I understand why it is still popular, I first used it at my current job and for the life of me I do not understand how people put up with it. It is one of the worst applications I use in my daily work life.

Then you should think yourself lucky that you've never had to use Lotus Notes.

If only there was some way, maybe through decentralization, to ensure that not all of Microsoft Exchange customer where down at the same time. Maybe if there where a self-hosting option, or a partner network that could offer these service. Oh well, guess we'll never know.

I didn't downvote, but my only problem is that I can't tell if it's a more respectable source or not since twitter won't let me see anything without creating an account ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

By default, the posts are all out of order. Top 5 posts are from 2022, 2023, 2020, Jul 19 (Crowdstrike), Jul 18. (in that specific order) Not really useful for the 'latest' going on. Twitter used to be able to do that, was super useful to get the pulse of a current event.

Yeah I used to use Twitter without an account quite a bit and I guess saw a decent amount of ads to make it worthwhile for them. Don’t understand them messing with non-logged in users.

I haven’t used twitter in a couple of years now because of that even though I’d like to. It’s completely useless unless I’ve a direct link to a tweet

> With your agreement, we and our 870 partners use cookies or similar technologies to store, access, and process personal data !! Surely there's a more respectable source. Anyway, Outlook is working fine for me here in NZ. This news seems to be a day old: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=MO941162

EuroNews is generally pretty respectable, but it is sad that their cookie/tracking banner isn't compliant. Equally sad that no one at EuroNews management have seen the banner and though: 870 partners seems like 867 to many.

Arguably EuroNews is a strange source for news like this, but companies like Microsoft and Amazon are terrible about communicating outages directly.

Twitter is unusable if you don’t have an account. Only thing that works is direct link to tweets. I imagine there are plenty of privacy conscious people on this platform who don’t have social media accounts so a link to a Twitter account is pretty much useless for them.

How do you evaluate respectability in this case? The icon that meant verified on Twitter now only means that someone paid money to X. (And of course you can't read it if you're not logged in.)

In this case you can find this X account linked on some Microsoft status pages.

Opposing Microsoft products and services is career ending attitude in the enterprise environment. Bill and Steve (the other one) are not such nice guys as many think.
