#Microsoft365 not working for #Education in #Luxembourg again. Connection possible, but no access to sharepoint or OneDrive. Teams barely opening. We truly are in a digital world. Is it hackers? Is it the world ending? Or just a bug? Who knows, but forget working for now.

@paolo @philippe_schannes If it would be possible, I would give a 1000 boosts to your post!
@paolo Even their own services are not viable. Luxtrust outages showed how fragile the system is. Open source is all good, but I can't run against the system if they force me to use it 😅
@philippe_schannes True that "the system" forced also my kids to use M365, on their Linux laptop, but I guess you are in a position to be more active about it as a teacher and a political representative.
I can't run against the system on my own either but with you and quite a few people that want to improve things in Luxembourg and Europe we can make a difference and hopefully this incident will add more to the list.
@paolo I would hope so. I am still contemplating switching to #proton, but their apps are simply inferior right now. The drive most noticeably does a crappy job of saving photos not as proper files. Their Password manager works less reliably when filling out automatically on my phone. The mail doesn't support any mail clients apart their own. Etc.
@philippe_schannes One wonders why the #Education sector in #Luxembourg is still dependent on #Microsoft services. Just over a month ago we had the #OpenSource conference in Belval showing that it is possible to upgrade to digitally sovereign services which help protecting students privacy and lower costs:

You could invest the free time given to you by the downtime of that proprietary platform to evaluate the available alternatives ;-)
