@stefano Good for you!
I just lost that battle - we are moving from onprem Exchange to 365 because the CEO wants all those shiny cloud integrations for their calendar.@thechris I know what it means 😔

Another small victory today.
A salesperson had almost convinced a client to move their email from 365 to Google because "they hold all the cards now". I stepped in and suggested they keep their email on servers that they control instead. The salesperson almost mocked me, treating me like a "nerd" who doesn't understand how the world works.
I was happy to be a nerd, if necessary, to explain the pros and cons of the solution to the client.
The result? The salesperson was politely thanked and "sent home", and I'm now evaluating some details of the new mail server, which, by the client's choice, will be based on OpenBSD.Because people need explanations, not brochures.
@stefano@bsd.cafe not so small victory I think!

@stefano
"Holds all the cards?"
U should have told him: "Yes True, but only if we don't know how to self host and rely on a corporate selling pitches to decide what's good for us" -

@francina1909 stavo pesando esattamente la stessa cosa. Si fa davvero troppa fatica. E dire che non uso X o FB, su quest'ultimo mia sorella mi riporta commenti inquietanti sugli attivisti. IG per necessità e qui, ma boh...

@luca @LaVi ma lo stavi facendo votare! ancora più importante!
(avrei delle opinioni sulle persone famose che non fanno lo sbattito di portarsi la carta d'identità quando vanno a votare, però)

@eniko I mean, if you have to depend on an external service anyway, why not a community on lemmy or similar federated forum/aggregator?
