On August 23rd the #Outlook app for #Android stopped working on my phone (#Pixel8Pro). No new #mail would be received, and I couldn't figure out how or why.

#K9 (and later #Thunderbird) worked just fine on my phone and could receive mail perfectly.

I liked Outlook because my
#calendar was right there in the same app as my #Email.

Well, I found out what happened.

#Microsoft surreptitiously migrated the #IMAP account I had configured on Outlook over to an #Exchange account stored on Microsoft's servers.

Microsoft literally, without my authorization or knowledge copied all my mail from my device and my credentials up to their servers so their
#Exchange servers could (attempt to) get my mail and store it on their servers.

I am beyond pissed and I am beyond livid.

This is
#ClassAction level type bullshit but there's probably some #ForcedArbitration clause I agreed to when I upgraded to #24H2 or something.

God damn fucking Microsoft.

And they are pulling this same shit with the new
#PWA #Windows11 Mail app they're shoving down everyone's throats on Windows 11, too.

The scary thing is, from both a
#privacy and #legal standpoint, is that this now makes Microsoft the #custodian of your Email. Which means Microsoft could receive a #subpoena for your Email and you won't even know about it to challenge the subpoena's legality.

#E-discovery just got a whole lot easier and nicer for lawyers and the DOJ.

Fucking bullshit.

If it weren't for the fact that some of the apps I use on a daily basis require Windows I'd dump this shit like a hot potato and go back to using
#FreeBSD.

I miss FreeBSD.

God I miss FreeBSD.

(No I'm not switching any time soon. I can't, and I'm not going to debate the merits of either Linux or FreeBSD with anyone. Of course I can use Wine. But Wine isn't fully compatible with this one particular software package I've been using for the past 20 years.)

Update: Maybe I might be able to switch. But unfortunately not to FreeBSD. Researching. Will probably go with
#LinuxMint. I like #Pop_OS but I don't like the fact that it wastes so much screen real-estate. But that's on my laptop. I have a much bigger monitor on my desk. Thinking.....

Most recently, the Minister for Environment established a Task Force to advise on how #LionBreeders might be persuaded to leave the industry voluntarily.

Born Free believes that if South Africa is to be regarded as a responsible and ethical #custodian of its #wildlife, and a country that cares about wildlife elsewhere in #Africa and across the globe, urgent action needs to be taken to bring an end, in an intelligent and humane way,
