I never said it was nonsense. I said what a lot of people were worried about was nonsense- stuff like it causing nuclear armageddon or crashing the global economy.
And this event today isn’t even what IT professionals were worried about. This is a big headache for them and a day off for a lot of other people. It’s not going to do the damage Y2K would have done had people not done enough.
One exception to that is the UK’s NHS. I feel like having IT outages for an entire countries nationalized health service could probably lead to some preventable death. Though I imagine they hopefully have paper backups for the most important shit.
