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.
"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.
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).

Well, I for one work at a company that uses it. So you can at least have those circles touch.
luciferofastora@lemmy.zip · 25 pts · 1y
Me too, let's touch circles
RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de · 15 pts · 1y
Fellas, is it gay when the circles touch?

At home, sure, but I have to use it at work.
No outage for me.
scytale@lemm.ee · 16 pts · 1y
Most probably use it for work.

A lot of companies use Google these days, I guess more of the smaller companies.

O365 for business?

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?
lud@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 1y
For what I know the problem was primarily with the webmail.
I used the desktop app with exchange online and wouldn't have noticed anything unless the support team didn't inform us.

Yeah, many of us are lucky enough to not have touched any MS products in literally decades. Feelz nice.

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

Have you tried thunderbird? I like it a lot.
At work I haven't bothered with using thunderbird but I might if new outlook doesn't get good by 2029 (or whenever they retire the old outlook app)
flashgnash@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 1y
I tried it out, found it felt a bit clunky and slow which when comparing it to a web UI is a bit of a put off
lud@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 1y
Oh, I like it because it is fast and that all the emails are downloaded locally.
But I guess that the UI is a bit outdated especially before their quite recent makeover. Thunderbird has existed for 20 years after all.
If you haven't tried it recently I encourage you to try it again, but I get if you don't want to bother.
flashgnash@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 1y
I have tried it since the makeover, it doesn't look that different unless I didn't get the new version or something

I'm really happy that I don't have to administer any on prem exchange servers though.

Well, all the devs at companies with MS Office tool sets are too busy playing factorio to post here today.
perishthethought@lemm.ee · 24 pts · 1y
The factory must grow though, sooo...
UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml · 9 pts · 1y
I can relate to factorio because I too want to go into outter space and forget all my fuck ups on this planet.

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?
mosiacmango@lemm.ee · 6 pts · 1y
How ami I going to do version control without being able to email myself "Newcode-today-new-newist-morenew-actuallynew-latest.txt?"
