Yes, I agree. We definitely need to consider the “nuance” of a situation where business is asked to treat their workers like human beings.

What is complicated? You give two bullet points and a potential solution that all fall under the umbrella of “paying someone.” This solves the problem.

I work for one of these behemoths, and there are a lot of adults in the room. When we began our transition off the prior, well known corporate AV, I never even heard of crowd strike.

The adults were asking reasonable questions: why such an aggressive migration timeline? Why can’t we have our vendor recommended exclusion lists applied? Why does this need to be installed here when previously agentless technologies was sufficient? Why is crowd strike spending monies on a Superbowl ad instead of investing back into the technology?

Either something fucky is a foot, as in this was mandated to our higher ups to m make the switch (why?), or, as is typically the case, the decision was made already and this ‘due diligence’ is all window dressing to CYA.

Who gives a shit about fines on SLAs if your vendor is going to foot the bill.

You got em. The long and storied history of q1, 2024.

Agreed. Coming full circle back to my comment, Putin and Russia are to blame for the unnecessary deaths of Ukrainians, not those who harbour sentiments of “Fuck Putin and Glory to Ukraine”

If the election was illegitimate (you mean he really didn’t get 88% of the vote ?!?), then it sounds like its Putin shitting on Russian citizens. Not sure how my comment is derogatory either.

Yaaa, let’s blame the sentiments of observers for killing Ukrainians, not the genocidal kgb agent and the country where 88% of the voters reelected him…

I’ve thought about this a lot lately, especially since having kids. It really hit me how much non-verbal and indirect communication they pick up on. I want my kids to be good people, better than me, and I worry they are picking up on my short comings.

I think society is like that. We say sharing is good and we teach sharing, but a disproportionate group that takes everything, that is selfish, that puts there priorities above others… that behavior is rewarded, intentionally or not. And generations go by and the behavior is normalized.

I like (and shudder) to think alot of history is a series of these little oversteps that the masters of the universe are laughing about at the time… “trickle down economics, can you believe they are buying this shit?!” And 50 years later, after 2 generations the supporters forgot it was all a scam and are genuinely believers.
