  • Touch? Mac? Airpods? What the fuck are you doing? You aren’t doing real business tasks if you’re using an iPad.

    I’m using it on the phone sometimes to reply to people which I don’t think is a weird use case. The AirPods issue happens on macOS and I’m not sure if you’re just ignorant but lots of businesses operate on macOS, especially in my industry (ui design, frontend web dev) it’s unusual to even see Windows.


  • Seriously, teams is one of the worst apps I have to use on a regular basis. It’s insanely buggy, especially if you are a freelancer working in multiple teams.

    • parts of the app don’t load correctly
    • parts of the app don‘t support touch very well
    • you get useless notifications, i.e. for a thread you have open or an action you caused yourself but completely miss others
    • the UI has SO MANY flaws like giving people different colored placeholder avatars in different parts of the app which made me assign tasks to the wrong person a few times
    • it needs its own audio driver on macOS which is probably invasive and does a shit job with airpods

    There’s probably more I can’t think of right now but teams actively kills my productivity and I dread having to open it. I don’t understand how businesses can rely on this so heavily and I‘m wondering how incredibly incompetent the team developing it at Microsoft can be.








  • It’s a way for apps to interact with reddit. Reddit shut down the API for third party clients so that you’re forced to use their crappy official app instead of much nicer alternatives.

    I used a different app to access Reddit and hence couldn’t use it anymore. The official app was a huge downgrade to what I was using before and full of ads. So I - like many others - just left Reddit for good.






  • I mean that‘s always the issue with this dumb auto swear / dirty word detection. It is simply not context aware.

    Recently in a game of Hell Let Loose, someone wrote in chat that he needs hearing aids while playing and the game automatically censored „aids“ because of „get aids!“ and whatever shit someone might say in a shooter.

    This auto-censoring is particularly outrageous in a shooter where you can literally see people being torn to shreds by explosions.
