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

It may be crap, but it's a masterpiece compared to Skype for business.

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.

I think that’s a bit insensitive to dogs

So what do you prefer over teams? And why is it better?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Just about anything. IRC, XMPP, Discord, whatever you call the chat built into Steam. AIM is discontinued now, but it used to be better than Teams is today.

Scratching messages onto rocks with other, slightly harder rocks and throwing them at each other is a better form of communicating than using Teams.

I wish we could use Slack.

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

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 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.
