What, no MS Outlook outage jokes?

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.
- 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
- At home, sure, but I have to use it at work.
  No outage for me.
- 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?
- Yeah, many of us are lucky enough to not have touched any MS products in literally decades. Feelz nice.
- Bro get a job
- 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!
- that's not a Venn diagram
20 years ago:
"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.
For those unaware:
- Blissfully unaware, thanks.
Well, all the devs at companies with MS Office tool sets are too busy playing factorio to post here today.
- The factory must grow though, sooo...
- I can relate to factorio because I too want to go into outter space and forget all my fuck ups on this planet.
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
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/
I would, but I don’t think anyone would get it.
Microsoft ~~Outlook~~ Outage
- Microsoft Outrage
Reporter: [REDACTED]
Reason: not programming-related
Reporter has a point.
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).
We've all heard the punchline too many times before, it's played out.
- Agreed. From this thread, you can tell, it's not funny any longer.
Delightfully, I was unaware.
Nope, I use Thunderbird.
