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

Fuck everything about Microsoft products. The different licenses are a nightmare, the programs are shit, and "FUCK YOU FOR TRYING TO INSTALL A PROGRAM OR USE LOCAL STORAGE" seems to be the default.

Also I don't trust them not to be spying on users. But sure, every government job I've had we used the products.

It literally doesn't even function half the time.

I used to have tons of problems with it but for the last 6 months or year it seems to be working fairly well for me.

I wish we could use Slack.

I'm torn on this, because on one hand Slack is better, but I've ever only got the option to use the free tier with Alzheimer's. Honestly, that's so crippling I might rather suffer Teams with full history.

I think that’s a bit insensitive to dogs

While I have close to zero trust in MSFT and event much dislike a lot of m365, teams isn’t actually that bad and loop is really good.

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

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

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

Yes. But moving on, Is this just a modless wasteland of a community? It seems like anything goes in /technology

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.")
