Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

This is going to be a class action suit, and it’s going to put them out of business, which is good and proper in this context.

Kind of like what happened with McAfee! Just don't look up

Who was CTO of McAfee when an update bricked millions of computers by deleting svchost.exeGeorge Kurtz, the CEO and co-founder of Crowdstrike

It’s just so insane to me that c-suites are able to fail upwards after catastrophic failures like that.

Incidentally, the guy who’s in charge of Google’s search division these days is the guy who was in charge of Yahoo’s search division during the period of time when the went from neck and neck for top dog to “I guess only Japan uses us now” 🤭

Or they will be bailed out, like they always are.

Naaahhhh, this isn't JUST a greedy fuck who wandered in to muck and needs a haul out. This is a greedy fuck who got in the way of other greedy fucks stealing their bag.

The other greedy fucks are at least going to make sure to draw a little blood.
