It's quite funny that in the midst of the crowdstrike thing yesterday, someone tweeted - afaict as a shitpost - that southwest were unaffected due to running windows 3.1. Then digitaltrends published that claim using the tweet as a source, and are now being quoted themselves as a source.
AFAICT, it's entirely bollocks. Same with the claim they still run Windows 95, that's from the same lazy digitaltrends article, misquoting another misquote from 2 years ago.

@edavies @neil @revk Wales got rid of them in part because the cost of the paperwork and the cost caused by serious medical events from people who didn't take their meds due to the cost vastly exceeded the revenue the fees contributed.
The paperwork side only shrinks though - you still have to manage stocks, fund pharmacies and all the rest of it.
However when it costs many thousands a time just to deal with an emergency asthma admission caused by "can't afford inhaler" it pays pretty fast.

From Ukraine, with love!
Chernobyl reactor no. 4, a 3D-printed humidifier that looks EVEN BETTER in person.
Can't wait to misunderstand the controls and fire this sucker up!!

Unusually many acorns on this oak this year. And unusually many ants.

The more you understand computers, the more you value systems without them.
I drink so much carbonated beverages that pretty soon my carbon footprint will exceed that of Taylor Swift.
Yesterday ended well. Today was so hectic I didn't get a chance to look at the Moon, but I assume it might have changed a bit.
Can't simply boost from my instance, but this post on AI source data quality is important https://circumstances.run/@davidgerard/112814393953471895

oh boy
AI is useless shit. it's essentially the same as crypto: hype but the substance is less genuine tech advance and more a certain class of tech bro buying in on ethusiasm, the only difference being the mark for the con job is FAANG rather than sad randos playing a casino
AI is going the way of 3D TV

if we ever discover (fossils of) life on mars, we're definitely gonna give it a binomial nomenclature name with "bowie" in it, right?
This is how today started. The cumulus (those fluffy clouds) are fine, but the cirrus behind them mean the weather will change. Probably for worse.
Not sure what to do now. A post appeared in my feed. My instance has issues with showing complete threads so I went to the original site to get context. The post I saw here was edited and is much better now, but it didn't update here. If I now boost it from here, will my followers see edited post or the old one cached here?

Concerning CrowdStrike:
We are now at t+26h. Please compare how much we knew about the xz-attack after less than a day with what we know about the chain of events of giant outage yesterday.
If something similar had been caused by an OSS component, we would see congress discussing a ban on open software in critical infrastructure already.

I have no idea what happened here, but it eerily resembles some code I've seen recently. Switching the power off and on a few times might help.
