Tired of relying on Big Tech to enable collaboration, peer-to-peer enthusiasts are creating a new model that cuts out the middleman. (That’s you, Google.)
Tangentially: Microsoft Teams and SharePoint web infuriate me daily. All the functions that should be separate programs are rolled up into one inseparable window forcing you into a single task workflow.
Want to have two folders open at once that you can drag between? Want to copy a file to your desktop? Read a message from a colleague while looking at a planner item? Pretty much any basic task that Windows 95 can handle with ease? You’re screwed.
These are all things that should be separate programs handled by the OS and a samba share. The MS Office ecosystem has regressed massively over just a few short years thanks to teams.
My employer’s recent wholesale shift to Office365/Teams/OneDrive convinced me to switch to LibreOffice at work. It’s a good thing that there’s a portable version, because that’s the only way I can use it on their locked-down laptop.
Holy shit I suffer from this daily, and I notice no one else complains in my company.
I’ve been using Norton Commander and then Total Commander for like 20+ years and I’m used to being able to do everything with a couple of keypressings, and now I’m being obligated to deal with multiple slow clicks and awkwadly placed menus to do the most simple task.
I tried using the SharePoint Plugin for TC, but it requires the freaking pope to allow my loggin.
Oh come on! Everyone knows that SharePoint’s only reason for existing is to act as a black hole for Microsoft Office documents. They go in but they never come out. Nothing intelligent can escape!

This us why we all need to use and evangelize LibreOffice!
I’ve been using LibreOffice at home for years.
