Forza Horizon offered custom horns, one of them was the Teams “someone calling” notification. I would be in a race and use that horn and laugh as another player suddenly goes AFK.

It really wants me to host a webinar. I get a pop-up every day telling me about how great this function supposedly is. You’d think there was a VC generative AI project attached to it with how hard it’s being pushed.

It’s Microsoft, they probably want you to host a webinar so they can use you to train AI to do it

I’ll put up with it but has their ever been a person who wanted the document to open as a modal window inside Teams where you can’t even go back to the chat of the person who sent it without closing it?

So you have to open in browser and then open the browser version in desktop.

I don’t really hate Teams but that really triggers me. Otherwise I feel like Teams and I have a lot in common (like the whole tried to do too much and so does nothing well thing).

That’s not true. It’s good at working with other Microsoft apps, and only Microsoft apps, not anything Unix. Like PowerPoint… except of course when you try to present in Teams from PowerPoint, that usually doesn’t work.

Not even all Microsoft Apps, either. There’s deliberately little integration with things like desktop Outlook, instead forcing more OWA shit.

Now it’s basically just Edge. In the same was “New” Outlook is just Edge. I swear to god, everything on Windows is eventually just going to be a Edge dressed up like an app.

It’s funny, we use it lightly for it’s intended purpose. I work in person on the ground and so do most people in the company. We’re spread wide geographically. I like what teams has done for us. We use it sparingly.

There are much, MUCH better systems out there that can do the same, just better, without all the bullshit and high cost

Teams is such a confusing app. To start off, what is it meant to be? A frontend for onedrive? A chat app? A videocall app? It’s like microsoft’s attemp to make their own everything app. What was wrong with Skype? Actually, Teams shows up as “skypeforlinux” (complete with a Skype icon) in Pavucontrol, so is the videocalling part of teams just a re-packaged skype? Why does the web version of teams have its own integrated Excel which is slightly different from standard web excel? It feels like the UI was specifically designed to mislead. There is a list of icons on the left that allow you to switch between different contexts in the app. The visual design makes it look like a set of radiobuttons, except clicking on some of them twice does a different action… There is a home screen, and then also a second SUPER HOME screen!? I can’t even get angry it at for being a slow bloated jumble of spyware like the rest of microsoft’s garbage (which it is), I just feel a sense of morbid fascination every time I’m forced to use it. It feels like an AI-generated app from a future where AI is much more capable but still utterly fails at understanding humans. It’s the uncanny valley of user experience.

One thing I miss about Lync (maybe the only thing lol) was that each chat was a separate window. …you couldn’t combine them unfortunately but I often find myself wishing I could pop a chat out of Slack, Discord, etc.

I swear they intentionally make their app buggy as shit on Linux to punish us for not using Windows.
