I know this is programmer_humour, but can we express some condolence for the manager who ~~jumped~~fell from the building?

[–] Ch3rry314@piefed.social 57 points 5 days ago

Yeah, I agree I was chuckling till I saw the last article and audibly said oooooh. A real sobering moment.

Ironically, the Govt. official is a resource they have enough backups for.

Can this now go to darkhumor@lemmy.world ?

Oh, that's more sad, I thought they had gotten the same treatment russians do.

This was propably some honor thing. Or avoidence of responsibilty. Or maybe taking one for the team as scape goat. I don't know. Nevertheless, it is sad.

Edit: If you or someone you know is feeling emotionally distressed or struggling with thoughts of suicide, you can find international contacts at https://befrienders.org/.

Oh, my... I had just skimmed so I had not noticed that until you pointed it out...

Vladimir Putin is to blame for every death in Russia. In South Korea, thoughts and prayers for unavoidable window sill slipperiness.

Bit of an overreaction. It may be a disaster recovery but its not that bad.

They apparently lost eight years of data, 858TB, with no backups at all because it's "too much". That's a disaster for sure, but I'm not so optimistic about there being a lot of recovery...
