CrowdStrike is offering its partners a $10 Uber Eats gift card as an apology for crashing millions of computers around the world due to a defective software update.
“To express our gratitude, your next cup of coffee or late night snack is on us!,” says the email from CrowdStrike's chief business officer Daniel Bernard.
But some found that the gift card didn't work, while others got an error message saying the voucher had been canceled.

Open Source or Shut Down MastoMetrics?
Every day multiple people sign up for @mastometrics, but hosting is burning a hole in my pocket and I don't have much time to maintain it.
I'm open to cleaning up my code and making it self hostable as well as accepting code contributions. However, I still need donations to fund the free / flagship server.
So here's my pledge and call to you:
Ensure MastoMetrics stays online and help me reach €1500 donations: ko-fi.com/robertvh
Boosts = ❤️

Long story short it kinda helps if you install TB-symbolic.svg in `mach install` !
Please adjust your packaging for daily to ensure TB-symbolic.svg is now accounted for in chrome/icons/default/ - we've got `mach install` fixed now xD

in reply to Marco Rogers • • •More importantly though, every actor in this dynamic feels that it's not their own actions that need to change. It's always somebody else that needs to change.
That's why I end up poking people about this. Even though I know it often just makes them defensive. Each of us has to understand that we don't have any control over what other people do. The only thing we can actually make a decision about is whether our own actions in the system match up with our stated values.
