You can do regular code blocks in Slack? I thought you only could do inline or in snippets.

We luckily use both at work.

Yeah, maybe Parsec.

Teams isn’t intended for streaming video games, it’s for meetings.

Have you used teams for sending code recently?

I tested it last week and it worked pretty well and even featured syntax highlighting. From the very limited one time test I actually prefer the way teams handle code since it doesn’t force you to use some kind of snippet.

Teams is also supposed to get better formatting and chats fairly soon. I will continue to use slack because I prefer it but it’s nice that teams is at least getting better.

There is a setting in slack that is enabled by default so that notifications will only arrive on your computer if you are active on it.

Discord does the same thing. It’s great, I wish teams and outlook did it too.

That’s not really Teams fault though. Sounds more like a team issue than a Teams issue.

I barely notice it.

The SD card slot is pointing down when I use it.

I also have a case which makes it even harder to see.

Except the absolutely valid (I don’t not necessarily agree but it’s fair) criticism about mitm and other similar stuff, cloudflare actually does a lot of good stuff.

In general they stand their ground against companies who try to force them to do stuff like this.

They are also seemingly involved in developing and finding ways to make the internet a more secure place, like with encrypted client hello. And encrypted DNS.

No, pretty much everyone agrees with you. It’s like posting on unpopular opinions: “I think Hitler was a bad person”

Why is it a good thing that people can’t enjoy the games they like on Linux?

I’m not saying that AI will take over the world but people’s fear doesn’t come from current AI. It comes from the fact that AI improved massively in just a few years and if it continues to do that, it might become very advanced fairly soon.

I started at the company during the summer so I haven’t been around long but my colleague has worked there for over 10 years and my former colleague worked there for 20 years. So I think that they are probably right.

The software is also something from the past that not a lot of people use anymore. Unfortunately I can’t say what it is because people could figure out where I work very easily if I did, I believe it’s from the 80s. My company is also the company that has used this kind of system for the longest time in the world.

Fun fact: I just searched up the software/system and I found out on Wikipedia that another company in the same industry had to reverse engineer and replace the entire system because it was just too old, and hard to maintain.

With that said, some of the servers the software uses runs at least on 2012 and 2016. I haven’t checked but if it’s a VM, I should absolutely just try and replace it and see what happens.

They don’t expect home users to pay. Remember that they often refuse to even reboot their computers to receive security updates.

Extended support is pretty much intended exclusively for enterprises.

The biggest danger isn’t viruses sneaking their way in, it’s from the web browser and email client.

What are you complaining about then?

They supported your hardware for 18 years even when it was only meant to be for a single OS version and now people still had the option of upgrading but the hardware is just too goddamn old. I’m not defending Microsoft I also think the requirements are too high for 11, but expecting even more from your key is just ridiculous.

In a way, isn’t this just saying windows 11 is not ready as a replacement?

No, Microsoft has offered paid extended support for afaik all other windows versions at least as far back as XP.

There is always something that can’t be upgraded because it’s running some obscure software or something. At work we are unfortunately running a single Windows Server 2003 server because it’s running some software that’s absolutely critical and apparently can’t be upgraded (I should test that though).

Pretty much every hardware or software company in at least IT offers (often really expensive) extended support for old stuff.

It’s just the way of things. It isn’t an admission that Win 11 Is bad of any kind

Lemmy has nothing but time.

Isn’t Lemmy decreasing in numbers?

Or Linux Or MacOS Or any computer really

They should have put the button on the top or front like any other company would do.

I would absolutely agree if Apple was a person with feelings, but fair enough.

Have a nice day/night
