I'm an American, and I can't explain this to you. If I saw this on a receipt, I would write down on it that I'm tipping $0 because of the service fee and to consider the fee my tip.

I know it's a cop out answer, but Mozart was a genius among geniuses. He can make an extremely complex piece of music sound so simple that anyone, even a non musician, can appreciate it. There are so many layers to how complex it is, but if you just listen to the melody, it almost sounds trivial.

Those are the artists that I like most. Artists that can make art that both artists and nonartists can equally appreciate.

I watched a coworker run rm -rf * from / as root the other day. He started wondering why things weren't working. I told him what he just did, but he didn't get it at all. Luckily it was a VM that could be recreated from a template. He probably lost 30 minutes of time. But it could have been waaaay worse if it wasn't a disposable VM.

I wasn't working under a contract, but I worked for a company that got bought out by another. On my resume, I didn't want it to look like I changed jobs, so I put them as one job, with the name of the company being, "Company A (merged from Company B)"

Maybe you could do something like that.

I mean, they look nice, but I don't dislike whatever the default font that I use is, and I'm definitely not going to go out of my way to change a font. As long as it's legible, I don't really give two shits what the font is.

You can have bots in Teams although I haven’t found any particularly useful ones yet.

I meant more of writing them yourself. My old company used Mattermost, and we wrote a bot to choose where to eat for lunch each day. It would pick 3 choices from a list that anyone could add to, and we would vote on those three options or veto.

I like having the option to make my own bots.

The only time I have had it not be able to use my mic was when I had some issue with my whole computer and no app could use my mic. It could have been a driver crash or something. But other than that, I haven't had that issue. Slack ALWAYS has that issue for me, though.

For missing features, you can't add custom emojis, you can't have bots, searching chat history is horrible (almost to the point where it's not usable), there's no markdown for spoilers, code blocks, italics, etc. so you have to click the buttons for it (not sure if spoilers even exist in Teams), code blocks are really clunky, you can't link other conversations.

When my work briefly used Slack, it was really nice for text chat. But some teams just didn't switch, and there's just so much value having everyone on one platform. Fragmenting users was very counterproductive, so we went back to Teams.

I'm not a huge fan of Teams, as it lacks critical features that alternatives have. But I've never experienced anything that would make me say it's broken. What exactly are you referring to?

Idk, but this issue was discovered by "Trellix" which is McAfee.

I wonder if McAfee changing their name to Trellix to escape how much the general public hates them will work better than Comcast rebranding as Xfinity.

I gave up and put a lemmy instance on mine.
