Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    I really don't want to be the guy responsible for this fuck up

    For a company this big it would also have to have gotten past a code review and QA team, right? ... right? ...

    I guess Asia can report the problem on Sunday and I'll get a nastygram and fix it that afternoon.

    Of course, of course. This is how these things are always done.

    Yeah, something this big is absolutely not one engineer's fault. Even if that engineer maliciously pushed an update, it's not their fault

    it was a complete failure of the organization, and one person having the ability to wreck havoc like this is the failure.

    And I actually have some amount of hope that, in this case, it is being recognized as such.

    I agree but they will still blame it all on that one guy.

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    This is an industry wide issue. This is just the first symptom.

    [–] [email protected] -1 points 4 months ago

    Yeah and that means they won't nail some poor schmuck to the wall over this?
