My last email was received at 5.5 hours ago. Teams chat and meetings are the only thing in Microsoft 365 that seem to be working. All our Azure infrastructure seems fine so this is something 365-specific.

Everyone has occasional outages but this is the worst 365 outage our org has seen since starting with M365 in 2019.

2018 featured a bad one. Couldn't find a good article, but I remember it being basically all day.

I mean, I think the teams hate can be funny sometimes, but I honestly don’t get it. I’ve used all of the BIG programs. They’re all the fucking same. I can’t point to a single thing that Teams does drastically worse than any of the other options. I think it’s just a meme.

I’d agree.

I think it does _too much_ and the performance is _bad_ but it’s rock-solid for video and audio calls - more than even FaceTime or analog calls.

It has copied all the features it just does them all a bit worse.

I find the teams app to be really flakey. It changes time zones on me at random for a moment at a time.

It's mainly that traumatic new message sound for me.

Preface: I have zero love for Slack. It’s a thing. It’s fine. I can take or leave it.

Using Teams after being used to Slack is like going from VSCode to Eclipse. I’m sure this thing is powerful, but it looks weird, it feels weird, it moves like January molasses, and it has a million features I’m completely uninterested in. I’m sure some people get value from all the baroque. I am not one of them.

(I’d rather be using IRC and Emacs but the world has other ideas.)

		Not a slack power user by any means. But went from Slack to Teams and barely noticed much of a difference. We chat when it’s small and pick up the phone when it’s not. I don’t want to automate and add plugins and whatever; I want to do my work, but occasionally that means talking with other people over chat, I type and they see it. Needs met.

I haven't used others, but can they really also not search through the history and jump *fully* to that point? In teams I have to adapt my search once I reach end of context so the context changes.

Discord gets hate for their bad search, but it's vastly superior to teams.

Since Microsoft rebrands quite often, perhaps it will be called M364 now?

		It might be M363 now.

Truly, we are in dark times.
