All our servers and company laptops went down at pretty much the same time. Laptops have been bootlooping to blue screen of death. It’s all very exciting, personally, as someone not responsible for fixing it.

Apparently caused by a bad CrowdStrike update.

Edit: now being told we (who almost all generally work from home) need to come into the office Monday as they can only apply the fix in-person. We’ll see if that changes over the weekend…

best day ever. the digitards get a wakeup call. how often have been lectured by imbeciles how great whatever dumbo closed source is. “i need photoshop”, “windows powershell and i get work done”, “azure and onedrive and teams…best shit ever”, " go use NT, nobody will use a GNU".

yeah well, i hope every windows user would be kept of the interwebs for a year and mac users just burn in hell right away. lazy scum that justifies shitting on society for their own comfort. while everyone needs a drivers license, dumb fucking parents give tiktok to their kids…idiocracy will have a great election this winter.

So when’s the last time you touched some grass? It’s a lovely day outside. Maybe go to a pet shelter and see some puppies? Are you getting enough fiber? Drinking enough water? Why not call a friend and hang out?

Yeah, I agree with the sentiment, but this is pretty intense.

Literally every program you outlined here are not Windows exclusive. If you let people lecture you on this shit that’s on you.

While I get your point on the over reliance on Microsoft, some of us are going to be stuck spending the whole day trying to fix this shit. You could show some compassion.

no. after decades…not anymore. again and again. there is no good excel, apple users are not “educated”. just assholes caring about themselves and avoiding the need to learn. i did not yet hear any valid argument.

why not show compassion for driving bmw series 5 without a drivers license around kindergard?

i’m seriously just done with every windows,android,osx user forever. digital trumps. thats all they are. me. me. me.

So what do I tell the doctors who can’t care for their patients when I start work today? That it’s their fault leadership chose the software they did? Or do I swallow my pride and put the patients before everything else? Personally, I’m going to choose the latter as the patients wellbeing comes before my opinions about my hospitals choice in software.

See you’re way off the rails now.

Stallman? Is that you? Did you slip your cuffs?

You kinda went off the rails, there.

It’s fun to dunk on the closed source stuff, but this is a release engineering thing that isn’t the fault of a software license.

Render unto Caesar, dude.

It’s a nice rant, but it also combined government regulation and monocultures and indolence. You should cut that up into several different rants, bringing out the proper one in a more focused spiel for a timely and dramatic win. The lack of cohesion also means you’re taking longer to get the rant out, and if it’s too long to hold focus you’ll reduce your points awarded for the dunk.

Otherwise, lots of street-preacher potential. Solid effort.
