how will this impact the status of vs sonic.exe rerun 172.70.90.177 18:25, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
Somewhat bemused that there's a comic for this on Day 0, yet there was no comic about the xzutils backdoor earlier this year… 162.158.49.19 20:21, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- How do you know there wasn't a secret comic about the xzutils problem, set up well before any impact became obvious? ;) 172.69.43.185 21:09, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
Right now, reading this explanation, this is the first I've ever heard anyone mention "crowdstrike" at all. - 141.101.109.193 08:19, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Some early reports called it "cloudstrike" which certainly reminds us of our vulnerable positions as providers of truth. Look up “We built this city on sausage rolls.” 172.68.70.122 13:33, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Seriously, this comic came out yesterday, the same day as the thing happened? How did Randall do that, seriously??? Mathmannix (talk) 14:51, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Sounds like a good start of a conspiracy theory. But wouldn't it have been ironic if he tried to publish it, and the service provider for explainxkcd.com was down because of Crowdstrike? Barmar (talk) 00:11, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- That's not irony, that's coincidence. 162.158.212.173 03:24, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- he's been drawing stick figures for years, probably really easy for him. youtu.be/miLcaqq2Zpk 05:53, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Is there an English Dialact in which the Titletext is pronounced resembling a Haiku? 172.70.250.183 (talk) 11:04, 21 July 2024 (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
- Fully enunciated, it's 18 syllables. Whilst "going to" can easily be reduced to "gonna", it still makes it hard to split nicely intoto three phrases of 5/7/5 'on'/syllables.
- The "...is on hold" is the clincher, at just three and no obvious way to self-bulk to five (requiring other bits to merge further down). Awkward to donate part of "compiling" (three on its own, hard to reduce to two without slurring). I suppose a strategic ellision might help draw it in.
- The two immediate options I would give are therefore:
- "We were going to / try swordfighting, but all my / compiling on hold." (meh)
- "We were gonna try / swordfighting, but all my comp... / ...iling is on hold." (...a bit of non-verbal onomatopoeia invoked? Might be considered even the more poetic for it)
- Or rewrite, for explicit nod to the haiku:
- "From our office chairs / neither compile nor swordfight / at this time of pause." (usefully, for the form, "time of" becomes a poetically better seasonal reference)
- In fact I was at one point going to add to my latest exit to the Explanation that, based just upon this and Compiling, it seems that 'office-sanctioned idling' must involve the ubiquetous office-chair (which, BTW, surely deserves a Category:Office Chair... if someone cares to create it, there being any number of appearances being sat/kneeled/stood upon) to be allowable. But maybe wait for a third demonstrative example to be posted/remembered. Maybe if I go and manually look for all Office Chair Category candidates I'll stumble across just such an example that I'd forgotten... But later. 172.69.43.226 11:50, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Did the image change? Now it just says "crap" over and over again. Vaden K. (talk) 05:24, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Some vandal did it. I fixed it a while ago. —megan [[user talk:megan|talk]contribs 07:51, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
