    You mean electron based apps? Yea I hate those. Discord, Slack are the worst. MS teams is cancer.

    l personally don’t mind apps you can load through your favorite browser. Instant cross platform compatibility. I think there are some arbitrary connection limitations that make bandwidth or latency intensive apps less than ideal though.

      good lord I can shittalk ms teams for days on end

      technical architecture problems aside,

      one of the smaller issues that has verifiably taken years off my life is how it decides to alert you with messages

      coworker in the misc channel: anyone know how to fix a lawnmower?

      ms teams: HOLY SHIT. HOLY FUCKING SHIT. YOU HAVE A MESSAGE. CHECK YOUR GODDAMN INBOX ASAP MOTHERFUCKER. DING DING DING

      manager: call me urgently.

      ms-teams: lmao who said that

      There’s some web-based technologies that work better than Electron. React Native for desktop works pretty well and uses native UI widgets, but unfortunately there’s no Linux version (just Windows and MacOS).
