Tomáš Janoušek (liskin@genserver.social)'s status on Saturday, 22-Jun-2024 21:22:59 JST Tomáš Janoušek @sun @SuperDicq @a1ba Oh, that is quite annoying indeed. Possibly even more than Zoom's "let me just use 10% CPU nonstop because we want to make your Electron experience even worse than usual". Fortunately both are easily solved by using the webrtc version in the browser instead. (The one they try really hard for you to not discover.)
I mean, yeah, it's all a bit shit. They focus on fancy schmancy AI features (which, had they worked well, might be actually great at making talking heads meetings accessible to disabled and/or neurodivergent folks) while neglecting the basics. ☹️ -

Tomáš Janoušek (liskin@genserver.social)'s status on Saturday, 22-Jun-2024 20:11:08 JST Tomáš Janoušek @sun @SuperDicq @a1ba if you consider Teams' primary task as chat in channels/rooms then yes it absolutely does fail at that. Teams' primary task, however, is to replace Skype for Work, Zoom, Google Meet, and other proprietary enterprise videocalls (and also phone) software. It doesn't _completely_ fail at that... -

Tomáš Janoušek (liskin@genserver.social)'s status on Saturday, 22-Jun-2024 06:52:04 JST Tomáš Janoušek @a1ba @miah @SuperDicq Personally I find it much less painful to run a permanent weechat in tmux collecting logs that I can ripgrep through than having to use a web-based (or, god forbid, Electron-based) Matrix client.
I mean, yeah, it'd be nice to use a modern protocol that provides permanent presence and richer media, but modern people's idea of UX is "we know better than you and fuck you if your accessibility needs aren't mainstream" so all Matrix clients are intolerably bad. -

Tomáš Janoušek (liskin@genserver.social)'s status on Sunday, 01-Oct-2023 05:56:54 JST Tomáš Janoušek @feditips I don't actually want high quality icons. I just want a black and white (as in, easily usable for dark) svg under 1 kilobyte that I can use to link to my "Mastodon" but it's not really Mastodon, it's Akkoma. Why is there no generic icon that says "Fediverse, the Mastodon-y kind, as in like Twitter, definitely not like Peertube or Pixelfed"?
