CrowdStrike effectively bricked windows, Mac and Linux today.
Windows machines won’t boot, and Mac and Linux work is abandoned because all their users are on twitter making memes.
Incredible work.

Honestly it is kind of hilarious, with how many people I have had make fun of me for using Linux, and now here I am laughing from my Linux desktop lol
Sure, this time it only affected Windows computers, but Crowdstrike has also broken Linux installs this year:

most Linux "Users" would'nt be that stupid. it nearly always takes a noob in a CEO position (okay, just saying CEO is sufficient here) to blindly trust malware distributers and their ads.
Sure but I'm not using their software. I'm careful about what I allow to have kernel access on my machines.
