A LibreOffice developer has shared his experience of having his Microsoft account banned, and how the company has been uncooperative in helping him recover it.
Back around the turn of the millennium (to make me sound aged and wise) I did AOL tech support. I ran into so many people that used AOL email as a storage medium. I received death threats from a guy that lost his doctor thesis work because he was storing it in chunks attached to AOL emails to himself. That isn’t even close to the dumbest thing I encountered in that ring of hell.
the wildest part of this is that the libreoffice dev still uses hotmail
like honestly, microsoft doing him a solid by getting him off it
Could be worse. Could have been an aol address.
My mom’s primary e-mail account is AOL, which she actually pays for.
