| psydruid | I'm thinking that it's getting harder to find people with Microsoft skills, as I don't see why people have been reaching out to me for jobs with Microsoft products that don't even feature on my resume | Jan 10 02:07 |
| psydruid | Like get a Microsoft person to do Microsoft jobs | Jan 10 02:07 |
| psydruid | It should be easy enough really | Jan 10 02:08 |

| psydruid | I also experienced Andy Farnell's total breakdown of university support systems a few days ago, as I had to install MS Lookout in a Windows VM to then import my e-mail into Thunderbird and then import them on the GNU/Linux side via a shared directory | Jan 10 03:09 |
| psydruid | if this is 21st century university IT, it's the worst it's ever been | Jan 10 03:10 |

| techrigthssec | It's not IT, it'd an embedded sales team using university money against the | Jan 10 03:15 |
| techrigthssec | university itself. | Jan 10 03:15 |
| techrigthssec | The above quote is from the end of the lnxwalt link. | Jan 10 03:16 |
| psydruid | they made the change a few months ago requiring OAuth2 client support | Jan 10 03:16 |
| psydruid | multiple requests to support Thunderbird on GNU/Linux fell on deaf ears | Jan 10 03:16 |
| psydruid | I didn't even get a response | Jan 10 03:17 |
| psydruid | so yes, it looks like Microsoft moles embedded on the inside | Jan 10 03:17 |
| psydruid | I don't understand how a university with quite a pro free software stance could go along with this | Jan 10 03:18 |
| psydruid | I would rather change e-mail server software to something else | Jan 10 03:19 |
| techrigthssec | Security theatre | Jan 10 03:21 |
| techrigthssec | But then again the embedded sales teams see IT as an end in itself and not | Jan 10 03:21 |
| techrigthssec | as a means to get any actual work done. | Jan 10 03:21 |
| techrigthssec | As usual, it is about control and if people are working on their own tasks | Jan 10 03:21 |
