It’s not a Microsoft outage.
It’s a surprise Digital Sovereignty test.

@dcoderlt "digital" sovereignty? This outage got me (as a student of a school that uses microsaft) fantasizing about academia having designated pigeon coops lending postal pigeons to students

Yeah it's like with backups: you don't have backups until you have tested them.

@dcoderlt Are we all outside our offices on the parking lot? Did everyone make it safely out of the building?

...the maglocks for the doors have their keyserver stored on Azure so the whole building is locked down? Ah.

We're not passing that fire safety check today, I guess.

When it comes to the Microsoft thing, you have to realise that it was probably unintentional this time, but that if King Donald the Dumb gets up on the wrong side of the bed, the whole Microsoft mess can get shut down – finally – for parts of the world, selected companies or individuals.

@dcoderlt Awesome. Every corp failing the test should receive a obligatory full-day training on "What is Digital Sovereignty and why does it matter".

@dcoderlt That's why I like the Fediverse: I wouldn`t even have noticed Outlook was down.

My local Libre Office works like a charm, and none of my FOSS tools gives shit...

Microsoft, I fart in your general direction!
