Dems don't even need to come up with a plan - the Venezuelan opposition just showed them what to do.

Unfortunately, Venezuela also provided a roadmap to the Repubs. In the end, it may come down to exactly what you said: combat.

CrowdStrike broke Debian and Rocky Linux months ago, but no one noticed in c/[email protected]

That is not accurate.

RedHat is the standard for high-budget American corps.
Rocky and similar for low-budget American orgs
Ubuntu Server has a large following with developers who think they don't need sysadmins.
Debian Stable is more popular with European orgs that aren't incentivized by US government contracts to go with Redhat. It is much more stable than Ubuntu, has been more reliable in its support promises than Redhat, and doesn't suffer from the NIH syndrome that infects both.
Ubuntu is popular with home users
Debian Testing is good for workstations and personal machines that need to be a bit more current
Debian Unstable for people who like Debian but want to live on the bleeding edge

DNC moving forward with Biden virtual nomination; voting to begin no sooner than August 1 in c/[email protected]

I stand corrected - Alabama is apparently exactly like Ohio in this case. Both originally had filing deadlines that came before the DNC, and both passed legislation to extend the deadline.

Not sure how I missed that before, but thank you for pointing it out.

Nah. This has happened with every major corporate antivirus product. Multiple times. And the top IT people advising on purchasing decisions know this.
