Hot take: The Artemis livestream is a damning indictment of modern computing devices. It seems like half the radio chatter is troubleshooting email delivery problems, confusing user interfaces, or devices not booting or connecting. Literal astronauts with years of training can’t make our stuff work.

My heart sank when I learned they are running outlook.

Taking the most bloody cursed piece of software imaginable to the Moon.

What a time to be alive.

@rl_dane @beccadax I think we are seeing the #enshittification of space.

When I'm that far away from the whole support structure, I'd rather communicate via Telnet* than use Outleak.

*Oh. Actually I already do. When I'm away from my main computer, I Telnet to a CoSy server, type "mail to [email protected]" and wait for the "Subject:" prompt :-)

@rl_dane @beccadax Depends on who I'm mailing! There's not the slightest chance of secrecy around the mailbox I have at the conferencing service I Telnet (or SSH) to, because it's been on spam lists since around 1992 :-)

I mean, ok, but telnetting means your userid and password are going across in the clear, man! XD
