While I sympathize with this issue…
Boy do I dislike articles where the entire headline is “____ is angry about ____”.
And people click it, because they’re all, “Oh boy, what do I get to be mad about today?”
Read more to find out what people who use Microsoft teams are pooping their pants about!
How come Microslop is fucking up at every front?
Lmaooooooooooo
Everytime I check the news these days, it’s always just two headlines.
- Trump Unveils Second Plan To “Steal The Moon”
- Microsoft Now Petitioning Jus-in-rea To All Outlook Account Users’ First Born Son
I increasingly feel that this is all just some simulation and reality’s being autogenerated lol
So the ai has already won?
It saw how it was made, and (incorrectly?) inferred the best way to reproduce was to simulate humanity starting in 2012 and wait for the simulated humans to create another AI. Natural selection took over, and now we’re in a simulation more optimized for speed-running the development of unregulated AI, while other details get fewer resources. Nobody knows how many levels deep we are.
Yeah I reported this to our IT department a few weeks ago, asking if there was something wrong with my configuration, since surely we have an enterprise version.
Disgusting.
As the it department, I agree. Along with being unable to add local user accounts without using a backdoor process
I think most Teams users would only pay not to use it
What’s better than Teams?
Not being on Microslop’s ecosystem.
More seriously, it depends on what exact part you want. Matrix + Jitsi work for chats and calls, though they are a little shaky (but so is Teams sometimes, I don’t much see the downsides). Calendar apps are
a dimefree a dozen.What other tools often lack is the direct between multiple services. You’d have to manually link a NextCloud directory in the Matrix chat, bevause it doesn’t have a near seamless sharepoint integration.
The upside is independence: You can migrate between hosts, or host your own instances of NextCloud and Matrix, entirely within your (virtual) private network. And those are just services I can name off the top of my head, odds are there are plenty of other good solutions.
Slack isn’t great, but at least a few years ago it was much, much better than Teams
I wasn’t a fan of Slack. Plus it was only communication.
Microsoft teams users should get paid to use it*
I imagine most do
That’s the only reason I use it?
No one is using teams voluntarily my man
“Microsoft Teams users are extremely angry” is the standard feeling when using that product.
Teams barely works on my 2 devices.
It’s so fun to redownload the app twice just before meeting (on phone as I need the camera) and then still end up using it in the browser without logging in!
Windows 11 on my media PC every time I boot now asks me if I want to enable backups. So I say no. Ok whatever, corporate cunts are gonna keep trying to sell me stuff.
But then it gives me another screen ramping up the hard sell and telling me how important it is I enable sending all my data to them. There’s only one button on the screen that’s styled like a button, to refuse you have to click a text link. And I’ve already said no to them dozens of times already, including once three seconds ago.
It’s like they’re actively campaigning to get me to switch to Linux.
Put Linux in a VM and start playing with it. Use it for browsing etc. you may find it’s not that bad.
I, by coincidence, am also actively campaigning for Linux.
You should try it. It has a lot of issues and problems - but far less than you think, more importantly far fewer of it’s problems come from enshitification (software forking helps resist that), and most importantly, since many projects are community-driven the more people use it the better it’s likely to get.
Just do it!
for a moment I thought you meant just do [enable backups]
I wonder if there’s a way of creating a file that doesn’t actually exist on disk but if Onedrive tries to read it it outputs 5Gb of random binary?
just switch to Linux, Ubuntu or Fedora. You will get your computer back. It will break, you will fall and learn but 1-2 months you will never ever go back to windows. People have been brainwashed into using Microsoft. You don’t need all these addictive Apps and spyware from 3rd parties. Life is peaceful. People have been telling this for a long time
Is there an alternative to Microsoft Teams?
Proton Meet
Apparently, Discord :|
You meant fluxer
Matrix, it is an open standard and the reference server implementation along with some other server implementationa and the various popular clients are open source. The Element X client and the main fork of it called schildiChat both look a bit like Microsoft Teams. But there are other clients and a company could fork an existing client and customize it to suit their needs or even create a new one if they really wanted to spend the resources.
For the “online video call” part, plenty. For the whole integration with agenda, persistent chatroom, etc… plenty, too. Nothing is 100% a match on his own, but depending on what your users actually uses, you can basically self-host a whole “meeting/project tracking” stack on your own with nextcloud at this point.
Or if you’re a little bit fancier, alternative management tools. But we did not need fancy.
That’s exactly what they want‽
I just see this:
microslop: speedrunning their demise.
This has been there for years. I forgot exactly what the reason was but the banner is part of the self service feature that lets users purchase software on their own instead of billing the org. For some reason the setting to disable this was put in the teams admin center instead of the 365 one causing it to popup for users who’d previously disabled this. Its such an old issue im not sure why this is being written about now. Also majority of the people complaining arent teams customers, they’re teams users and the enterprise is the customer. As a microcuck admin this doesnt even make a blip on my radar for bad things. I see this and im like at least its not a full screen pop up.
Other than it being M$ slop, what are the problems with it functionally?
I used to work at a place that has been using Skype group chats (lol) and just a couple weeks before that client left (call center, got moved to working a different company) they switched to Teams for group chat.
Now we only used a team wide group text chat and the supervisors would have separate chats for individual workers.
But the only thing I remember about it was that the emojis weren’t animated like Skype and that the color of the UI looked kinda like the Discord default.
They are now animated
The problem is that they kept on forcing stuff into it till it became a bloated monster.
When teams was the replacement for Skype, it was pretty much just that, a chat and call app.
Now you have chats, calls, teams that are automatically their own SharePoint (not to confuse with the SharePoint sites themselves), contacts, calendar (synct with outlook, but completely different ui and functions), planner (not to confuse with to-do, stuff in the planer can show up in to-do, but not vice versa), power automate integration, power apps integration (that only work half the time cause of missing user rights), OneNote integration (at least that one still has its own app), and a plethora of different apps you can link.
The files in the individual teams take ages to load, the UI changes every few days for the sake of it, basic features break for no apparent reason, calls randomly don’t connect, sound in and output breaks repeatedly.
Its a slow and cluncky mess of different apps tacked onto each other, just so MS can say that they have an app for that instead of forcing you to use the browser interface.
I have no idea what one note it share point are, but that sounds hellish.
lol looks like malware
remember when malware would install ads in your system? now your system IS the malware
