Always nice to see some of my work getting open sourced! https://t.co/PpkAVCrkjr

@kwharrison13 Welcome to enterprise software, where the people making purchasing decisions don’t have to actually use the solutions they choose. Teams is optimized for those people, not for actual users.

[Arnold Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger]

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.

I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.

My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.

That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.

Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.

I want to tune out.

But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.

And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.

For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.

The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.

It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!

But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.

It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.

We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.

That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.

Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.

And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H

@Kr0zenGG @abbott1636 @svpino This is just dumb. The actual probability of being killed in a mass shooting is negligible. I worry more about twice the rate of deadly car accidents in the US.

@abbott1636 @svpino PTO in the US is something like 20 days in tech and >30 days in Europe.

When Ruby folks brag about 15,000 requests/sec with a hello world demo on a 48 CPU core EPIC processor I have to wonder what they actually think a computer can do because this can be done on a raspberry pi’s single core.

Germany's focus on missile defense appears increasingly detached from reality.

Purely defensive missile defense concepts are failing disastrously in Ukraine and would do the same in any potential conflict involving Germany.

You need to strike back and punish the adversary.

@Lucan_Mor @nicholadrummond The F-22 cannot survive in the Pacific Theatre, not because it sucks but because it got short legs and USAF tankers cannot survive.

After defeating all its enemies, the F-22 will crash into sea after fuel starvation after all the tankers are shot down. https://t.co/4D6KyP7N2t

Oh wow, I got a $125 check from the class actions law suit against Apple for their butterfly keyboard switches.

@cyb3rops You misunderstand what certifications are for. Their purpose is not to increase security, it's to minimize liability. Ideally the two should be positively correlated but I've also seen things go the opposite direction.

Note to self: don't put the AirTag in the RFID blocking passport pouch next time.

@tulpapilled This is the time to ask for a raise.

Quick rewrite:

I’m the CEO of CrowdStrike. I’m devastated to see the scale of today’s outage and will be personally working on it together with our team until it’s fully fixed for every single user.

But I wanted to take a moment to come here and tell you that I am sorry. People around the world rely on us, and incidents like this can’t happen. This came from an error that ultimately is my responsibility.

Here’s what we know: [brief synopsis of what went wrong and how it wasn’t a cyberattack etc.]

Our entire team will be working all day, all night, all weekend, and however long it takes to resolve this and make sure it doesn’t happen again.

We’ll be sharing updates as often as possible, which you can find here [link].
If you need to contact us, the quickest way is to go here [link].

We’re responding as quickly as possible. Thank you to everyone who has alerted us to the outage, and again, please accept my deepest apologies. More to come soon.

[sophie @netcapgirl]

idk what’s worse, that crowdstrike has kernel access to basically every system in the world or that airlines run on windows server

@RikeFranke Getting German passports fer my kids in Los Angeles was so easy and straightforward. Way better than getting passports inside Germany.
