That’s all.

EDIT: Thank you all for detailing your experience with, and hatred for, this miserable product. Your display of solidarity is inspiring. Now, say it with me:

Fuck Microsoft

Is there any video chat service that isn't? It seems every single one has some glaring issue that makes it a pain to use. And it's not like I could just use a FOSS thing that's better; this is one of those things where you are kinda limited to using what everyone else you're going to be talking to is using. :(

I initially hated Zoom, but honestly, it did its job really well

Today it decided to not mark messages read after I had opened them.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

That happens to me regularly. Plus it will have different read statuses in the channel list, pins, and notifications.

Omg are you me?

It's particularly bad now that it's forcibly embedded into every computer, and at the forefront.

You can't hit Win-C by mistake any more, since Windows will instead open a window to "chat with friends and family" by trying to install Teams. (Which makes it particularly bad on my end is that the install broke, so it will randomly pop up later with "Cannot install teams at the moment. Please try again later.")

Have you heard of this new thing called “Linux” ?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes, it's that thing what 4-chan hackers known as Anonymous use, isn't it?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

You mean the infamous hacker Anonymous, it's just one person who is on 4chan all the time time.

My biggest complaint is that you can't save chat logs.

I work in government, and we do a LOT of stuff on Teams, and I'm just waiting for us to get sued because we can't turn over Teams chat logs in Open Records requests.

The file/document integration is based on SharePoint. Shit built on top of a nice pile of manure

Edit: and don't get me started on the teams android app which requires access to all your media if you try to share a single image. If you share it as a file attachment however it's completely fine. No your not getting access to my files and pictures MS, keep your filthy adware fingers off my data

Fun fact: internet explorer was originally built off the File Explorer.

I kinda stopped following programming for windows a decade ago. But in sure there is some ancient code from 30 years ago that is holding some critical files together.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Really? Why? Anything they might share would be shared with any codebase for a window application right?

Browsers, at the core are just file browsers. Websites are just files on another computer.

It's still better than WebEx because I don't have to log in to that piece of shit software to start a video call.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

I shudder when I go to an Apple meeting because they use Webex. (Shudder)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

WebEx Teams (now just WebEx?) is leaps better... In that it works.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

I actually like Webex better because the audio doesn't get choppy where I'm from. For Teams to have good audio, I've had to call from my mobile, and I get charged for that.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago

fucking WebEx

[–] [email protected] 79 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I was expecting a detailed rant, including an example or two. “That’s all” is much, much funnier.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Need a Explanation?

Microsoft Teams: Awww, come on, you just motioned all of me.
