  • I mean for privacy things it makes sense to avoid leaking anything. But I fail to understand where the danger is to have anonymous data that says a user installed "Ubuntu-24.04-wappity-whatever.iso" to "KINGSTON DATA TRAVELER 32GB" at some point.

  • The source engine does not handle case sensitivity when loading assets from disk. On windows it's not an issue but on Linux it will silently fail to load assets if the case doesn't match. I lost so many hours trying to fix some weapon animation that had 0 seconds run time when porting a mod dedicated server to Linux.

  • Personally, I don't give Microsoft the benefit of doubt. But technically I'm guessing they are not sending the audio data to their backend so no snooping there.
    The rest of the meeting is free game however I'm pretty sure.

  • Except the entire use case for teams in our organization (and I'm sure many others) is basically just to chat and make calls. None of the extra stuff is useful to us.
    Also you can look at slack which would also be a communications/collaboration platform, and weirdly enough the UX is fine and usable without training. Just admit MS shat the bed and made some Frankenstein abomination that no one knows how to use correctly. It's pretty typical of Microsoft (and apple too) to just deflect that the user is doing it wrong instead of admitting they could improve the experience.
    To add to your RV analogy, Microsoft is selling an RV to moms and dads that just want to drop their kids to school. Sure sometimes they go on vacation and the RV is nice, but it's not what the user needs. It's also exactly why users hate it, they are given a monster truck just to go to the shop. (Plus in the case of software, they could have it transform as needed. The communication part could look like a regular sedan, but instead you are forced into the RV format at all times)

  • Thanks. I generally buy my beers from such shops, because regular stores don't sell that many types. I'll check if they have some next time.

    Some of my favourites are from l'Hermitage, la Caracole or la Brasserie de la Seine. But there are so many breweries and choices that I could drink a different one every day for the whole year.

  • It was designed to follow accessibility rules and not "ease of use".
    Hopefully you will never need such features because once you do, you realize most websites are designed without taking into account any accessibility and you are fighting it to do anything.

    Some things may become annoying for the average user but they are a god send for people that need it.
