How does a definitions update crash windows with a BSOD?

"Quantum Leap" - so, really really small?
Funny to read VSCode described as an IDE.
Why would VSCode not be called an IDE?
It's a systematic multi-layered problem.
The simplest, least effort thing that could have prevented the scale of issues is not automatically installing updates, but waiting four days and triggering it afterwards if no issues.
Automatically forwarding updates is also forwarding risk. The higher the impact area, the more worth it safe-guards are.
Testing/Staging or partial successive rollouts could have also mitigated a large number of issues, but requires more investment.

It's about safety, but truly ironic how it mentions aircraft-related twice, and communication systems (very broad).
It certainly doesn't impose confidence in the overall stability. But it's also general ToS-speak, and may only be noteworthy now, after the fact.
But how do you identify a leopard when you don't know about animals and it's wearing a shiny mask?
Is that the case at CrowdStrike?
After years of support and collaboration, SUSE asked OpenSUSE to drop “SUSE” - their [SUSE] branding - from their [OpneSUSE] name.
a sus linux? count me in!
error: dict not found. Were you looking for dick?
Sounds like you had the wrong indent after they shifted you around.
I haven't seen information on that. Only speculations in comments here on Lemmy. I didn't and don't follow SUSE or this news closely though.
A commenter mentioned how SUSE has core business in hosting and business environment, while OpenSUSE userbase is more desktop and [non-paying?] end-user.
There wasn't (to me anyway) strong arguments for why they do. Maybe they just want to get rid of the investment, and don't see enough gain in the good publicity and it as an entry point to them anymore.
