another option.

Xeroxchasechase ,

I love Calc++!

WallsToTheBalls ,

Realistically because it takes time and effort to integrate foss and self hosted solutions a lot people don’t have the energy or know how to do.

Xeroxchasechase , (edited )

You don’t have to be purist, just aware. There’s a lot of spectrum between using foss apps alternatives and self hosting next cloud.

Looks fake as fuck, My calculator app doesn’t need any permission

Diurnambule ,
Shardikprime ,

Congratulations? If you use anything beyond stock apps it means you downloaded it, and accepted the privacy policy for it. Even with automatic updates, you logged in and accepted the policy as well. You don’t want it? Erase the app. Freeze it, don’t use it, whatever.

What’s worse is that you don’t even show the permission menu, you just show a notification.

Do what you want, but take at least responsibility for what you accept

Diurnambule ,

That the stock app from my phone. Since a year the manufacturer started to update stock apps and they started to ask more and more permissions. It reached levels so bad that I am looking at the fairphones but I don’t have the money yet. Maybe in a few months or a year. You are very agressive, I hope you fine and if you go thru hard time, keep the head up it will be better later.

milicent_bystandr ,

In normal Android, I don’t think internet access counts as a permission, nor does basic data collection.

Shardikprime ,

Indeed

Mine just shows this on the store

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/bc2694a0-ab98-4601-8ec2-c1ea7d75fa9b.jpeg

Still

The network access I guess it’s for the currency conversion, but the rest is pretty standard stuff for haptic feedback and memory management.

Nothing strange there at least for me

Typical racist BS theory as a method to delegitimise the Treaty.

Somehow these clowns seem to think if they can prove Maori weren’t the first here, thereforethe Treaty means nothing and can be scrapped.

Regardless of any prior inhabitants, Maori were already here when the Europeans arrived.
