I just had a genuinely visceral reaction to an article titled 'Switching to Microsoft Teams is getting a lot easier'
I shouted allowed, 'No!!!' Just like that.
You ever been on a plane when some little shittington brat is kicking the back of your seat and you turn around to the parent and just give them the look of... 'Sort it out?'
That's how the title of that aarticle made me feel internally.
I could think of very few things I'd like to do do less honestly.
Teams is a parasite on software society and should be canned last week. Dead. Gone. Buried more impressively than those Atari games in the desert.
OK, unfortunately for me I'm going to have to use this inflatable cesspit of shit again for some regular meetings, so I loaded it for the first time in several months and here's the cycle:
1. Load teams.
2. Press on my account to log in.
3. Get told there's an update.
4. Press update button.
5. It closes.
6. It reopens. (See step 2.)
7. Step 3.
8. Step 4.
9. Again, see step 2...
This puss-filled, god-forsaken piece of utter incompetent fuck-wiffery is taking up over 900 MB on my Mac. It is soiled, it is tainted, it is stinking up the place and it is a special kind of sickness that only a mother could love. Microsoft, you really, really have to do better.
I'd rather eat deep-fried nipples than have to spend any more time on this shit-tastic leach-infested software from hell but I'm forced to use it. Why does it still live? why?
@FreakyFwoof I couldn't agree more! Teams is a real pile, that's for sure.
@desertstar84 @FreakyFwoof a bit sad to know that since leaving Microsoft (end of 2021) that app still has not improved, it just recently got support for threads and some other stuff Slack has already had, ETC. Once I moved to a workplace that offered Slack, I just never looked back to Teams, not even for personal use. It's one of the first things I delete off any neww machine. Sadly not everyone is so fortunate so I still keep up with it (also in case we're talking to a vendor at work who uses it for their workspace) so I can't get too complacent, either.
