#22> Your users live in Teams. No, I assure you, we do not. Nobody wants to live in hell. Even at my current company, we are mandated solely to use Teams for meetings. But nobody uses it for chat. Thankfully we have Slack to save us from that hell. Even if giphy is disabled because it might have R rated content whatever the hell that means.
Slack is a different kind of hell now with their sales-force

This absolutism is tiring. I can assure you there are plenty of companies who use teams as their sole messaging platform. My company uses slack, teams, and zoom. Which one you use the most depends on the person or the team they are on. (Although zoom is being phased out to the chagrin of some folks).
Teams isn't without it's issues, it's annoyingly slow, and startup takes so long I have missed a meeting or two because of it. But, the conferencing experience is pretty decent, and I think you're just being contrarian for the sake of it.

I know it’s NerdCool to hate on Teams, but I really don’t get it. I’m in Linux with portal for teams (electron app)… and it’s fine. Like, we moved to it from slack and I just don’t see much of a difference. I type stuff, and people see it. I set up a call and people join, we talk. What is it that is so broken, or is it just cool to hate?
> I type stuff, and people see it
I wish... I'm on Windows 11 Enterprise with corporate Teams, definitely 100% Microsoft approved combination and:
- on one channel my message never got sent, while on another channel it does work
- sometimes when I scrolled up the old messages doesn't show up, with a 'message removed by organization retention policy' text.. but those are messages from yesterday and sometimes when I restarted Teams it shows up again.. sometime it doesn't but when I opened web Teams it does show up
- sometime I can't connect to Teams for no reason, restarting Teams and computer doesn't help either, went to the IT helpdesk and they spent several minutes redoing what I did until they just googled it and delete the cookies or something
I also used slack and from my perspective its 100% reliable at delivering text messages

Flaky Wifi connection? Maybe Slack just retries more, and Teams gives up easily?

#26If only it could fix the lag with Mac screen sharing in Teams.
When I were a nipper lag/latency over 30ms was considered a bit crap for voice unless satellite links were involved. That's for circuit switched networks. Human conversation works best with a sub 25ms latency and you will start to notice lag at 30ms. Nowadays with all our massively more powerful links (Gb vs Kb) but packet switched, we often end up resorting to a form of half duplex radio protocol. That's just voice,…
How much did a phone call cost per minute from UK to Australia in the 70's and 80's ?
The modern experience is not perfect but audio is usually far better than the 70's and 80's, video is often an option, and in general the experience is orders of magnitude cheaper.

I use Linux and try to use Teams in Chrome for some client communications. It's been a frustrating experience to get myself logged in. There's a lot of confusion about my live account, microsoft account and several others that i'm not familiar with. I usually just run it without logging in now and just type my name.
Slack is definitely better but I have had issues with message delivery and things especially across the "native" desktop application and the mobile app.

#28Why is there no Teams CLI?
There is an API:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/use-the-api
I've been using it recently and aside from some weirdness around permissions, it's decent.
If you need a CLI wrapper I'm sure an agent could make it for you in an hour or so.

I also found it truly brutal to read and got fed around the same spot. I hate this style so much.
