All the principled pirates have jumped ship to lemmy so it was bound to happen sooner than later.
You must log in or register to comment.
Out of curiosity, is our megathread the same as theirs? If so, it might be time to make our own independently of theirs.
With blackjack and hookers?
So we aren’t using an unauthorised copy?
How baller would it be to pirate a piracy megathread
Disappointing tgat we arent when you put it that way
Check the wiki. We already have our own
Least controversial day on Reddit.
I just now noticed it says tumoil instead of turmoil
Nah OP pulled an edit
Love the recruiting that you all are doing in there.
Let no crisis go to waste :D
one person’s footgun is another’s opportunity lol
- Microsoft Crowdstrike and Linux
- Unity and Godot
Crowdstrike is not owned or in any way in a business relationship with Microsoft, offers the software that caused the issue for Mac and Linux as well, and in fact caused similar issues on specific Linux Distros a few months before this recent cock up.
The issue only effected Windows OS machines that were running the Crowdstrike Falcon endpoint protection software, which runs at ring 0, kernel level. This presents the same potential for causing boot loops in all OSes due to the nature of running software that deep into the guts of things. The only caveat is that some Linux Distros have separation preventing things from running at that low level, and apparently so does Mac OS.
The update was not pushed out through Microsoft, as many are incorrectly repeating. It was a malware definitions update which was downloaded automatically by the Falcon software itself, without any configuration options available for admins to stage and do partial rollouts for testing.
Also, I significantly doubt that any company is going to do a complete overhaul of its IT architecture to switch over to a new OS for end user devices, when the simplest solution is to just switch to a different endpoint protection software. I’ve worked half a decade in an enterprise architecture type position, that simply isn’t how things work in this world.
Thanks for linking the Reddit thread. I tried to do my part to spread the word. The more people talk about Lemmy on Reddit, the more people users will switch.
Of course getting people over from reddit is nice, but honestly the exact same thing can happen here as well. We’ll always depend on the integrity of the people with mod status.
I read that the (banned) member joined reddit a short time ago, I wonder how he became a mod

Least corrupt reddit mod
Oh shit that’s not good. I suppose it’s bound to happen, though. Money talks.
Could happen anywhere

I honestly see no reason to use Reddit for its Piracy Megathread. Lemmy’s user base is much more friendly, helpful and the Megathread here is the same (if not better) organized than there.
Not only that, I remember there was quite some problems among the mods on Reddit. So I’m not surprised something like this happened. Once there’s a slight fracture, it’ll slowly but steadily get broken into pieces entirely.
I don’t see much decent content on both Piracy and PiratedGames subreddit anyway. Majority is memes, ‘is this safe’ and spam posts about empress.
I mean…Aint our admin also the former main mod of the subreddit?
Yes
The megathread is here if anyone is wondering
The fact that even happened tbh is insane tbh, but I’m so glad that people are now jumping ship tbh esp what the dumb decisions Reddit has made in the past couple of years.
You are being very honest
From now on, unless I see three declarations of honesty, I’m going to assume they are being at least somewhat dishonest.
tbh I tbh think you’re lying, tbh
TBH, you got me. TBH, I’m never going to remember their username, TBH.
Looking through their comment history, they proclaim their honesty quite often, it’s pretty funny when you’re looking for it 😆
I’ve now tagged them so I’ll remember that they are very honest:
My reply to to be honest is always oh, were you lying before?.
Usually gets a confused laugh.
What happened last night??
Man, what a joke Reddit has become after the 3rd party exodus, seems like most good subs went to shit.
IMO this has nothing to do with the 3rd party stuff, stupid mods getting scammed for $800 has nothing to do with Reddit decisions
Well if all the good mods leave and you only have the bad ones left or people who come in just to profit, you get this.
Luckily this lead us to Lemmy and the Fediverse, which – in my opinion – is more akin to Aaron Swartz’s original vision.
He would’ve had a Lemmy instance running secretly in a server closet somewhere on the MIT campus.
it was never a matte of if. only when
fuck reddit lmao
