🇪🇺 There's a petition to the EU asking for a European wealth tax to finance the social and climate transition and help countries hit by climate change.

Initiated by Marlene Engelhorn und Thomas Piketty, among others.

💸 Many people want a tax like that and so this could be a success.

🔢 France has already reached the threshold of signatures.

Germany is close but in many countries more signatures are needed.

See https://eci.ec.europa.eu/038/public/#/screen/home/allcountries

✍️ Share, and sign!

"Linux would have prevented this!" literally true because my former colleague KP Singh wrote a kernel security module that lets EDR implementations load ebpf into the kernel to monitor and act on security hooks and Crowdstrike now uses that rather than requiring its own kernel module that would otherwise absolutely have allowed this to happen, so everyone please say thank you to him

Best analysis I've seen of the disastrous failures at Microsoft and Clownstrike" that took down so many vital services: https://www.wheresyoured.at/crowdstruck-2/?ref=ed-zitrons-wheres-your-ed-at-newsletter

"What we're seeing today isn't just a major fuckup, but the first of what will be many systematic failures — some small, some potentially larger — that are the natural byproduct of the growth-at-all-costs ecosystem where any attempt to save money by outsourcing major systems is one that simply must be taken to please the shareholder."

Basically if I'm reading my tech news correctly, Cloud Strife has taken all the windows computers offline? Is that right?

Starbuck's ordering system appears to be down. They sell something like 5 million coffees a day, and that whole system is just down.

Man, Cloudstrike isn't going to get sued over this, they're going to have their heads put on a pike as a reminder for the next ten generations that YOU DON'T DEPLOY ON FRIDAY.

Ok so are we finally going to decide that installing kernel-level rootkits for “security” was a bad idea yet or is your CISO going to be wined and dined at the next RSA into renewing their contract again

While not exactly the same, remember that what is happening with could also easily happen with kernel level software. Giving proprietary software vendors permission to insert whatever they please into your kernel, especially with the ability to auto update it, means giving up all control of your system to that software vendor. One day CrowdStrike, the next Riot Vanguard. Don't let this garbage into your system! A game is not worth losing your system or your data over.

I was caught
In the middle of an update (cloud)
I looked 'round
And I knew there was no turning back (cloud)
My mind raced
And I thought, what could I do? (Cloud)
And I knew
There was no help, no help from you (cloud)
Sound of the drums
Beating in my heart
The blue screen of death
Tore me apart
You've been
Cloudstruck

Raccoons are trying to break into Cybertrucks, and there's some speculation that this is happening because the raccoons are literally confusing them with dumpsters

@TechConnectify there is a point in how people these days keep their shutters closed all the time. this is quite a new evolution, but yeah i can vaguely imagine how someone who has never opened their rolladen since they moved in their shitty one-room apartment can argue how according to them the windows can just as well be gone.

(for context, i usually leave them at 50%. that has almost the same effect as awnings, tho i would prefer real awnings).

also they are a bit less common nowadays, but many condo's here came with four floors, one floor partially submerged. besides humidity issues those had very few natural light; perfect for those vampires among us.

@TechConnectify @yatil The ones in the pic below were popular wayyy back and can still be found in some places, especially in the former GDR. Maybe the rollladen lovers would accept that as a compromise solution lol
