It seems that if you use teams you can NEVER change your company domain.

(By can I mean should ofc, cos you CAN but you'll fuck up all your users and anyone that's ever contacted them).

This teams lark is REALLY great! ❤️😂

@tinmouth I think most systems from the '70s onwards avoided these mistakes. Even the original UNIX filesystem had inodes as the canonical identifiers and file names are references to inodes. Sensible database schemas have a map from some human-visible thing to a unique identifier. I honestly have no idea why you'd do it any other way.
