to complicate things I hate one on one chats, direct messages, etc. if it's personal stuff that's fine but work or projects or news, I need to talk in a public space so there's witness to it happening and to invite collaboration or other points of view.
It's no coincidence that Microsoft 365 is known in the ICT industry as Microsoft 362.
#Microsoftdown situation could be described as fluid
Whatever further revelations about what Jensen Huang did they’re needing to hide must be pretty dramatic if they’re blowing up Microsoft this hard as a distraction
Will we, as customers, get a nice Post Incident Review? It will be fascinating reading.
“We’ve monitored the status of the changes applied to improve serviceability and confirmed that change is not taking as expected.”
lol and, may I say, lmao
I've toyed with the idea of having an online "office" - the only place I am, if you want to talk to me that's where I'll be - but that's a double edged sword, you end up with a congregation with me at the top and, without context, from the outside looking in that looks so gross, like I'm orating to people or I have "followers".
If someone offers you a free trip to #Finland check the fine print. https://youtu.be/5x4K0k87ppE
one of my biggest personal bugbears about the Internet as a whole is the horrible spaghetti way we communicate. I'm on a dozen different platforms and I have to hop around them depending on who I'm talking to or what I'm saying. sometimes it's even with the same person, a staccato conversation splayed out over the Web.
I put more effort into checking the coms than doing any work.
I've no quarrel with this assessment but I really, really do not like Bob Carr
'the US will never build and sell nuclear submarines to Australia...[Carr] expects American-operated vessels will instead be stationed at bases in Australia, with a future US president likely to determine that China’s military might would make it too difficult for three or more Virginia-class nuclear submarines to be transferred to Australia'

A lot of mid-size to small-end enterprises are going to be asking their IT departments (who they've been whipping for years to save costs, trim staff, stop doing things the business doesn't do, etc.) today why they don't run their own mail server.
I guess if I team up with Kevin and Emily we're just a vendor, hey 😕
I really enjoy this rolling, portentious narrative, mostly because it never really gets to a point - it just keeps going "And THEN"
OK GlobalTalk folk, get those PowerTalk servers up and running!
I can just see tech employees having a "but... But..." moment about this because email has to come out of a billionaire's arse. It can't just be administered in house by Kevin and Emily. SERVICES must come from VENDORS. Otherwise what even is corporate??
I'm happy to smooth over this discomfort by appearing in a little outfit, talking some shit and taking a lot of money.
Happy Friday 13th for all those who celebrate.
email could disappear tomorrow and I wouldn't miss it. the whole mechanism is fucked and broken.
“Love Potion Number 9” was Ecstasy. Welcome to your (great?) grandparent’s rave.
the whole business world currently thinking... do we even need Outlook? we do everything through chat now anyway.
