I also liked Skype, even though I spent five years of my career writing Skype clones that absolutely nobody used.
I like Teams 🤷♂️
Lie him down on his side and keep his head elevated, I've already called the ambulance.
On it.
For serious, does anyone use it out of free will and not because it's mandated from work?
I think I used it to manage my parents' computers remotely so I could fix shit for them during their winters in Florida. Maybe I'm thinking of something else, though.
Yeah, that's one use case. I've used TeamViewer for things like that.
You shouldn't joke with these things.
When my dad was seventy, and under a lot of pressure from work he had to use Microsoft Teams once and he hasn't been the same since.
"I totally get why I need to have to versions of teams and outlook without any of them working"
That or webx
Fuck Cisco webex and the executives it rode in on!
Woops forgot that "e"
Very temped to @ the one guy dedicating their life to posting in the LinuxSucks lemmy
What a wild rabbit hole that was… most memes posted have image diffusion artifacts, and most text posts are clearly LLM responses.
But between editing memes, moderating and posting, it’s impressive dedication. And doing it on the Fediverse is absolutely targeted. This is pro hater hours.
I’m thinking their partner let them for Tux.
Oh funny you say that because I commented that their ex banged a kernel maintainer and they've been mad ever since; banned me for it lol
How did they know me and my wife’s safe word?!
I mean its a safeword in two ways.
First that you both communicated it to each other to be the safe word.
But also
If you say that word during action every lust will plummet for every partner. So either way it works ^^
its auto-lobotomy for MS.
Unpopular opinion: slack is worse than teams.
Doesn't matter, we need to get rid of all these platforms. Pinging large groups of people shouldn't be this easy. Maybe get rid of internal email as well.
Want to contact somebody? write a note and have it delivered. I'd bet it'd be more efficient, when you need to limit your messages.
Just imagine how much calmer your day would be, if you wouldn't have to deal with "who ate my lunch?" or "there's a car with the headlights on at a carpark on the other side of campus" with the same urgency as actual directed communication.
Ew. That is certainly unpopular. Teams can't even do read/unread notifications
I had to do online lessons during pandemic using Teams. And I forgot to document attendance of the students, and searching through chat was tedious. That's when I figured that Teams API is also shit af, that instead of attendees returns list of people who were invited to call.
That sucked so hard. Taught highschool age kids. We ended up doing attendance manually. As in: join the day's meeting, turn on your camera and show me that you're out of bed, clothed, and ready to learn.
I think there's no reliable way to discover all people that participated in a Teams meeting.
Looking manually, it will leave people out too.
Somehow, we've entered a universe where every single chat client sucks flabby, unwashed ass. I can't think of a single one that works as well as AIM and pidgin did back in 2001, and that's absolutely pathetic.
pidgin
God how I miss interoperability. I went to college right as all the disparate chat systems started coalescing into everyone just using Facebook, and it was super useful being able to chat across all the platforms (including FB) from one program
I have my mic right beside my mechanical keyboard. Nobody hears a thing if I type during a meeting in Zoom and Slack. In Teams, if I type as light and quietly as possible, people complain immediately. That is my experience with Teams.
You do know you can mute your mic, right? Unless you type and talk simultaneously
I do sometimes, but generally I can mute myself and be fine. It's a mild annoyance. But the main point is that Teams appears to make no attempt at noise cancellation. What if there was loud vehicles or sirens? Barking dog? Kids screaming, people talking in public? I guess everyone just hears everything in Teams. Seems like a really basic feature that's missing.
I was in an online meeting years ago when a formation of F-16s flew over my house at 500 feet. Ain't no cancelling that noise. That was a good day.
It's too late for this guy. He's already brain dead.
