    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

        And?

        Debian is a FREE (as in beer) AND a free (not as in beer but as in freedom) system maintained mainly by volunteers which has an actual focus on us, the end users.

        Microsoft, on the other hand, makes us pay through the nose for shit systems that all have focus on Microsoft, NOT on the end user. If you make me pay and spy on me and serve me ads, then at the very fracking least I expect you to take responsibility when you fuck up, and paye for my lost time and money. However, as windows fracks up just about every week, Microsoft would be bankrupt within a month if they’d have to do that.

          Y’know, I’m pretty deep in the FLOSS brainrot, but as someone who: A. Daily drives Fedora and Debian B. Works for an MSP and deals with Windows daily

          Most companies cannot afford the productivity, monetary, or labour hour investment that is involved with changing to a whole new OS and re-training all of the workforce. Thats even if you ignore that switching to Linux generally also involves changing some percentage of programs that are used for business critical processes.

          I love Linux, but it’s not meant for every situation

            And a lot of times it actually isn’t that hard. I’m currently the CTO of a medium medical company and we will transition to Linux over the next 2 years. All the work will be browser based, you don’t need windows for that. Hell, you don’t need windows for anything, except a few inhouse developed apps, which you can restructure to Linux yourself.

            A lot of times it’s more lack of will than lack of ability, even though the wins are right there for the taking
