Meanwhile blindly installs it because its “free for now”.
Just making up random numbers today are we?
It also has built in ads
I feel like a mother that says: “I’m not mad, just disappointed…”
Gotta point out, that hasn’t been the Microsoft logo since Win7.

Ya got a problem with crusty old memes, kid?
The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time.
In my day kids respected their elder memes… They regularly shitposted them and people were grateful for those crusty memes.
Abe gets the upvote.

At least it’s recognizable. Windows 12 will probably be just a single blue square.
“It’s a single pane window. A single pane of glass. It symbolizes the synergy between man and machine. Window 12 offers an enhanced user experience with greater simplicity and clarity. Also, we’ve revamped our mobile and iOT OS lines which we’re calling ‘Porthole 12’ and ‘Peephole 12’ respectively.” -Microsoft, Probably
Microsoft doesn’t give things new names. It reuses the same name for a vastly different product to keep everyone confused. Outlook. Outlook (the hosted email service). Outlook express. Skype. Skype for business. Teams. Teams professional. Etc etc.
If you really want to be pedantic… that’s not even the Microsoft logo to begin with. Microsoft didn’t use the Windows logo for their own company logo, at least during that time period.
Oh, and that’s Windows Vista’s logo anyway.
That’s fair, I should’ve said “That logo hasn’t been used by MS since Win7”. But it’s still the same logo, minus the backdrop.
Gotta point out, that meme template has been around before then.
As long as the same text continues relevant…
Sorry, I think the last Windows I had installed anywhere was XP. I was like “which windows logo is that? should I look it up?” but then I was like “nah, fuck it”.
They used to go for the Distort tool. Then, the Skew tool was all the rage. And now, they realized that Photoshop subscriptions are a ripoff and stopped using it altogether.
The meme itself must be a good 15 years old too
No, I just made it myself. It’s brand new and shiny.
There’s a lot of options out there for alternate mail apps, but what I really need is a decent calendar app. Don’t like always having to rely on web browsers for that.
Thunderbird doesn’t fit your needs? I believe the calendar can be used offline
I tried to change to Thunderbird but I can’t figure out how to make it work with my work e-mail. I’m wondering how much of that has to do with my work e-mail using office365. 🤔
Everything. O365/outlook do not use normal email protocols. On normal exchange you can enable imap. Do not know about o365 tho. Also unfortunatly you loose a lot of other features if you dare to step outside the walled garden.
IMAP can be turned on for office 365 but it’s up to the org admins
I think O365 only allows authentication via OAuth2. Can’t just punch in your password and go anymore. Not sure if Thunderbird supports that or not.
It does, and so does FairEmail.
By default they use protocols specific to outlook/exchange/365. Sometimes referred to as activesync or outlook anywhere, which encapsulates their own protocol (I think it’s MAPI?) Over an HTTPS tunnel.
These technologies have had a lot of names.
In the past few years 365 also requires TLS 1.2 at least, and oauth. Oauth is when a mini browser window pops up for your 2FA info, like ms authenticator or duo or whatever your organisation is using. The nice thing about oauth is that it’s compatible with many identity providers, not just MS. The bad thing is that it’s fairly unique that outlook supports it. I don’t know of any other email clients that support it…
Even if you can get passed the login, most mail clients don’t support MAPI over HTTPS the way that outlook does. There are some android/iPhone apps that support it, but that’s not universal either; the naming can fluctuate between the options I’ve mentioned earlier.
The only good way to get this done (speaking as someone who has had to help someone get it working), the organizational email admin needs to enable either pop or (preferably) IMAP, and assign an application password to it. This password is long and usually a string of random characters. It gets saved to your email client software and it is used nowhere else. It’s been a long time since I’ve done this and I’m not sure it’s still supported like this.
I hope that gives you more information as to the challenge ahead of you.
Good luck.
Both Thunderbird and FairEmail work with outlook OAuth for me.
Good to know.
And how much does payroll add to my salary to use this shit at work so it can mine my data without consent? None.
If you’re at work, it’s not really “your” data. It’s “your company’s” data. And your company might be collecting even more data on you than Microsoft.
You don’t think the data from my user session is being collected by Microsoft?
I’m not just putting my company data into it, I’m putting my data into it too.
“We just need to make sure that the data collection of your data collecting app is working on your data collecting OS so we’re gonna need to add some data collection on that.”
We need more main stream apps and games for linux. That’s the only reason I’m the on fence now.
What in particular do you feel like is missing? I mean, there’s a lot of stuff on Linux already. There’s no shortage of apps or games. But there might be some specific thing that you want that linux doesn’t have.
Holy hell
Motherfuckers laughing at this meme carrying a smartphone checking their Gmail.
It’s not a binary thing. There’s steps
Mine is rooted and neutered. Something might leak through, but I’m not making it easy for them.
GrapheneOS+ProtonMail checkmate
Are you me?
GrapheneOS is the answer. Apps can be sandboxed away from OS. No Gapps integrated into the OS. Camera disable button if you are really paranoid.
Love the grapheneos representation on lemmy lol
The only thing I hated about that kinda thing is depending on the phone you lose the camera perks. If I install this on my pixel 6 pro, does everything function more or less the same? I don’t want to be taking shit photos after installing a rom
You have to install the google camera app because it does the image processing. And I believe you need GSF to make it work, but thats a one-click install in graphenes own app store
You can install the Google Pixel Camera app if you want the functionality they offer. Grant it access to network upon install, then grant camera, microphone, location, sensors, and access tp all storage or assign a storage space. Should work as you expect oyher than it doesn’t integrate with the GrapheneOS gallery app, and prompts you to install google photos. you can still access photos by opening the Graphene gallery.
Nope. Im laughing at this meme carrying a smartphone checking my selfhosted linux postfix/dovecot email server.
mailbox dot org gang 🤙
I have outlook, gmail, protonmail, Roundcube mail accounts but mostly managed via IMAP. Guess I get to laugh and cry…
I doubt the people you are describing are on Lemmy.
Here I am. Doesn’t mean I’m OK with it either. Not enough time in the day to figure out another solution.
Perfectly valid. And privacy isn’t all-or-nothing, you can still take some other steps to limit data collected from you, like switching your search engine or browser
