They say while using gmail.
Gmail is functional at what it sets out to do, which is send and receive email.
The sender is not expressing privacy concerns, they’re expressing functionality / utility concerns.
Fair enough, still seems silly as hell to me. Windows is perfectly functional for corporate, and even software development use as long as the team managing the image and standard settings at your workplace is competent.
Yeah, being able to customize everything to meet your preferred workflow etc with Linux is preferable.
It is more than functional for corporate, seeing how the majority of companies run entirely on it.
it is not. it can't even do such simple thing as sorting the inbox by the sender's name. it may seem functional to people who never used real mail client and were brainwashed into accepting this as the only available ui, but it is really not.
It's tagged "Inbox", it looks like this is the recruiter's POV.
And preferring yet another proprietary OS.
I still use gmail as my spam catcher/throwaway account
Odd to use it as part of job hunting though, which is the context in this image.
not really... when job hunting most people have to spam the world with CVs and nowadays that also includes registering in a ton of shitty services so you can post your resume or get contact info... once hired, you would use the company's email so whatever you provided first is usually irrelevant
I use it at my "catch other people's emails" account, tho so far I haven't been quick enough on the draw to do cool stuff like slurping account creation tokens, goodie delivieries or stuff like that.
Better than outlook, no?
Sure, but kind of silly for someone who would take a stand against MS to the point of refusing a job to be happy with Google.
Then again, they also expressed they'd be happy with Apple/Mac
Their basis seems to not be corporate actions, but the usability of software.
They would probably have been happy with Windows 7.
Was willing to consider a job at Microslop in the first place, so not against big tech, just Windows it seems.
