In related news – worldwide productivity is up

It’s not just flippant to say that either. One company I know “officially” uses Teams. There’s an effectively-secret deployment of Mattermost Cloud for the “teams without whom the company cannot exist”.

I wish my company had an official unofficial chat app other than Teams. Many people will find what other apps people are already on, and then use those apps to avoid using Teams. Some are on Slack, others Discord, some Signal, and we have various other chats going on in those apps because attachments, code snippets, and other functionality is so inconvenient on Teams.

Anything official that needs to be shared and recorded for the company or requires widespread notification is through Teams, but then individuals are all using their own apps and management thinks Teams satisfaction is above 90% according to some surveys that no one I've talked to has filled out.

It are now.

OK, whatever. Re: sibling comment: I'm European, not native English speaker.

I didn't mean to make fun of you in any way! and am sorry if my comment came across that way. I often respond to title change requests with dumb title jokes as a way of making them less tedious.

HN is lucky to have so many non-native English speakers and they/you are all welcome here. We don't let HN users criticize others for their English - especially since most of the rest of us have no second language at all.

I was wondering whether they finally cut off their abandoned-but-still-working Linux client, but no, it is legitimately all down. I hope it burns with fiery hot flames.

Man where do you get the Linux client? They pulled the download from their website.

The PWA is ass.

I have installed it while they still maintained an APT repository (which is now also empty). I have some older versions of the .deb files stashed away locally, from the time when teams still ran inside a docker container, but I would like to get a .deb file of the last released version. :-/
