  • Teams is shit. I use it at work on Windows, and it’s still shit.
    Searching something in the chat? Complete dogshit. Half the times it just straight up doesn’t work, the rest of the times it shows only the message where searched word is present and not the point in discussion when this message happened.
    Keybinds. Non-customisable. Keybinds. Who in their right mind does that?! I once heard that keybind customisation would confuse “normies”, which is complete moot. So-called “normies” won’t go to the settings (or at least, to keybinds) anyway and will be either satisfied with defaults or won’t use them at all.
    It also cannot restrict how many notifications it displays in the corner - so when things are getting spicier at work, it spams whole right side of your screen (gods help you if you were working on the laptop with small screen atm, cause getting shit done will be impossible). So your 2 options will be to mute everything or continue getting spammed. And then the whole point that it is even worse on Linux. And it’s web version is crap, too. And that it is a bloted, laggy mess that is more in my way when I work than helps me.
    Rant over, I guess?



  • Let me provide you with the second side of the same coin.

    Would you be ok with fighting on Russia’s side? Do you think that after the war you should have the same standing as the ones, who were doing anything to avoid being conscripted?

    Because, see, every war is at the very fucking best (read: not realistic) consists of one side that is righteous, and one that is not. Realistically, the chances of you being on the “right” side of it are excruciatingly small. But given conscription, you are denied of choice during that time, your feelings and believes on that matter are not considered at all - you are just a cog. And nobody gives a damn about cogs.

    As someone who is right now working from abroad by necessity - this idea is full of shit.

    Yes, you won’t get a chance to properly enjoy your time away, you will always have time constrains (remember - you still need to work, and it’s still on top of your priority list), you will only get to enjoy the country like 2h a day (or whatever you had before as “me” time - that time didn’t change much) .

    Assuming you are not going out far from your usual timezone - you will basically only enjoy it in the evenings, and if you are adventurous enough to move very far away from your original timezone - gl, because now you will have all the timezone mess upon you and possibly are working in the unusual hours.

    In short: your work will suffer, you will suffer, you won’t get to enjoy your vacation and the country and on top of that - this will cost you more money than you usually pay! What a steal (literally).



  • I understand what you mean, I have the same feeling - everything is a but less vivid now.

    I am no expert, but my guess that is happening because you have much more experience with the world now. As we age, the number of things that will be completely new to us becomes smaller and smaller. We just have more experience, and even if we haven’t seen/felt/heard something particular, chances are, that your brain still won’t be completely surprised - it will be able to find some experiences that you have which are close to that new thing.

    But when you are a kid - there is a whole world of things you didn’t experience at all or didn’t experience enough to understand fully. That’s why everything was so vivid - there was a lot of “truly” new experiences.
