• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Getting rid of gmail

I just switched to outlook and set all my contacts to forward from gmail. Just go to outlook.com to set up.

I know Microsoft has its own issues, but I am in the process of ditching google all together.
Might do the same thing with my yahoo email. Yes I know out outdated
 
Yeah the UI is surprisingly smooth. Looks more slick too and lets you realize how little gmail has done to improve their product over the years

There is a cool story behind the mobile app, if I can remember correctly.

Outlook used to be pretty shitty. When it originally came out a low level magazine or maybe even website wrote a review on it and absolutely tore it to shreds. Talked about how bad it sucked and now that Microsoft took over outlook It would suck even worse. Well Satya saw the review and long story short ended up hiring the guy that wrote the review to overhaul the app.

Go for it. Microsoft outlook is fine. Already using only DuckDuckgo
 
Wow, @quickfeet this is next level on the Google boycott.

Smart move though because you know they are stealing and using everyone’s data sitting in a gmail account.
