!! Surely there's a more respectable source.
Anyway, Outlook is working fine for me here in NZ. This news seems to be a day old: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=MO941162 https://duckduckgo.com/?q=MO941162

- BLKNSLVR 2y agoChecking in from Oz, Outlook was working fine 30 minutes ago.

- jasonjayr 2y agoBy default, the posts are all out of order. Top 5 posts are from 2022, 2023, 2020, Jul 19 (Crowdstrike), Jul 18. (in that specific order) Not really useful for the 'latest' going on. Twitter used to be able to do that, was super useful to get the pulse of a current event.
- Dalewyn 2y agoNot sure what's wrong with your feed, if I go to that account the top post is from 3 hours ago concerning this outage along with two replies at 2 hours and then ~48 minutes ago located right under it.
- forbiddenlake 2y agoYou're logged in, they are not.
- reddotchaser 2y agoYeah I used to use Twitter without an account quite a bit and I guess saw a decent amount of ads to make it worthwhile for them. Don’t understand them messing with non-logged in users. I haven’t used twitter in a couple of years now because of that even though I’d like to. It’s completely useless unless I’ve a direct link to a tweet
- ivewonyoung 2y agoIt's a countermeasure to intensive scraping by bots for AI purposes that was costing them a lot of server costs.
- worble 2y agoI didn't downvote, but my only problem is that I can't tell if it's a more respectable source or not since twitter won't let me see anything without creating an account ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- reddotchaser 2y agoTwitter is unusable if you don’t have an account. Only thing that works is direct link to tweets. I imagine there are plenty of privacy conscious people on this platform who don’t have social media accounts so a link to a Twitter account is pretty much useless for them.

- wizzwizz4 2y agoI got banned within 10 minutes when I tried that. (Twitter's TOS says I'm no longer allowed to create accounts.)
- contracertainty 2y agoHey, privacy is a vald concern. I could just as easily say 'When you say "privacy doesn't matter" most of us hear "moron". Try being a bit more civil next time.
- ivewonyoung 2y agoPrivacy isn't free and comes with its own costs. I give up on a lot of things but I also realize programmers and ops people need to eat too, and servers, bandwidth aren't free.
- zelphirkalt 2y agoLets not ship so much tracking and ads, this way we can reduce the amount of sent data a lot!
- ttepasse 2y agoHow do you evaluate respectability in this case? The icon that meant verified on Twitter now only means that someone paid money to X. (And of course you can't read it if you're not logged in.)
- EGreg 2y agoI respect them more. So that’s one data point.. (PS: Poe’s law).
- Trellmor 2y agoIn this case you can find this X account linked on some Microsoft status pages. https://status.cloud.microsoft/ https://status.cloud.microsoft/
- ivewonyoung 2y agoExactly like how you evaluate respectability on any platform including the web. Not like there are reliable checkmarks everywhere you go.
- snickerbockers 2y agoIf people cared about that they wouldn't be using Microsoft.
- TrueDuality 2y agoSo many unfortunately don't have a choice
- snickerbockers 2y agoUhhh... is Bill gates holding your family hostage???
- TrueDuality 2y agoNo, but my work is holding my paycheck hostage.
- mrweasel 2y agoEuroNews is generally pretty respectable, but it is sad that their cookie/tracking banner isn't compliant. Equally sad that no one at EuroNews management have seen the banner and though: 870 partners seems like 867 to many. Arguably EuroNews is a strange source for news like this, but companies like Microsoft and Amazon are terrible about communicating outages directly.
- hulitu 2y ago> EuroNews is generally pretty respectable Was. A long time ago. Today they are just propaganda spreaders.
- Terretta 2y agoOn the contrary, it seems compliant? The link to continue without agreeing is right at the top with the warning, and not buried somewhere in settings (and especially not sending you to each of the 800 to opt out individually like so many firms helpfully offer).
- Terretta 2y agoThe thing about this that's troubling is that you saw it and it troubled you. Most sites linked from HN you don't see that number even though it often numbers in the thousands; and if you do get told, they don't let you use a single click to continue without agreeing. I was pleasantly surprised how transparent this was, and that I could just disagree and continue, instead of the usual GDPR-dodging dark patterns.
