Yeah, it's fucking ridiculous that a corporate account has a user-upsell ad/button one MUST hit to access the basic settings for the program.

Most of my career is built on MS's stack (I fell into .NET development and got good at it. Now I'm in the same boat as COBOL, Java, and Ruby-on-Rails devs: I'm basically a software doula.)

Every job I go into now I'm reccomending they get a migration plan for self-hosting and self-owning. The American tech system is collapsing. AI is causing massive ruptures in knowledge: it obscures searches, it deskills devs, it's castrated the junior-senior-principle ladder such that we're not training enough developers to even pass along all of the knowledge of how current systems work. SaaS is reaching the enshittification threshold and all those businesses that moved everything into the cloud are about to discover that they're hostages and the sinking empire will drag down a lot of collateral damage with it.

"Microsoft Teams users are extremely angry" is the standard feeling when using that product.

It’s fucking wild to me that anyone ever convinced anyone in enterprise to shift to cloud and SaaS offerings in the first place.

You really thought it would be cheaper forever to give all your IT to someone else? You didn’t think you were getting captured?

You thought it was a good idea to store all your data on someone else’s servers, who have control over access to your information and, in most cases, can probably read it? And that if they raised prices or did something you didn’t like such as analysis or AI training on it, you weren’t completely held hostage by this?

It didn’t set off alarm bells that all the SaaS stuff seemed less featureful and more buggy?

That every workstation was now a recurring subscription?

That you now have to pay extra to get different software to interact with each other?

You thought there would never be any downtime? You thought if there was that you would make up the cost by contractual discounts?

It’s a good goddamn thing that I didn’t know how fucking stupid adults were when I was a kid or I’d have been scared for my fucking life for so many more years.

Only way to fix this is for people and corps to stop giving them money for anything.

Lmaooooooooooo

Everytime I check the news these days, it's always just two headlines.

• Trump Unveils Second Plan To "Steal The Moon"
• Microsoft Now Petitioning Jus-in-rea To All Outlook Account Users' First Born Son

I increasingly feel that this is all just some simulation and reality's being autogenerated lol

Windows 11 on my media PC every time I boot now asks me if I want to enable backups. So I say no. Ok whatever, corporate cunts are gonna keep trying to sell me stuff.

But then it gives me another screen ramping up the hard sell and telling me how important it is I enable sending all my data to them. There's only one button on the screen that's styled like a button, to refuse you have to click a text link. And I've already said no to them dozens of times already, including once three seconds ago.

It's like they're actively campaigning to get me to switch to Linux.

Stop using American spyware. Theyre basically asking you to pay them to spy on you as well as use their products. Edward Snowden proved his point that we should blacklist the garbage software and hardware that comes from that fascist country.

I think most Teams users would only pay not to use it

Weird. I’ve not yet seen this on my Teams. It would piss me off if I did, but then again Teams pisses me off all the time anyway.

lol looks like malware

This has been there for years. I forgot exactly what the reason was but the banner is part of the self service feature that lets users purchase software on their own instead of billing the org. For some reason the setting to disable this was put in the teams admin center instead of the 365 one causing it to popup for users who'd previously disabled this. Its such an old issue im not sure why this is being written about now. Also majority of the people complaining arent teams customers, they're teams users and the enterprise is the customer. As a microcuck admin this doesnt even make a blip on my radar for bad things. I see this and im like at least its not a full screen pop up.

Yeah I reported this to our IT department a few weeks ago, asking if there was something wrong with my configuration, since surely we have an enterprise version.

Disgusting.

While I sympathize with this issue...

Boy do I dislike articles where the entire headline is "____ is angry about ____".

And people click it, because they're all, "Oh boy, what do I get to be mad about today?"

gotta ask copilot to make a perpetual crack

How come Microslop is fucking up at every front?
