| gokuldas | In reply to @telegram_293342249:tchncs.de
By design antiviruses run with max permission right. A good kernel design would have isolated that. Regardless, have you heard of them before? When did they become big enough to crash half of the world's IT infrastructure while remaining incapable of properly testing a release before pushing it? | 14:41:59 |
| gokuldas | Anyway, the nice thing is that all affected machines are to be rebooted in safe mode for repairs. The second best option recommended by MS is to reboot the system - up to 15 times! | 14:43:18 |

Windows getting borked was Crowdstrike's fault right as a commercial OS and considering their market monopoly can they simply refuse to take any responsibility saying it's a third-party issue? | 15:03:15 |

as a commercial OS and considering their market monopoly can they simply refuse to take any responsibility saying it's a third-party issue? Imo its for the experts to say. This could very well happen to linux systems too right. | 16:05:07 |

Imo its for the experts to say. This could very well happen to linux systems too right. yes, but it's more than just microsoft vs linux. the corporate culture is to pay someone so that they can blame them when something goes wrong. this is different from community culture of collective ownership. | 03:47:18 |
 @arunm:matrix.org | I would see this more as a problem of centralisation. It would happen to 'linux' if redhat or Ubuntu become the 'linux'. The free software has an inherent mechanism to counter it to some extent. But doesn't guarantee anything. Policies like anti trust are also to mitigate these kinds of situations. Again technology has changed so much we need to create new frameworks to prevent centralisation of power. So it is Just another free market failure. | 04:06:10 |

Again technology has changed so much we need to create new frameworks to prevent centralisation of power. So it is Just another free market failure. I was discussing this in a group as soon as the news came out. Even if a similar rollout had affected Linux, the fact that there are different distributions would prevent a total collapse. Each distribution would push the change at different times (Debian even has a testing phase). So the most leading edge distribution would face the problem and report it - early enough for others to respond.
The previous case of xz backdoor is also interesting in this regard. The backdoor, while serious, didn't affect many distributions. | 05:18:54 |
