yeah. i get that they have to do some kind of work, like neat experiments, and fiddle with control panels and such. but emails? microsoft office? come on.
80% of waking time in space should be spent contemplating the universe and our small part in it. then 15% for chilling out and doing cool zero gravity stuff, and 5% fiddling with control panels and communicating with earth maybe
Surprisingly low % of time you've set aside for romancing alien baddies
Just log into one of the 30 dashboards Microsoft uses to manage its 200 services, and go into 15 layers of policy settings to uncheck a setting you didn't set but Microsoft thought it should be set for your security, then realize your account doesn't have that privilege so open up power shell and set yourself as a site admin despite already being a global admin, then OneDrive sync kicks in and Trump's desktop is somehow now the ISS desktop? IDK.
It's so much easier than typing sudo snap install outlook-for-linux --edge
Now it's time to send an email if you dare
This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm clicking on the send
And it errors in a most peculiar way
And this error looks very different today
The screen of death is blue
and there's nothing I can dooo
I'm seeing double here, four Outlooks
Houston I'm seeing an Outlook, no TWO Outlooks outside the craft - we're not alone up here, control.
Yes we are looking out. But they are looking in
I cannot describe the terror I would feel when I enter a space rocket and see Windows on any of the screens in there. I would be out of there instantly
BOO!!!!
where i post from
Jasc scream reaify foud
Teams was probably clogging up all resources.
Mr. President, a second outlook has hit the spacecraft.
i know this trick, and tbh i think it's fine if they just wanna watch youtube and chill for the day
I heard they have a copilot on Artemis helping them fly
This will be a very normal thread about an Orion crewmember's laptop having Windows installed on it, I'm sure.
forum signature
is this a lemmy feature or just a trend I'm seeing people hop onto either way it's neat
if anyone reading this finds them annoying instead, you can use ublock origin's element picker to create custom rules blocking peoples' sig banners
wtf who would do such a thing
i think its a trend but im curious how they do it
do they copy paste the signature everytime they comment or is it somehow automated
I made a script to help automate, but I only run that on the computer. On phone, sometimes on the computer, and before the script, I copy paste

I just use a Clipboard manager and search for '***' (for the line break portion) and just paste the one I copied when I first uploaded the image the first time I stole @KnilAdlez@hexbear.net's bit
I have a keyboard that lets me use macros that I don't use and I copy/paste every time instead.
idk either way I love it
"Sir, Outlook is outside the craft begging someone to let it back in."
Outlook: But I'm right here
FR THO. What the fuck are they thinking?
It is probably a political requirement, like much of the rest of the SLS.
If they were using Linux, it would randomly not boot one day and take 3 days and 43 steps to troubleshoot
The thing is this is the space program, so if they were on Linux they'd be on some Debian build from the 00s and you'd have to go through ten mission specialists every time you wanted to run sudo
Some old-ass BSD derivative (built for Z80 architecture) where you have to recompile the kernel every time the core rope memory gets kinked
a real country's space program would include a Kernel Officer on every mission, with standard issue programming socks
Kernel Space Program
Colonel Kernel
how dare you not fellate Linux
I would happily fellate Linux all day if it fucking worked.
Only if they update past an LTS
Still better than Windows 11.
Outlook classic i can understand breaking, but New Outlook i have doubts. In any case just log into the OWA.
are you talking about new outlook or the new new outlook? or is that outlook 365?
its technically all Office 365, but there is Outlook Classic(the one that has been around forever and downloads your email into a OST file), New Outlook(which is basically just like an app on your phone and is a GUI representation of OWA) and then OWA(signing in through a browser.) Outlook Classic has way more issues than New, and i think it's primarily because it downloads all your emails to the computer for offline use, the someone complains about it being slow and i just recreate the Outlook profile. Outlook Classic is way better when it's not using on-prem Exchange, which is usually the case anymore. New Outlook might not need a license though, im not positive on that.
Did they try to ask copilot for help?
turns out they were only licensed for one outlook. not only that, but the license was terrestrial only. they need a separate extraterrestrial license for each outlook. that can only be purchased while signed in with the terrestrial license, which can only be used while on earth.
please fly back to earth and sign in to purchase the appropriate licenses.
