after reading all the comments I still have no idea what the hell crowdstrike is

We're all going to be so smug.

It's proving that POSIX architecture is necessary even if it requires additional computer literacy on the part of users and admins.

The risk of hacking (which is what Crowdstrike essentially does to get so deeply embedded and be so effective at endpoint protection) a monolithic system like Windows OS is if you screw up the whole thing comes tumbling down.

Is there a chance that this makes organisations move to Linux?

This is exactly why centralisation of services and large corporations gobbling up smaller companies and becoming behemoth services is so dangerous.

Its true, but otherside of same coin is that with too much solo implementation you lose benefits of economy of scale.

But indeed the world seems like a village today.

Me too. Additionally, I use guix so if a system update ever broke my machine I can just rollback to a prior system version (either via the command line or grub menu).

Is there an easy way to silence every fuckdamn sanctimonious linux cultist from my lemmy experience?

Secondly, this update fucked linux just as bad as windows, but keep huffing your own farts. You seem to like it.

I would be too, except Firefox just started crashing on Wayland all the morning D;

For reference, this was the article I first read about this on: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/bank-problems-reports-bnz-asb-kiwibank-anz-visa-paywave-services-down/R2EY42QKQBALXNF33G5PA6U3TQ/

Me too. I'm also grateful I still accept cash.
