Excellent analysis in the article linked here -

"If you thought the speed of writing code was your problem - you have bigger problems"

And some comical turns of phrase as well :-)

how on fucking earth is there no way to automatically MUTE YOUR MIC IN TEAMS WHEN YOU JOIN A MEETING.

#microsoft #teams

Did you notice how it is always the user's fault when #Microsoft can't do anything right?

"You are using an outdated version of Teams. Please download and install..."
It's not me. It's you who can't implement self-updates for #Teams for years!

When there is a 2FA, and the only way the user has is an SMS, and the SMS is not working, because it is not working most of the time, there is a button labeled: "I can't receive it right now". I can! It's you who failed to deliver it again!

Microsoft Teams ist wie ein schlechtes Betriebssystem auf einem mittelmäßigen Betriebssystem.

Wie bei Amiga OS in den frühen 90er kann man immer nur ein Programm zur Zeit laufen lassen. Wenn man das Programm wechselt, dauert es ewig, weil es ja alles Webseiten sind, die geladen werden müssen. Dazu kommen die endlosen Klickwege, um mal vom Inhalt der einen App zu einem Inhalt in einer anderen App zu kommen. Die einzelnen Komponenten arbeiten überhaupt nicht zusammen und alles ist nur auf die Mail-Infrastruktur von Exchange aufgepfropft. Und die Webapps von Office will niemand verwenden.

Ich verstehe nicht, wie sich Leute das schönreden können.

More on Reactions

At the risk of seeming obsessed, I discovered more reaction weirdness in Teams and Outlook

For the longest time I thought Microsoft Teams is not that bad, sure it was clunky and obtuse but functional.....

Then I was forced to update to the new version. IT SUCKS. My message are not sent, meetings disappear when I create them, and the who thing freezes.

I have been forced to use the web version of Teams to make sure my meeting invites and message get to the user.

@rl_dane @pfr I use #Teams at #work daily.

It's clearly designed by committee, taking the worst aspects of #instantmessaging, #filesharing, #collaboration, and #voip and then putting it thru a blender and then dumped into an .exe.

Granted, it is deeply integrated into #Microsoft #Windows but it's equally awful in a web browser.

#teams kostenlos? Nach 60 Minuten war mein Micro auf mute (immer) und ich konnte im Meeting nur mit Handzeichen teilnehmen. So ist das.

Continuing with my #deshittification, I've now moved everything that was on #OneDrive to #ProtonDrive, almost 100% backed up on HD and #Filen.

I'm also looking into #MicrosoftOffice alternatives, and see that #MobiOffice might be a good one. Unfortunately, a few of the people I work with still use #Teams, but at least I think I don't have to pay for that once I've got rid of Office.

The #degoogling continues. I'm gradually catching all the things I signed up to using gmail – but there are a couple of things that are going to be very hard to change – for example, my #Kia account is all under my gmail, and I think I might have to cancel everything and start all over again with a better email address. *sigh*

Heute auf Arbeit sprang mir Copilot mit einem riesigen Fenster in meine Eingabe und fragte, ob ich ein Kochrezept oder einen Song generieren wolle 😊

So ein immens nützliches Tool.

...bis zum nächsten Windows Update, machen wir uns nichts vor 😑

Muss irgendwann mal Fedora 43 booten und ausprobieren, ob Thunderbird für Exchange Online taugt und wie es mit dem Teams-Flatpak aussieht.

Windows 11 auf meinem Arbeits-Notebook ist eine morsches Holzkonstruktion, die von WSL und Panzertape zusammengehalten wird um irgendwas Produktives zu leisten.

Das möchte ich nicht weiter benutzen, wenn ich es nicht aus technischen Gründen muss.

Great update from Mike, as usual, on new features available in Microsoft #Teams. Some big, some small.

The saved message and followed thread features, in particular, feel like the platform is maturing a bit.

The year is 2025. Microsoft's default method of adding a teammate to a calendar event that you do not own is *forwarding it as an email*

Below is actual footage of my multi-year battle to wrestle basic functionality out of the awful, awful software that is Outlook + Teams.

Note that I reference a Teams Team, which is a reference to the post that I love so much, by @danlockton

A slack post I made today. :cat-wave: Morning, Core Squad! I need a calendar assist from someone in Core Foundations. Today, my calendar gets blocked off for Foundations-specific ceremonies, and I get notifications for them. I'd like that to stop. Your task, should you choose to accept it: create duplicate events for standup + refinement ceremonies, so I can get off of those. You are clear to create these events either within our Teams -> Teams -> Core Calendar, or just plain old Outlook events. I'd originally picked the latter because, at the time, it held the promise of being the only method of shared event ownership, allowing more than one teammate to cancel, reschedule, and make adjustments to events, thus avoiding situations like "[Redacted name 1] has departed, and to this day his events live on :zombie: in our Teams Teams calendar, e.g. tomorrow." After experiments with [redacted name 2] (upthread), neither method was able to handle co-ownership of an event. :upside_down_face: I . . . just don't know what to believe anymore. :face_with_spiral_eyes: (Sobs into memories of Google Calendar) For the brave, I am including (in-thread) the ostensible steps for co-ownership of an event, now ostensibly available in Outlook AND Teams Teams calendars. Trust nothing. Believe nothing. I'm gonna go make a coffee, and then start a blog about Microsoft's calendars. :picard-facepalm: :garfield:

A toot: https://mastodon.social/@danlockton/112682625923116907 The fact that Microsoft Teams 🤮 contains a feature called "Teams" where actual teams can create a Team, and at Microsoft the teams working on that feature probably have a Team to discuss the Teams feature, suggests that there exists a Microsoft Microsoft Teams Teams Teams' Microsoft Teams Team.
