Today #EPFL made me a great present: making me understand that they don't give a SHIT about digital autonomy! So now:

- I uninstalled all MS software from my computer and smartphone:
- no mail on my phone anymore, as EPFL decided to block non-MS apps
- calendar barely working on my phone because of MS embrace, extend, extinguish
- I'll request to opt-out from WorkSpace One - why should I send all my data to the USA?

@ligasser That is sad to hear. My brother works for HSLU. Same situation. He just installed Fedora on his issued laptop 🤣

EPFL is supposed to be the place where digital soveregnity happens, but their IT services are to deep in the trenches of MS bullshit.

@janikvonrotz One of my main gripes is that we're working for more than a year to remove the blocking of additional email clients. Everybody is "yes, very important" in the meetings. But when it comes to click the button to add the exceptions, it's "oh, no, we can't do that".
