Hey, at least it’s not Slack.
Yeah, I don’t love teams, but slack is dogballs. I know, let’s make some more places for shit to be!
If the Bad Man has a stroke mid-rally (in 100°+ heat) I will laugh for a week straight. Of course he’s likely to cancel it because he has a small… crowd…
You are invited to the dance party. It’s everywhere when it happens
I don’t dance, but if it’s atop his grave then I will make a singular exception.
Sadly, the storms thwarted that possibility. Fml
The speech stupidity was supposed to start after dark because of the
heattiny crowd.Had the
dickless chickenshit fucktard racistspatriot front in white masks not shown up yet?
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.
Ah, TeamViewer is what I actually used. Got it mixed up with Teams.
What’s interesting is that the first time I’ve heard about it was from someone I would actually help with computer problems, just locally.
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 don’t know why people hate Microsoft teams so much. I think it’s fine. Can’t say the same what the people will have to maintain it
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
I like Teams 🤷♂️
Lie him down on his side and keep his head elevated, I’ve already called the ambulance.
On it.
As far as ms software goes its pretty good. Clean UI lots of hotkeys. Its at least close to as good as the other chat applications in my opinion. I can’t think of much id add to improve it, except to improve the Firefox SSO with containers.
We found the MS plant!
Whats better then?
I’m a Skype man.
I also liked Skype, even though I spent five years of my career writing Skype clones that absolutely nobody used.
What was it?
Well, of course not. No one spent millions on ads for your clones.
Actually, they did. The clones were all written for cable companies and ISPs and offered to their customers as a free perk. These companies promoted the shit out of them and still nobody ever used them.
I even “starred” in one of these ads. I had the amusing role of being amazed that I could make a phone call with the app … when the app was running on a fucking iPhone.
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 ^^
Unpopular opinion: slack is worse than teams.
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
Ew. That is certainly unpopular. Teams can’t even do read/unread notifications
I never kissed a message with Teams. I never get alerts with Slack. I find out 20 minutes later when I notice that the unread category is in bold.
I find teams won’t mark messages as read. Like I’ll be focused on the chat and it’ll stay unread. I have to click out and back into it.
When there’s one of those horrible “teams” things with threads, clicking on a new message on the sidebar shows me just that message. No context. I have to click on the channel and find it.
The core problem is they have “chats” and then some other horrible thing that looks like channels but sucks. Maybe they wanted that to be like a message board? I hate it.
Most of my work uses “chats” instead, but that’s horrible. No discoverability. A thousand permutations of people in chats. One for every meeting. (Was that important message in the standup chat? The planning chat? The side chat with the three competent guys?). And no threads.
Just give me channels with threads.
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.
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.
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.
“I totally get why I need to have to versions of teams and outlook without any of them working”
It’s too late for this guy. He’s already brain dead.
replaced by MS WINDOWS 11 AI BLOATWARE.
That or webx
Fuck Cisco webex and the executives it rode in on!
Woops forgot that “e”
its auto-lobotomy for MS.
