I donāt regret switching to Linux.
The fact that critical business infrastructure has no control over their update schedules, and that ALL businesses around the world get impacted in one slide, is total insanity.

When I looked into Azure certification, thereās a lot of emphasis on understanding contract guarantees and terms, and the difference between 99.9% uptime and 99.99% uptime.
Those āguaranteed uptime termsā are kind of meaningless for businesses when compared to this chaos.

Well this pretty much demonstrates that humans are too fallible, and that the AIās should be given control over our wellfare. 
Judgement Day is nigh.

Iāve seen Judgement Day in the theater as a kid, and remember being quite scared of SkyNet. These days, I guess they would be regarded as an amibtious little startup company.

Thatās the most scary thing about all this. There was already āwriting on the wallā about how CrowdStrike doesnāt test crap. (apparently Debian and Rocky Linux wasnāt even in the test tables when that happened)

ā¦averted by leveraging systemdās Automatic Boot Assessment functionality.
With the systemd-boot bootloader and related tooling within systemd and leveraging the Boot Loader Specification, systemd Automatic Boot Assessment would make for much easier recovery in case of an incident like what happened with Microsoft Windows systems running CrowdStrike software last week.
The only problem? Major Linux distributions arenāt yet onboard with using the Automatic Boot Assessment feature.
The above CPU was the heart of my first computerā¦
ā¦Iām getting old.

Who Pays for the CrowdStrike catastrophe? If you believe their Terms of Service, not CrowdStrike. But thatās not how the law of Gross Negligence works.

For starters, the developers recently introduced the branding for COSMIC, in which the āOā represents open source, signifying their commitment towards the same, with them openly embracing the community for taking COSMIC forward.
I must say, the O in the logo reminds me of Wall-E.
Set to be Wayland-only, COSMIC will have support for X11 apps, and will feature some extensive customization features such as app theming, window styling, advanced window tiling, and more.
Thereās also a suite of Rust-based native COSMIC apps that will tie together the whole experience, creating a unique ecosystem, thatās open in nature (Apple can learn from this).
