      Somehow this is “old news” but it keeps showing up in my Lemmy feed…

      I guess it’s “let’s keep roasting Windows guys” time yet.

        Are we talking about Crowdstrike? There was no hacking involved, was there?

    i mean there was a crowdstrike outage hitting linux in april; the difference is that windows is just more prevalent in the mainstream so it’s more noticeable.

      More likely the overlap of “running on Linux” and “needs to run AV software for compliance” is much smaller than “running on Windows” and the latter.

      I’m sure people would notice if all of the major online services started crashing.

    I just found out my KDE calendar (when you click the clock) skips 3 months when you click the arrow to next month. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

      weird, mine does too. at least they fixed the KDE calculator… mostly. before the last update it wasn’t using the result of calculations to start the next calculation. so typing 2+2 then hitting enter gave 4 but if you typed +2 after that, it would error. had to type the answer if starting a new calculation. it was very frustrating.

      Just ran sudo pacman -Syu to see if I can get this new feature.

      Unfortunately, no kde related update and my current version doesn’t have said feature.

        Who knows, haven’t tried it today, maybe its like the “can’t print on tuesdays” bug and only triggers on certain days when I try to check what weekday a contract ends ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    Crowdstrike has Mac and Linux agents.

      And has broken those systems in the past. But diversity in implementations across Linux systems likely means it doesn’t break all systems simultaneously.

    Strange, because Linux was affected as well, it wasn’t just Windows.

    RedHat identified CrowdStrike’s software as being the source of a kernel panic.

    Same with Debian

    And RockyLinux

      Just to clarify, at different times and on certain specific distros. So the meme is still correct. It’s not strange that a bug several months ago isn’t affecting Linux at the same time as the Windows bug.

      The Linux people can be annoying, but that’s not an excuse to spread arguably false or irrelevant information
