you are a fucking EMAIL CLIENT you can't say that shit
@tauon "907 partners" this polycule stuff is getting out of hand
@persephone @tauon That is probably bigger than the village my grandparents used to live in
@ozzelot @persephone @tauon Every partner has multiple employees.
@jacket @persephone @tauon That's a lot of people who might want to know my outlook.
@ozzelot @persephone @tauon That's a real problem these days. Like, I don't know if you saw that story but Tesla employees where spying on clients with the car camera. They shared videos internally like people having sex in the garage.
@jacket
I have read that story. I will never enter a Tesla if I can help it, for that reason and a good few others.
@persephone @tauon
@ozzelot @jacket @persephone @tauon And never be in the range of their external cameras?
@yacc143 @jacket @persephone @tauon That is sadly much harder to guarantee.
@jacket @ozzelot @persephone @tauon
We're talking about data brokers.
Every partner has multiple partners.
It was actually not any different if they stated "We and our one partner" but who cares anyway.
@ozzelot @persephone @tauon all village wants to know what you sending 👀

@tauon

We and our 907 partners...you cant make this shit up

@tauon they say this UNIRONICALLY mind you
@tauon 907 partners. wow that's reassuring

@tauon so...this has to be some sort of truly bizarre coincidence. but Alyx Woodward, being Alyx Woodward, sees "polycule" and thinks "molecule" and started wondering what sort of molecule might have 908 parts. "Protein aggregates!" her mind went immediately and so....she found this, right away.

" A chromosome was considered as a polymer chain of 908 subunits with 100 kbp DNA content. The interaction potential between any pair of non-neighbor subunits (i, j) consists of two components, the excluded volume potential and the attraction potential."

@tauon I love this popup. It shows me how much it is worth to despise MS. At least 907 companies worth.
@tauon ah yes the corporate tendency to cram as many unnecesary hands/investors into simple tools as humanly (and ocasionally artificially!) possible
@tauon There's a saying from back in the day; Outlook Bad
@tauon Maybe it's time to go back to thunderbird.
@WhyNotZoidberg couldn't be bothered logging in (i don't like my microsoft email)

@WhyNotZoidberg @tauon

Back? Never should have left it for this piece of junk.

@pvollebr @WhyNotZoidberg i don't use this email a lot so i couldn't be bothered logging in. i do use thunderbird otherwise
@tauon "907 partners" bitch i don't even get emails from 100 people what the fuck are you talking about. get out of my inbox
@ari @tauon What kind of relationship do they have with those partners? They must have a very busy life.
@alterelefant @tauon extremely busy- they spend all that time gossiping about me!! >:(
@tauon This is what it looks like when Microsoft becomes Google and goes from being a software company, to a data collection and sales company. Someone needs to push their headquarters off a cliff and bury it.
@tauon 907+microsoft wtf 908!
@tauon These things have made me despise the term "legitimate interest".
@boefjim @tauon yes!! In my vocabulary there is no such thing as legitimate interest.
@boefjim @tauon Made me realise there's no such thing as "legitimate interest"
@tauon I love how all the purposes they state (ig except "develop and improve products") are bad for the user.
I wish we got this kind of popup in the USA
@tauon we and our 907 partners
@tauon cishets when a trans girl has 3 partners: "umm i hope that works out sweaty :)"

cishets when microsoft has 907 partners: here's your info 😁
@0x4d6165 @tauon oh its sweaty alright
@MarkAssPandi @0x4d6165 what's this a reply to i can't see it
@tauon @0x4d6165 "cishets when a trans girl has 3 partners: "umm i hope that works out sweaty :)"

cishets when microsoft has 907 partners: here's your info 😁"
@tauon I don't want to kink shame anyone, but having 907 partners totally makes you a super-slut.
@tauon There are no "applications" anymore, only "websites wrapped into DRM" as said in a nice way I seen somewhere few weeks ago.
@tauon Also, we fucking PAY for you!

Calling it "email client" is a stretch. It's literally a browser window to office360

@tauon Is this the "Outlook (new)"?
@tauon I'm gonna have to make my own email client aren't I
@xoli thunderbird works! or is that too heavy in your opinion
i'm eventually going to write my own but it will be very opinionated and oriented towards my own desktop
@tauon Thunderbird works for now but Mozilla seems to be circling the drain because of the AI shit
@tauon me and my 907 partners say we can!
@tauon proton.me let's go!
@johnskk i use that but i'm thinking of moving to self hosted
@tauon @johnskk If you need advice on that, I have some advance tips (have been running self-hosted for 8 years without problems) and @drscriptt is a trove of useful practical experience in self-hosted email.

@shelldozer @tauon @johnskk

Thank you for the compliment @shelldozer. 😊

Feel free to ask questions. I’m happy to help.

I believe in enabling others to learn from my pain.

@drscriptt @shelldozer @johnskk my criteria for a mail server are pretty simple:
- i want it to run a normal mail server program, so it has all the traditional stuff like folders and all that, not some weird thing like proton mail where it's handled through their api (i know that's not self hosted but that's an example of what i dislike)
- i want to be able to both send automated mail (say, for an instance of something like mediawiki, in case a user requests to be emailed about pages they watch or something), but also use it as my normal mail server
is it a good idea to get a vps (since i wouldn't be able to self host on my own server, because that uses a residential ip which is probably blocked, and changes often), and self host on that? or are there hosting manager things that meet those criteria? and am i wrong about anything i said?

@tauon @shelldozer @johnskk

I think what you’re wanting to do is imminently possible to do. It’s also what I’m doing.

I used to run my MTA on a Linode VPS for the reasons you mention.

Earlier this year I changed things a bit where the MTA now runs in a VM in my house and uses a VPN to the same Linode. (For simplicity, you could think port forwarding through the VPN, but it’s more than just that.)

If this is new to you, I can HIGHLY recommend @mwl’s Run Your Own Mail Server book as a great 0 to 60 starter. If you follow his directions you will end up with a functioning mail server that should meat your desires / requirements.

I’m happy to discuss further / answer questions if you want.

@tauon You know what you should stop using.
@alterelefant sadly i have to pretend to be a boy sometimes and when i do i use that email
@tauon
HOW MANY ????
This is a top tier contestant!!!!
@fr33tux
@tauon Wait, is this real? Does Microsoft use that language so openly and blatantly? They gave no shame.
