The Great October Tech Extinction

But there are doubts: Many systems will have to be rebuilt from scratch, and there are few Linux experts around. kommersant.rudoc5570730 48 17 237 740 8 Kait i airenni Replying to jakluge You can't throw a political enemy out a fourth-floor Linux, though. 11:09 AM 20 Sep 22 Twitter for Android ProdrammerHumor.io

Ah, the classic "one person wearing all the hats" syndrome. This is what happens when management says "we're streamlining IT operations" but really means "we fired everyone except you." The Squidward multiverse perfectly captures that moment when you're simultaneously fixing Karen's printer, fending off ransomware, resetting the CEO's password for the 17th time this month, and trying to figure out why Microsoft decided to move everything in the admin center again . Pro tip: When asked how long something will take, multiply your estimate by 5 and add "depending on how many password resets interrupt me." Works every time.

The ultimate corporate irony. McAfee, the company that's supposed to protect your computer, managed to crash the entire world with a botched update in 2010. Then their CTO bounces to start CrowdStrike—which is now a cybersecurity giant worth billions. For those who don't know the backstory: that 2010 update misidentified a critical Windows file as malware and deleted it from thousands of computers worldwide. Corporate networks collapsed. Hospitals went offline. Absolute chaos. Fast forward to today, and CrowdStrike is doing the exact same thing but with fancier marketing slides. The circle of tech life continues...

You know you've crossed a line when someone goes from Ubuntu to Windows. That's not just switching distros—that's a full nuclear option. Imagine being so insufferable about your "btw I use Arch" superiority complex that you literally drove someone to install an OS that comes with Candy Crush pre-installed. That's a war crime in the Linux community. The clown makeup is appropriate because you played yourself. You didn't just lose a friend—you lost them to Windows . They'd rather deal with forced updates, telemetry, and the occasional blue screen than hear one more word from you. That's the kind of damage control you can't undo with a simple sudo apt-get install friendship . Let this be a lesson: gatekeeping is a hell of a drug. Sometimes people just want their computer to work without compiling their own kernel.
