Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

It wasn't sent to the customers. It was sent to the partners. Crowdstrike sells in the partner model.
That’s gonna be a really shitty pizza party.
Could you imagine 10 dollars for fucking your month up and then when you use it. It’s canceled ?
Let’s be honest, 10 bucks ain’t gonna cover the damage to the larger clients. Even moderate sized ones, that’s hundreds of thousands in revenue; with delta probably being out billions.
So like “here’s a buck, pleas be nice” is just going to make me enjoy being very not-nice
This wasn’t to clients. This was to partners. Middlemen in the transaction process.
You can’t buy most software directly from the vendor. You have to buy through a partner. They pass the paperwork and add 10-20%. They do provide some services but their main function is to pass paper.
Yeah, cuz partner sounds nicer than client.
