Gotta find an alternative to Microsoft where at all possible.

    I'm not exactly a fan of MS, but other mail providers also sometimes have outages.

    Also btw Yahoo just added something to their terms about AI scanning all mails for CSAM, which sounds creepy af.

    As a gun owner, I'm going to disagree here. While there are always extremist pushing for the strictest regulations, for the most part what most want is basic logical control.

    People with history of violence or mental disorders shouldn't have weapons. Period. Does anyone really need an AR-15 for "hunting"? No.

    The tired old argument of the 2nd amendment keeping the citizens armed for a militia to stand against a corrupt government is laughably absurd. The local police are practically armed like the army now. And no ones fully automatic AR-15 is going to do jack shit against an Abrams tank or a F-35 or a predator drone.

    Gun control makes sense in the same way seatbelts do, will it save everyone? No. Can it still do a lot of good? Very much so.

    Apple, Google, all of them are doing it, 'protect the kids' right? Or just target ads and those who dissent against the government.

    IMO doing stuff like this is the job of the police and should be defined by law and not vigilante email providers with their ToS or privacy policy. In a capitalist economy, you gotta ask yourself: "why are email providers doing it?" Doing so costs money and doesn't benefit them; so obviously there's something they don't tell you, that makes them money and that's just not okay.

    Other than a trusted outgoing IP, you can run a <10 user mailserver on a raspberry pi. The cost of setting up a trusted outgoing mailserver is also incredibly cheap (actually free if the volume is low enough).

    The only things stopping businesses from doing their own mailserver is tech illiteracy, deferred liability and/or an unwillingness to maintain systems (my org has a 3rd party IT service that refuses to do anything in house, even after selling us a very decent in-house server that can definitely handle more than SSO and file storage).

    That's very true. My wife is having a rough Friday the 13th at work because of this outage. I think they could really benefit from doing more in house and being less reliant on 3rd parties, but their IT department is about as useless as a box of rocks.
