Wait, which Outlook? Outlook, Outlook (New), Outlook (Old), Outlook (beta), Outlook (omega)?

I have two Outlooks and neither of them work

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 6 points 6 days ago

I just use the web one because I can't be bothered trying to work out which of the 11 outlooks I actually want.

MS: "why aren't people using our product?"

Not true, with my 15th generation Intel processor and Samsung Pro SSD it only take six seconds to open /S

Seriously though, we need ever increasing software requirements so we can keep forcing people to buy new hardware. If that means we just stop optimizing completely and vibe code our way to the 16th generation, so be it.

On the plus side, the Outlook team's Agile burndown charts for the last 8 sprints look perfect!

It's a feature.

Try fastmail for how to build an instant Web interface that is just ridiculously fast. Everything is instant, it has offline support, email address aliases... I dont know. Couldn't be happier. I literally have nothing to complain about at all.

Except yes, it's part of the five eyes countries, which means every email is likely also in nsa datacenters. I dont like that, and would prefer it not to.

Jesus. Funny reading this today when my old Outlook has been a complete shit show since last week, with freezing, minute-long loading times and generally being absolutely unusable for no apparent reason. I'm really loving Outlook right now...

[–] kamen@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

I'm still bitter about Mail & Calendar. It worked wonderfully, but of course they decided to discontinue it.

Good. I want all of the bloated software on my work machine. Whoever uses outlook on their personal device is making a very bad choice.
