EVERY FUCKING WEBSITE IS FUCKING BROKEN, AND THE MORE A COMPANY IS PROUD OF HOW MUCH AI IT USES THE MORE BROKEN ITS FUCKING WEBSITE IS. I AM FORCED TO USE MICROSOFT OUTLOOK FOR MY WORK EMAIL AND IT CAN'T FUCKING HANDLE ATTACHMENTS NOW. I HAVE BEEN ATTACHING IMAGES TO EMAILS FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS AND IT HAS NEVER FAILED. EVER. BUT NOW OUTLOOK APPEARS TO ATTACH SOMETHING, APPEARS TO SEND IT, BUT THEN SENDS THE EMAIL INTO A PURGATORY SOMEWHERE BETWEEN US AND HELL, MARKED AS DRAFT IN HALF THE PANES AND AS SENT IN THE OTHERS, NEITHER OF WHICH SHOWS THAT THERE WAS AN ATTACHMENT. IF I CLICK ON THE EMAIL THREAD IT SHOWS THE EMAIL I JUST SENT AS A DRAFT WITH THE SAME DATE AS THE FIRST EMAIL IN THE THREAD, IN THE SECOND POSITION IN THE THREAD, DESPITE IT BEING LIKE THE 20TH EMAIL IN THE THREAD AND SENT JUST NOW. HOW DO YOU EVEN FUCK THAT UP. I HAVE TO SEND THIS EMAIL BECAUSE MY REIMBURSEMENT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED AND RESUBMITTED A DOZEN TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF 3 MONTHS, PRESUMABLY BECAUSE THE ADMINISTRATION IS UNDERSTAFFING THE PROCUREMENT OFFICE BECAUSE OF AI. THE BUGS ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO EXPLAIN, BEYOND HUMAN ABILITY TO FUCK UP. THIS IS BEYOND GETTING A 500 ERROR OR THE PAGE HAVING ITS SHIT ALL FUCKED UP LOOKING, EXTRAORDINARILY BASIC SHIT ABOUT "WHAT DOES THIS BUTTON DO" BREAKS IN COMPLETELY INEXPLICABLE WAYS. THIS AI SHIT SUCKS SO BAD AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW PEOPLE IN THE CULT CONVINCE THEMSELVES THAT IT ROCKS FOR CODE IN ANY CAPACITY ASIDE FROM LINE COMPLETION OR PUKING OUT A BOILERPLATE NEXT.JS CRUD DASHBOARD. ANYWAY I JUST NEED TO SCREAM BUT I DONT WANT TO DISRUPT MY COWORKERS AND EVEN THOUGH EVERYONE ON HERE ALREADY KNOWS IT SUCKS, IT STILL FUCKING SUCKS AND I FUCKING HATE IT

AI screaming, void screaming, allcaps, long,
EVEN IF THE CODE WORKED IT WOULD STILL BE ETHICALLY REPREHENSIBLE TO PARTICIPATE UNCRITICALLY IN THE LARGEST THEFT AND CONCENTRATION OF POWER THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN. SURE WE CAN TALK ABOUT SHADES OF GRAY, ACCESSIBILITY, DIFFERENT MODES AND QUANTITIES OF USE, ACTIVE LEARNING, AND WHATEVER. SURE THE WORLD IS MORE SUBTLE THAN AN ALLCAPS MICROBLOG POST. IM NOT TALKING ABOUT AMATEURS VIBE CODING A GAME FOR THEM AND THEIR FRIENDS. YOU KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT. THE MAXIMALISTS THAT ARE SAYING CODING IS JOEVER AND THROWING HUNDREDS OF VIBE CODED SAAS PLATFORMS AT THE WALL TO SEE WHAT STICKS AND OVERBURDENING THE VOLUNTEER LABOR OF WHAT WAS ALREADY A NOT SO HEALTHY OPEN SOURCE SOCIAL STRUCTURE AND MUDDYING THE WATER WITH POLLUTION, FIGURATIVELY AND LITERALLY.
BUT THE CODE DOESNT FUCKING WORK, IT FUCKING SUCKS
@jonny yes Jonny you say it and keep sayin
@jonny Also Apple mail does not really work any more. Also Microsoft Word has strange new problems.
@jonny solidarity in saltiness
Any chance they'll let you connect thunderbird to your O365 account?
(Or evolution, or Apple mail)
They all support the proprietary OWA protocol, but O365's switch to OAUTH2 means the IT department gets to approve what clients can connect.
@jonny My condolences. When I had to use it I thought the app should be called Microsoft Look Out! and now it just sounds more so
@Zerofactorial @jonny think how amazing AI is, it made Outlook actually worse
@jonny Please, let it out. I've been spiraling all day about the collapse of society courtesy of these fuckfaces. You're not alone.
@jonny yeah this is how I feel every time I use outlook too.
@jonny the ones that get me every day are that clicking reply to the last email in a chain which was from you sends the reply to you and not the person you're talking to. Meanwhile reply all doesn't reply to all but it does reply to the person you're talking to. The other one is that in outlook classic if I search for an email and scroll down the list of emails it found with that search term using the mouse wheel it will every few seconds just scroll me right back to the top of the list. The only way to scroll down is to use the scroll bar. Which they've made 1 pixel wide because who ever uses a scroll bar. I have to go on the web interface to search for emails.
