To add your IMAP account to Outlook, we need to sync your mails to the Microsoft Cloud.
You what?
Since I didn't even ask to use Outlook, that seems like a no from me.
(The 'Learn more'-page says that this even applies to Gmail. You have the let Microsoft copy your whole Gmail inbox, all your mails, onto their servers.)

This is such a depressing thing to hear. Why does everything get infected with AI?

That was a valiant fight back that went down the wire in the final set, but it wasn't to be. Next year I'm sure.
Some photos I found of her, from earlier matches. Also this match we saw her focus, and her smile, and it's so great to see both in the same person...

I hope people are enjoying seeing Hotel Cocaine, because when I just checked it is not out yet. I sort of suspected that, that it would be one of those US only things, but the good news is that JustWatch actually has a card for the series saying that it is not available on any streaming service, rather than just denying its existence as normal, so that usually means it's upcoming.

My understanding of WordPress must be missing something.
There's this default theme 'twenty twenty four'. When you activate it, it inserts various hardcoded texts into your site. Things like "my book Money Studies is out now" and "I'm Leia Acosta, a passionate photographer". You have to use the site editor to find these and remove them. There are about four.
You have to do this on your live site, you can't customise a theme and preview it before activating, like you used to be able to. If you don't find them all, or ever did "Remove Customisations", you're site will say stuff like "A commitment to innovation and sustainability", without you knowing it.
So what if you're not called "Leia Acosta"? Or you don't have a book out called "Money Studies"? How did they think this was going to work?

@Jos Velasco Thanks for looking into it. I think the answer for me is that for my totally unimportant personal site I'm just going to brave it: check on a test site which edits need to be made and what they look like then quickly do them on the real site. Likely nobody will see it in the meantime. For anything even slightly more important organisations are going to need staging sites anyway and mechanisms to deploy changes atomically. Also with Block Visibility I think you're going to have to find the added blocks first to flag them as invisible, which you can only do after switching to the theme.
Or maybe I should just let go of the idea that you can easily switch themes...

in reply to Gidi Kroon • •So I added only my Microsoft mail account, figuring that they are not a third party to that. The first thing this new Outlook does is show me an advert inserted at the top of my inbox. The old Windows Mail never did that.
Switched back for now. They say that in 2024 we can't switch back anymore and we need to use the new Outlook. Hoping it doesn't turn 2024 anytime soon.

in reply to Gidi Kroon • •My problem with Microsoft wanting a shadow copy of all your emails and run your accounts from their servers is this:
Your email box is one of the most sensitive things you have. It contains all information anybody needs to take over all your accounts anywhere, even take over your whole life. I pay my email provider to handle this securely, with competent people and with proper support channels. I don't pay Microsoft anything. And to provide this free service for me, they even need and keep all my email passwords. Where whoever can access them.
