    I wish I could use Linux at work but the software used does not have any alternative (that I can use) and I can’t be bothered with debloating and all that jazz. I try to keep work and private seperate instead.

      My work has a process for requesting software. Over the last five years, I’ve been slowly getting open source alterntives approved, using them, and telling coworkers they’re approved. It’s just one super specialized software left.

        Nice!

        I work at a very small company, so there is no policy for which software to use and I would replace the one software that is Windows only if I could, even if I had to remain on Windows. The problem I have in this case is that we rely external tools that only work with this software, only on Windows. :-(

      Teams.

      I fucking hate teams.

      Why are we using teams.

      Why did they change outlook, it used to actually be good.

        There used to be a linux repo for installing teams but they recently removed it. Now you’re forced to use the shitty excuse of a PWA.

          Either way I’m stuck on W11 at work. No way am I installing teams on my machine at home.

      To me the funniest part is that telemetry is usually for ads to convince people to buy stuff, and secondly for nation states to track you, but the debloat crowd usually never leaves home (a registered address) or buys anything, and surprisingly apt at credit card points with the money they do spend (the og trackers).

        I get your point. I would asume that those who chose to remove adware and remove telemetry would also be the same group that use ad blockers.
