It also updated all other office tools that refused any updates since 2024

But by some magic, Outlook just reinstalled itself while I was waiting for the download to finish(??)

Of course you can't download only Outlook, you have to download the whole office suite

It was wrong, of course. But the second attempt gave me a link that worked. I'm pretty sure that link was forbidden knowledge

I had to ask fucking Copilot how to download an installer

After uninstalling, I noticed that you can't "just install" Outlook on a corporate MacBook, apparently

In the end I had to reinstall Outlook, because of course there is no simple solution to these things

I created a ticket that my Outlook didn't work. Then I waited for a response ... By waiting for a mail notification

For fun, I tried some online LLM detector tools. They were pretty much split 50/50 between AI or not, even though it was really obvious. Also, it was either close to 100% or close to 0%. It's all bullshit

I actually feel a bit ashamed, because in hindsight, it was pretty obvious that this was slop (and not just because the response was plain wrong)

Today I spent half an hour researching and creating a response to WHO I THOUGHT was a maintainer of an open source project, before noticing that the account is actually rather new, has no contributions and has just copy&pasted some LLM slop as a response to my initial question

Today in a meeting:
"Okay, but we need to be careful with all these agents stuff, it's getting impossible to review that many PRs"
"Then we should spend less time reviewing and just pay less attention"
I wish I was making this up

@bagder I think this isn't a nuget problem, but just package managers in general? For example, the central maven repository has loads of libraries that ship some ancient curl versions: https://central.sonatype.com/search?q=curl
I would assume the same for every other ecosystem as well

Of course, this has never been tested in court, so YMMV

I never heard of this before, and I don't think many FLOSS developers know that, either

This makes the GPL basically as useful as LGPL, because linking is basically always allowed

First test toot after setting up Hollo again; let's hope I didn't mess up the configuration again
