    My brother in Christ, IRC is a better tool.

    Microsoft is failing to meet minimum standards of usability that has existed since the 80s

      With the exception of the great split. And the freenode fiasco. IRC have been consistently fantastic for me since i logged on in ~93

      I’m talking software/firmware in general, not just chat clients/protocols. As I said, you seem to need some perspective.

        Lol, this is such an absurd line of reasoning.

        “This problem was solved in the 80s and then Microsoft bullied an inferior product into business space, and it impacts my work every single day”

        And your response is “eat shit, some people have it worse?”

        This isn’t the fucking pain Olympics and you don’t get a fucking medal for working on a worse stack.

        This is a wildly toxic mindset and I promise your entire life will start to get better once you ditch it.

        Edit:

        Also, you seem to be missing a crucial element here. It’s not that, like in your situation, things were bad and are still equally bad.

        This is the situation where things were good, and then made worse. Completely different trendline.

          Wait, so me saying that Teams is not that bad relatively speaking is a toxic mindset? You do see the irony of flying handle at me to say that, right?

            “working with teams isn’t as bad as working with some software in a completely different domain”

            Apples and oranges, reeks of “You can’t be cold because I live in Canada” energy, but ok, whatever.

            “You need perspective”

            Extremely condescending. Enforces the notion that nobody can dream of better things as long as other people (you specifically) see themselves are enduring something worse.
