@Vivaldi the same thing the various cloudflare outages did: zilch
@Vivaldi It's a meaningless buzzword. Software from private companies can never be trusted, no matter what country it's from.
@Vivaldi
yes: if you are sovereign, you cant take this day off.
@Vivaldi Prediction for my local area: The british PM and scottish FM will get asked about it on wednesday, they'll say it was unfortunate but out of our control so unavoidable, and by this time next week no lessons whatsoever will have been learned.
@Vivaldi I don't see big corp and institutions cancelling Microsoft subscriptions so I guess... No?
@Vivaldi maybe as much as the AWS and Cloudflare incidents did in their time...
@Vivaldi please move along, there's nothing to see here…
@Vivaldi I really hope it can move the needle on peoples views.
@welshtroll well the thing is that, in this case, this is not a decision that most people get to take for themselves. It's imposed on them at their workplaces. And it's especially critical at governmental level, all the members of congress in Norway have no access to their email today. 😩
@Vivaldi Sadly it's true, here parts of the school system are disrupted, along with our National Health Service being impact in different ways, dependant on how much the have integrated into that ecosystem.
Keep up the good fight!
@Vivaldi I wish the built in passport manager in Vivaldi could have backend configurations so you could for example use your nextcloud service for storing the passwords... I know there is a plugin that can be used, but it's not always working on all pages.
@Vivaldi People responsible did not receive any emails about outage, so there is no problem.
@Vivaldi No. People will be upset. Settle down. Open Outlook and Teams. Continue like nothing happened.
That is what we'll learn. Again.
@Vivaldi - Linux Mint, Vivaldi and mainly OpenSource software. My MO for many years.
@Vivaldi, well, MS give you the sovereignity to use their services or not.
@Vivaldi Don’t get me started about the vulnerability of putting all your eggs in the cloud.
