As a Canadian I would love to see a chinese ship getting pelted with a volley of supersonic hockey pucks and maple syrup containers.

Moobythegoldensock , to world in Mexican president says no evidence of fraud in Venezuela elections

The Mexican president said earlier this week he would wait for Venezuela’s election results to be reported fully before he recognized a winner.

^^ This is a much more accurate description of the situation. Mexico isn’t explicitly backing Venezuela’s regime, it’s refusing to take sides.

cecinestpasunbot ,

AMLO is explicitly rejecting the idea that there is evidence of fraud which is what the article is about. The title is accurate even if AMLO is not taking sides.

marcos , to world in Mexican president says no evidence of fraud in Venezuela elections

WTF is that title? Completely opposite of the article claiming there’s no evidence the result is honest.

cecinestpasunbot ,

What are you talking about? It’s not the opposite at all. The short article just states that AMLO said that there was no evidence of fraud and that he’ll wait until the full vote tallies are released before commenting. That’s basically exactly what the title says.

So he’s hiding behind Maduro’s cyberattack claims used to justify the complete lack of transparency and fudged election percentages published. Ok, I wonder how long they will be able to keep appearances, since Maduro isn’t anymore.

Beaver , to technology in CrowdStrike is sued by shareholders over huge software outage
@Beaver@lemmy.ca avatar

Good make them pay

Mikina ,

While I’m all for holding CS accountable for what happened, thisis not the way how to do it and to whom they should be accountable. If there’s any lawsuit, it should come from the customers who have been affected by the outage, not some fucking investors and shareholders that probably kept pressuring CS for the last several years to reduce costs and increase revenue, that are now scrambling to avoid consequences of their endless greed ruining companies they don’t care about by forcing endless growth at all costs and doing as much as they can to prevent internal investments, because that’s not what makes the line go up.

Fuck them. I hope they loose and have to eat their losses + expensive lawsuit. If CS would be able to actually invest their revenue internally, instead of it feeding pockets of greedy investors who give literaly zero fucks about the product or the service, this may not have happened.

I saw that happen at the cybersecurity company I was working at, when we got acquired by investors. Several milion of profit after costs suddenly wasn’t enough, and we had to reduce already non-existent internal projects or investments, that we have already been lacking to be able to do our job properly.

@avidamoeba@lemmy.ca avatar

I think upon closer inspection you might find that CS’es primary duty is upholding the interests of its shareholders, not the customers.

Mikina ,

I’m sure there’s a lot of CS employees that would disagree with that, unfortunately there’s probably not much they can do about it.

I was just a few days ago giving my two weeks notice exactly for that reason. I’m getting so fed up with capitalism and companies working for the vultures who give zero fucks about what you do or whether you do it well or not, prioritizing profits over actually doing your job well. I don’t care about money, I worked in cybersec out of principle, to help people with their security. I don’t really care about money, as long as there’s job to be done for someone, I don’t really care if the project I’m working on is super profitable for me, as long as it at least breaks even. But no, we had to cut corners, basically scam our customers by selling products we had no qualified people for who barely scraped by enough results for the customer to not notice it. Non-existent R&D or training, because several milions of anuall profit are not enough. Fuck all of them, if I’m ever going to work again in cybersec, it will be a non-profit.

This OP’s article infuriates me, the nerves they have to demand more money for what’s entirely their failure, which they also directly cause in every company they touch. I’m sure that the fact that the failure was so devastating for most companies is also by large margin fault of their investors, some of which are probably also part of this lawsuit, that blocked investment into disaster recovery plans or backups, because their millions of profit per year felt low.

I feel like I’m getting pretty radicalized recently, ugh.

MajorHavoc ,

I feel like I’m getting pretty radicalized recently, ugh.

Joking aside, this place is actually pretty central, politically. It’s the rest of the world that went on a capitalist assholes spree.

(Edit: and honestly, I suspect we will learn there’s a lot of billionaire-funded bots making us feel like the world’s opinions changed.)

“Let’s just accept each other’s pronouns while holding billionaires accountable for their actions” shouldn’t be considered radical ideas, at all.

And yeah, fuck all of these investors. They’re effectively suing the real workers who were left holding the bag after the investors “line go up forever” bullshit came to roost.

avidamoeba ,
@avidamoeba@lemmy.ca avatar

I have no objections to your view for how things should be. It’s definitely not how they are and I think it’s important for people to realize what the reality is for any change to happen.

FaceDeer ,
@FaceDeer@fedia.io avatar

not some fucking investors and shareholders that probably kept pressuring CS for the last several years to reduce costs and increase revenue,

This is presumably part of what would be at issue in court. The shareholders are claiming they were lied to. We'll see how that holds up.

Mikina ,

I really hope that CS will come up with recipes and emails where the board specificly “strongly recommended” that they reduce operation costs or denied internal investments. It probably won’t happen, because such pressure from investors is usually pretty vague, i.e they don’t literally tell you to cut corners, but they strongly suggest that if you won’t somehow increase revenue, you (the management) will have problems. Of course, it’s up to you how you do it, but to meet their often unrealistic demands, just doing a better job while also investing into internal failsafes is often simply not possible. It’s a loss-loss situation for CS, but I really hope they won’t loose this legal battle.

Oh yeah well the CCP drew lines on a map which, like Trump’s sharpie-edited hurricane map, is incontrovertible evidence that what they say is correct.

RandAlThor OP ,

I have not only heard I have seen them. Chinese have the largest military by man power and the largest navy by number of ships in the world.

hark ,
@hark@lemmy.world avatar

You keep trying to dance around the issue of how much the US projects their power across the entire world. Imagine if the headline was “China upgrades military command in Cuba, warns of US threats”.

RandAlThor OP , (edited )

Your reading comprehension is poor. I made zero point about US power. You keep deflecting the issue of your basic error and minimizing the Chinese aggression against its neighbors. Issue is Chinese expansion and aggression in South China Sea, in the straits of Taiwan and Sea of Japan, and how it’s neighbors are now banding together to prepare for this aggression. Your masters the Chinese are dumb because by making threatening gestures towards its neighbors it’s brought this all on to themselves. They really haven’t been smart, if you can think about. But you are a low level worker at a troll farm, and incapable of thinking.

veritetw , (edited )

If US is being serious, it should establish a military base in Taiwan – unless US just treat TW as the next Ukraine.

Note the fact that US never grant TW statehood nor independence. Taiwan is the only pitiful political entity in first island chain that has no US military base, the cost of which TW will be happily to pay.

TW has been buying US weaponry since WWII. But most purchases delayed, outdated or undelivered.

adespoton , to technology in CrowdStrike is sued by shareholders over huge software outage

How does that make any sense? They’re suing themselves….

Shareholders are invested by their money only. If they can sue and win while also selling off their shares they’re going to do it.

FaceDeer ,
@FaceDeer@fedia.io avatar

CrowdStrike (CRWD.O), has been sued by shareholders who said the cybersecurity company defrauded them by concealing how its inadequate software testing could cause the July 19 global outage that crashed more than 8 million computers.

In a proposed class action filed on Tuesday night in the Austin, Texas federal court, shareholders said they learned that CrowdStrike's assurances about its technology were materially false and misleading when a flawed software update disrupted airlines, banks, hospitals and emergency lines around the world.

Basically, the company advertised itself as being one way to the shareholders, they bought in on that basis, and then it turned out they were misrepresenting themselves. Presumably they're suing the company and not the executives personally because that's where the money is.

Note that simply owning the shares doesn't mean that it's already "their money." If I buy a share in a company I can't walk up to it and demand that they give me a portion of the cash from the register. It's more complicated than that and lawsuits like this are part of that complexity.

FlyingSquid , to world in Indonesia raises smoking age limit, will curb cigarette advertising
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I remember seeing a documentary years ago showing that all of the stuff the West was trying to stop cigarette companies from doing in terms of marketing to kids they were doing with no restrictions in Indonesia. Seven-year-olds were shown smoking. So I’m glad they’re working on this issue.
