  • Personally, I don't give Microsoft the benefit of doubt. But technically I'm guessing they are not sending the audio data to their backend so no snooping there.The rest of the meeting is free game however I'm pretty sure.

  • Except the entire use case for teams in our organization (and I'm sure many others) is basically just to chat and make calls. None of the extra stuff is useful to us.Also you can look at slack which would also be a communications/collaboration platform, and weirdly enough the UX is fine and usable without training. Just admit MS shat the bed and made some Frankenstein abomination that no one knows how to use correctly. It's pretty typical of Microsoft (and apple too) to just deflect that the user is doing it wrong instead of admitting they could improve the experience.To add to your RV analogy, Microsoft is selling an RV to moms and dads that just want to drop their kids to school. Sure sometimes they go on vacation and the RV is nice, but it's not what the user needs. It's also exactly why users hate it, they are given a monster truck just to go to the shop. (Plus in the case of software, they could have it transform as needed. The communication part could look like a regular sedan, but instead you are forced into the RV format at all times)

  • Is it really open source or just open weights ? Big difference

  • For the mic mute issue, I guess it's so they can show a little popup saying you are muted when they detect a signal coming in

  • Why would I need training for a chat app ?I have (as many many others) have used other apps before with no training at all without issues. Teams requires it because its UX is atrocious

  • For Android tv there's also Smart tube next

  • In my experience, they really don't stick together. They stick enough to print, but if you exert pressure on the part they will delaminate.It works great to print the support in Petg, and the part in pla (or the reverse)

  • Holy moly, the comments on the article are full of reactionaries shitting on Linux for having a CoC and enforcing it. Did not expect so much hate for such mundane things

  • Depends on what you're used to. I have lost too much time trying to get a python or js program to run on my machine.Of course if the project is well written and with decent documentation it's easier, but in general I have had too many incompatibilities with versions of the tooling and the dependencies which may be too ancient to work properly. On the other side, go code that was written a decade ago still compiles fine without thinking about it.Hell I even had a js project that was working then 6 months later, without changing any code in it, wouldn't build. Talking to a front end dev at work he immediately said "oh yeah node was probably updated and you need to do x and y to make it work". Sorry but I have other things to do than massaging bad tooling to build this.

    Btw, even containers are not a bullet proof solution. I had a python container straight up not work even though it was distributed like that.

  • I agree in general, if you need something specific then there is no way around it. But when I'm looking for something I evaluate all possible solutions, and being written in a language that has issues like this is a mark against it. Sometimes it's easier to write the thing myself in some language I master than to wrangle python or Js dependencies.In my experience there is rarely only one solution written in python or Js for my use cases.

  • You're not wrong, but you have offended the python guys for suggesting they use something other than their toy language.I personally look away when I find programs I want to use that are written in python. I don't have time to play with all that BS just to run a small software on my machine. Go is my go-to (heh) but any other modern language would be fine.

  • From the incident report it seems the impact was limited to VMs in one DC in one region to be stopped, as the power was lost. And some service degradation in the region.So not that much impact. Of course resources in this DC would stop working, but the rest of the region was still working properly. If you built your infra in this region in a resilient manner, your services should not have been impacted that much

  • Wait, someone edited this just to remove some hamster balls ? Weird

  • I don't see anyone trying to take away his achievement. The report and most commenters even recognize his contribution.Also this goes more deeply than "not liking them", he has some morally reprehensible views. I admit I haven't read the whole report, but I have seen some of the things it touches on in the past and it's pretty damning.

  • It's a game of cat and mouse. I'd be willing if I needed to use win11 myself but for my parents it's either gonna be Linux or a new computer

  • Yeah I work in tech and I'm the only one that cares enough to use Firefox. All my colleagues use chrome or chrome with makeup.Maybe ad blocking will be what broke the camel's back, but I doubt more than a few will care enough to switch.

  • I hate the concept because it's just really wasteful of energy. If I recall correctly, only 30% of the power output of the charger goes into the device, versus 95+% for wired.
