Major IT outage affecting banks, airlines, media outlets across the world
  • The fact that they can fuck up this bad and only lose 20 percent is kind of hilarious. Major infrastructure across the world is on its knees because of their fuck up. If that's not enough to kill them then nothing is.

    Edit - when I checked they were rebounding, only down 11.3 percent today now. I guess the stockmarket has determined that this fuckup isn't so bad.

  • IT outage: banks, airlines and media hit by issues linked to Windows PCs
  • Agreed on both counts. This happened because Microsoft made adoption easy. And this will be fixed within a day. None of the fundamentals have shifted. Even though it's stupid, this isn't going to fundamentally shake anything up.

  • Microsoft to Copyright Pi, Found to Contain Entire Arial Font
  • Similarly: if you write a program to randomly run through all the combinations of pixels on a decently large screen (say, 1080p) you will eventually see every important question and answer that can be expressed on a screen.

  • I trust the guy that coined the term "enshittification" a whole lot more than the politicians who have been enabling it, anyhow.

    Cool so he has your vote. Who else? As expected the people who want Biden to bail at the 11th hour have no actionable plan.

  • Get a Grip, Democrats. You Can Still Win This | Washington Monthly
  • This is pure delusion. A rushed primary now does not in any way guarantee a win. The process will be chaotic and uncertain. The army of shitty oped writers will go to work asking "what do we really know about ____". They'll dig up innocuous shit from their past that make good headlines. After all of that the favourable a and hypothetical polls will not count for much. Acting like Biden stepping down is a sure way to win had no basis in reality.

    Should he have announced he wasn't going to run a year ago ? Yes. But we're past that now.

  • Blonde bad bitch with big shoulders rule
  • I love how Rey could have been an example of how the force can manifest in anyone . But instead she's Palpatine's granddaughter so never mind turns out it's just hereditary lol. They had it all setup and then fumbled it.

    It's kind of amazing how shitty episode 7-9 are. The franchise made a profit on momentum alone.

  • Biden says America 'must not go down this road' after Trump assassination attempt
  • Agreed. He's old AF and lives on McDonald's - death isn't that far off anyways. More to the point, everybody dies . Death isn't justice. Everybody dies. The only way for America to heal from what he's done is for him to see the inside of a jail cell. That possibility seems increasingly remote.

  • Chin up, small Kings!
  • It would quickly degenerate into a contest to say the craziest shit possible. It might seem like we're already there, but right now there's an established level of crazy required to stay in the MAGA camp. If Trump has died the desperation to fill the void would crank it up to 11.

  • Lawyers for ‘Rust’ armourer move to get case dismissed after Baldwin trial collapses
  • Even if Baldwin wasn't the one holding the gun, even if was in the hands of a completely different actor, he should have been charged as part of the Producers for failing to provide a safe work environment.

    Then you're advocating for a fundamental change to way America manages workplace safety. If Baldwin hadnt been the one to pull the trigger he would never have been charged in a million years. Criminal charges require some level of intent , including involuntary manslaughter or negligent homocide. Unless you can find communications that show that the producers knew the workplace was unsafe and purposely didn't take action (not acting sufficiently probably wouldn't be enough), no charges were even possible.

    At most the family of the deceased would have had a strong civil cause of action against the production company, because that's how workplace safety is handled in 99 percent of cases in the US. That civil liability can then be quantified, analyzed, and insured against. I'm not saying this is a good thing , but criminal charges for company owners have never been how these things have been handled.
