im going to be a petty ass and say that in this meme format the last two slides should be the same
it shouldve just been “nothing works except teams” twice
I like to surrealize my memeage.
I was a programmer for 25 years starting in the mid-90s. I’ve had numerous coworkers end up working at Microsoft. I’ll admit I was jealous of their insane salaries, but I have to say they were all some combination of terrible programming ability and utter apathy towards their job. The only thing that surprises me is that it took fucking AI for things to get this bad.
I will say that I did have some professional interactions with older MS programmers, the generation that was working for them in the '80s and '90s. These people were genuinely competent, but by the time I interacted with them they were all multi-millionaires and had fallen solidly into the “utter apathy” category.
its almost like relying on massive tech companies creates systemic risks to national and global security
The “We’re all in on AI” to “Everything’s broken” pipeline
“All in” really is a great phrase to use for AI. People forget that going all in in poker often means you lose everything.
Won’t somebody think of the tokens.
I’m token right now, token on a joint.
Fuck M$
My only quibble with this meme is the proposal that Teams works.
As well as it ever does. Intermittently and slowly.
It works just enough to torture you. And that’s working as intended!
Chat and conferencing work pretty reliably for me which is far more than i can say for the opperating system.
I think the worst error is losing message drafts after a few minutes. The rest is just windows 11
The timer stopped working for me then random camera stutters started. Then I deteled local cache only to have my entire teams UI change. Apparently it hasn’t been updating itself and now I have an “off” looking teams. BUT timer started working again so that’s a plus.
Is it not a torture device?
Gotta break it to you that it’s just like that
Right? I mean I was having problems with it today, but I have problems with it everyday.
Does teams really work though, does it?
Microsoft Teams works as a bulwark to keep intelligent people out of the bullshit job sector of the economy where they might disrupt the hierarchy.
That’s an interesting take. I felt the same way about Google 20-ish years ago with those IQ tests and “do whatever you want Fridays” - it’s a great way to keep top-shelf talent away from everyone else and their own garages.
I’m using it daily for work. It seems to work fine. They changed things a long while back which made things harder to find in the app chats etc. But it does what it is supposed to do.
I preferred it when the Linux version was being maintained, since I didn’t have to be on a Windows machine for work.
The official Linux support is a chrome “app” which is teams in a chrome browser tab.
Works on Firefox too.
But some features are missing
I meant the one the repo they had a few years back. Like the msedge repo they have. Except they killed development on it years ago. Is the chrome app the replacement?
Yeah the chrome “app” is the replacement.
However notifications don’t work, links all open in chrome and stupid shit like that.
The old app probably still semi works.
It was great at first then MS started changing teams all around and old app didn’t have the functionality of the new stuff, and the repo was getting no updates.
The only pain I had originally was I had to contact MS to tell them there repo was missing the valid signing key, when they did updates
The unofficial client seems to work adequately (for a teams client).
Thanks ! I forgot all about this one
My husband works from home and I swear I hear bitching about teams coming from his office every other day.
I had a list of favorites, which included the two help desks I have to call for work. There was an update or something and now I see call history, which is generally useless, and the area where favorites used to show is an empty white void.
I use it for daily work too but it constantly crashes on me in the middle of the day. This also happens for colleagues of mine. Last week one colleague abruptly left a meeting in the middle of talking twice in one meeting because his teams crashed
Ironically, incoming calls today had the ringing sounds, but no button pooped up to answer the calls. Lol
I seems to depend on the company. The one of our company works good with basically no problems. The one from our client is a hit shit show
To be honest Microsoft’s software never was of high quality. Not sure if LLM has worsened anything.
There has been a pretty consistent decline over the last year. Windows now updates multiple times a week, my work PC now randomly freezes for 10 to 30s multiple times a day, hardware that worked fine now has odd quirks like my headset now needing to have it’s microphone switched to another source and back again every time I unmute in teams, there was a teams bug for a while where it would immediately kick me out of a meeting the first time I joined it, and another where my headset just wouldn’t work when joining a meeting and would need to be shutdown and restarted to be used, my home dock that worked fine now won’t connect properly when the machine resumes from sleep, needs to be physically disconnected and reconnected, I’m sure there are others. These are all issues that started since Microsoft demanded all employees start vibe coding in 2025 and were not problems previously. Hardware has not changed in that time.
Teams on android regularly fucks up all Bluetooth audio.
Like all Bluetooth microphones will stop working until I reboot.
I’ve tried a bunch of things so far and only a reboot can fix it.I’m glad I don’t need to deal with teams on mobile.
Honestly i wouldn’t be surprised if it’s some how made it better. But now you have microslop vs slop fighting a death match in the code.
My Teams today:
“Is your Outlook working?”
Microsoft outages are not new to post-chatgpt computing lol.
Well, yeah, but keeping Teams online was just too much salt on the wound.
