CrowdStrike's Falcon Sensor also linked to Linux kernel panics and crashes

I'd like to see a proper journalistic investigation into every other EDR sensor on Linux as well. I really hate it when supposed journalists look for an angle and pursue it without critical thinking.

But they could be right, they may have an issue in their engineering department recently.

Speaking of,I wanted to mention a slightly related observation I've had recently scrolling through twitter (unfortunately) looking for information on this crisis. There are a lot of people who at least know enough technical jargon to probably work in IT or technology but they're using arguments like "it must be because of a DEI hire", for those who are unaware they're using "DEI" as a replacement for a hard-r N-word. In other words, I just learned that blatant racists are not a rarity in our corner of the world. If you're not one of them, I wanted to inform you of what they really mean. Fortunately I haven't seen this on HN so far :)

There is a certain type of tech person (well, they probably exist elsewhere, but the tech variety is particularly noisy) who seems absolutely determined to use this one every time a company does something stupid; there seems to be an odd unwillingness to blame _process_, rather than some sort of imagined individual saboteur (who would, preferably, in the minds of these people, be someone other than a straight white man).

A particularly extreme example, to the point that it almost read as parody; when the door plug blew out of that 737, there was a certain amount of fixation by the weirdos on Twitter on how the pilot was a woman. Quite how this was supposed to have anything to do with it was unclear.

The whole thing is pretty weird, and feels quite new. Sometimes, a poorly-run company is just a poorly-run company.

>The whole thing is pretty weird, and feels quite new.

It's new because, 10-20 years ago in America at least, it finally became extremely unfashionable to utter blatantly racist stuff in public, to the point where it cost you your friends and maybe your job, depending on who heard it. But then Trump happened, and casual racism became OK again among half the population, like the 50s have returned.
