It's all just down. Might be back up later.

Couldn't submit my paper ma'am. The cloud ate my homework.

Jesus Christ dude, first service outage? None of your shit is gone 😂

What service were you using that got deleted? They're (still) having a global outage, you might get it back later.

imagine this happened to university accounts, since alot of colleges seem to use microsoft accounts.

Perhaps this is the pic related you're looking for:  

Like the others have already said, it's only an outage and it will return.

That said, what we're seeing is precisely what privacy and software freedom advocates have been warning of for years now: the world's overreliance on the centralised, proprietary infrastructure of a handful of US-based oligopolies have made people, companies and entire nations heavily dependent and vulnerable to blackmail, espionage and other forms of exploitation. Everything ugly we're seeing out there, from the enshittification of services to mass surveillance, from the digital dispossession of users to the exploitation of software for political leverage, is a direct function of this overreliance. And it's about time to break this cycle.

The alternatives and solutions are out there. Use the energy of your anger to make the switch; it's going to bear fruit quickly! The go-to subs for digital independence are /c/degoogle@lemmy.ml, /c/privacy@lemmy.ml, /c/selfhosted@lemmy.world and /c/linux@lemmy.ml.

Are you five years old? There's an outage. Your account is not gone.

Something was up Wednesday morning. I could not get into my laptop for an hour because mickeysoft couldn't see my PIN.

Redundancy!

Microsoft: Huh?

Maybe related, I dont turn my computer on for long enough or often enough to keep up with any of this stuff :

Had a go last night, and windows decided to close everything i was doing just to tell me that it couldn't launch copilot because somethings missing. I have never once in my life ever knowingly or voluntarily interacted with copilot.
