You have to put up with shitty software for at least 5 or 10 years while your guys catch up.

As crappy as Windows 11 is Teams mostly works now. Microsoft kept getting their asses handed to them by other software companies and because they have limitless money from the office and windows monopolies they can just keep plugging away until they get it which they did.

Other software is still better but teams has finally achieved good enough. And good enough is always good enough.

When you start I new a software package out it is not going to be good enough. So you are the pour money into it until it is or you just force everybody to use it until eventually it gets fixed.

Or you stop using it and you go back to the Monopoly from a nation that is rapidly becoming fascist and hostile to your Nation...

You seem to have really low standards.

You are being too kind. Any issue that benefits MS being reported anonymously is very likely a direct lie and needs strong evidence to the contrary to even begin to be credible. MS has a long history of dishonest and illegal business practices.

Come to think of, the whole article sounds very much like slop.

Of course the claim that secure or not is a question of using a JIT compiler is completely bogus and just demonstrates that the one making it has absolutely no clue about software security.

No chance. And since you start with slop, completely forget about it. Nice hobbyist demo project, but that is it.

So this thing is slop? Even more reasons not to use it. It means everything not specified in detail is suspect, missing, broken or insecure and maintenance will be an absolute nightmare.

The overwhelming concern for any browser these days is security. And that means looking at all the libraries that get pulled in as well. And suddenly things get a lot more murky. Until we get real defense-in-depth as a mandatory requirement in all software that can be taken seriously, this is an arms-race and a single person cannot compete.

Yep. Also, statements do not get much more low credibility than this, because this supposedly "absolute shit" tool is in widespread use and nobody has complained on that level about it now. The best fix is probably to remove the clowns making that statement.

You are confusing several steps here:
1. Get it away from US companies with a documented history of blocking organizational users on request from the US governmwent.
2. Get it to an EU source or FOSS for "reasons".

They are doing the first step now. The second one may not be needed.

Yeah. Next escalation "A large group of EU Officials loves Teams and wants to keep it because it is massively better than all competitors!".

Not really a surprise. These people apparently do not understand what the reasons for switching are. May also be the results of some probably illegal actions by Microsoft.

What's the use case for this unless you work for the DoD? Even before we talk about horrendous javascript performance (though surprisingly good Acid scores), where it shows Google maps running at around a frame every 2 seconds when moving around the map, the UI doesn't scale so I literally can't read any text on a 4K monitor. I can't even really make out the symbols they used on the buttons.

I don't know why this is so hard to understand for some people. The wave in Linux numbers is hugely driven by the overwhelming success of the Steam Deck. The usage seems to skyrocket during holiday season precisely because that's a) when people have time, and b) when people travel.

Signed:
Someone who didn't use their own Steam Deck in September, not even once, because he didn't travel anywhere and prefers to play on his PC / PS5 instead. But man I put a lot of hours on it in August while jet setting around the world. Nothing quite like going diving in Indonesia, and then spending a 2 hour surface interval playing Dave the Diver on the Steam Deck :-)

Honestly most Americans would be healthier walking to their letterbox instead of driving to the end of their driveway. I don't think a tiny barely significant change in health is at all relevant for anything other than your desire to push you own personal preference.

Fuck mornings. Let them be dark so I can spend more time enjoying a beer in the afternoon (did the study consider liver damage?)

Everything is always unpopular after it passes. Also mornings are always unpleasant. The question is, do you accept that unpleasantness as a trade-off the mind-blowingly brilliant increase in pleasure that is being able to get home from work and enjoy more a sunny day?

Seriously fuck mornings, whether the sun is up or not. I'd trade every second of sun before work for extra sun after in a heartbeat. I can't sit in outside and enjoy a nice beer before work. My employer does random alcohol testing.
