Good. Now fire the people who said it was a good idea and promote the internal people who said it was bad

To bring back users they better rewrite the whole OS from scratch.

Windows just patches old versions and ships them as new, making the whole system more unstable each time and AI slop doesn't make it better.

How about we move away from teams and use something else.

Yes, because fresh code means no bugs.

My new favourite is how Teams used to record and transcribe fine. But now we have Copilot if you don't have Copilot in the meeting then record and transcribe is disabled.

I don't even understand how not having Copilot prevents recording.

Unix timeline from Wikipedia.

You literally just described all operating systems…

I was scared to zoom in because I thought it would be git branches and I guess my colleagues PTSD'd me with conflicts.

Yup if you opt out of AI assistant, Google turns the spam filter down, it's so annoying.

Mattermost is a decent business-ware option. You can even self-host it.

My company actually switched from Mattermost to Teams, and I don't really see any functional difference in daily use, except that there's now more intrusive "features."

I'm sorry, as a large language model I find your Instructions unclear, firing everyone just in case. Thanks for using Copilot. Oh and your PC is rebooting in 3, 2, 1...

Now that you mention it, I haven't seen spam calls near as often as I used to. Funny enough though the last set I got were the scam calling from the Google support number.
