Confirmed hilarious by an actual stroke victim.
lol! You had a stroke!?
No, my wife. I ran it by her and got a hearty laugh.
What does she think of Microsoft Teams?
She has an objectively correct opinion on it.
Same, I giggled
Actual signs of a stroke for those who want to or should know: the acronym is FAST- face, arm, speech, time to call 911.
Or FAST VAN if you want to be a first aid nerd.
V - visual disturbance
A - aphasia
N - neglect (of use of body parts they would otherwise probably be using)
I had hope for Microsoft when they came out with WSL and VS Code.
I was a fool, of course.
A lot of people agree VS Code is good though… I hate that.
It is a good text editor
WSL is good though, whenever I am forced to use windows I install it.
But I do like MS teams
Stockholm syndrome.
It’s so calming when it just decides to not get any new message for a day and starts removing meetings from your schedule…
Are you kidding? I would pay extra for these features.
It’s bundled with the rest of Office, so you may not even need to pay anything!
You and me are out there enjoying it (unless you are being sarcastic, then it’s just me out there in ignorant bliss).
I still don’t get why people are so opposed (it’s cheaper than the collection of apps required to do the same thing). The best reason I heard was it doesn’t work well on Linux, which I’m like duh - they don’t care about that demographic, like, at all. My best thinking is that maybe folks aren’t using all the features. I mean, one of them is a voiced Copilot summary of a meeting done by a man and woman, like they are talking about the meeting at the water-cooler. Truly terrible and amazing all at once.
I use MS teams on Linux all day long for work through web browser (I think it’s a PWA app?) and have no issues at all. I’m not saying I love MS teams but I am not running into any bugs with it. My only complaint is they used to have a ‘native’ Linux app that ran using something called electron that would allow for notifications in my desktop environment, whereas now in the browser I don’t get those, but that didn’t really end up being a problem.
Wait, you are running it in a browser? That would give a terrible experience and limited features (you probably miss out on that sweet voiced meeting recap). I can understand why you/anyone wouldn’t like that.
Check it out, teams.microsoft.com, I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything for my day to day work duties? I can lead meetings, screen share, use Copilot, calendar…all the “Teams” stuff like the tabs for onenote or planner or other apps (they’re all web based too). I guess I don’t feel like I’m missing out on any capability?
TBH I’d rather read a transcription than listen to two voices paraphrasing a meeting anyway.
I love loops for day to day project management
There is so much to like!
I think my favourite is when you go through the files in a team then click “Copy link”. It thinks, thinks, thinks, then when it’s done it has a big green tick but doesn’t actually copy the link until you click a second copy link button.
But I do quite like how when you find the file you want and switch to a chat then it loses your place. And as far as I can tell, there’s no way to bookmark a folder, which is great.
Long story short I love how it tries to do everything instead of being good at one thing!
So, so true.
I redesigned my team’s intranet at work so we could minimize the use of Teams as much as possible.
The first one can also just be a sign of ventriloquism, though.
I never knew strokes were so similar to signs of intellectual disability.
Narm.
oo webex is so so much worst
I love the Microsoft CEO Assassin Teams
(For legal purposes, this is a joke)
