Well, all the devs at companies with MS Office tool sets are too busy playing factorio to post here today.
I can relate to factorio because I too want to go into outter space and forget all my fuck ups on this planet.
The factory must grow though, sooo...

"Hey I've got a great idea, let's take all these little local decentralized things and put them all onto one centralized massive thing that needs 99.99999% uptime or the world's fucked. Nothing will go wrong."
Uptime on my old exchange servers roughly matched my ISPs uptime. O365 uptime is now : My ISPs - 0365s uptime. Real improvement there.
But hey, now when email goes down I just point to their admin dashboard and shrug at people. It's a lot simpler once you get over how much harder it is.
The Venn diagram of Lemmy users and Outlook users is probably pretty close to two separate circles. I'm sure there's some commonality, but probably not a lot.
I use Outlook for work. We host our own exchange server and don’t use any webmail though, so I guess that’s why everything works as normal?
Well, I for one work at a company that uses it. So you can at least have those circles touch.
Me too, let's touch circles
Fellas, is it gay when the circles touch?
you just need to say the magic words...
Bro get a job
Most probably use it for work.
A lot of companies use Google these days, I guess more of the smaller companies.
At home, sure, but I have to use it at work.
No outage for me.
Apart from all of the people working using it
I actually quite like outlook, better than Gmail and both are better than any of the desktop clients I've tried on Linux
Nice!
O365 for business?
Yeah, manu of us are lucky enough to not have touched any MS products in literally decades. Feelz nice.
For those unaware:
Blissfully unaware, thanks.
I don't understand, you didn't get the jokes? I forwarded the chain letter to everyone
see, there no chain on letter. no wonder did not deliver
Microsoft ~~Outlook~~ Outage
Microsoft Outrage
Reporter: [REDACTED]
Reason: not programming-related
Reporter has a point.
My Outlook stubbornly refuses to stop giving me email. 😑
Edit: Just checked Bleeping Computer. They've got the story. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-365-outage-impacts-exchange-online-teams-sharepoint/
What does an MS Outlook outage inherently have to do with programming?
How ami I going to do version control without being able to email myself "Newcode-today-new-newist-morenew-actuallynew-latest.txt?"
You do that? I just slam my hand into a different part of my keyboard and try to keep the different cjsbbfhzjksb's separate. (I typed this on mobile, so my fudjevfkcbw's aren't the most accurate).
Nope, I use Thunderbird.
MS Outlook is the joke.
