> I can never property go back in time in a conversation, it always just loads the one message my search matched and won’t load in anything else around it.

This is by far my biggest gripe and the thing that makes the least sense that it’s be this way for so long. Conceptually it makes sense, it’s obviously easy to build since basically every other messaging app does message search this way. MSFT went out of their way to hobble their premier corporate chat tool for no good reason other than to bother users.

Maybe they will make message search show conversational context for Teams Premium subscribers (yes, that’s now a thing…)

In terms of tools that work essentially forces us to use Teams isn't actually all that bad and they've made a lot of progress since the time when Zoom became mainstream and pretty much every competing video chat was embarrassingly antiquated in comparison. Although frankly it's kind of sad it took Microsoft so longto up their game when they've owned Skype since 2011. If they had properly grown out Skype since they took ownership Zoom wouldn't be a Nasdaq listed company at this point.

Bans, permabans, crackdowns, blah blah blah. Toughen up and quit it with the sissy stuff, these people's sensitive little eyes will be ok if they see something they don't like. Lol

The web and the connected experience are better with fewer rules, nannies, and content moderators. I don't agree with all those things, but I don't need an online mommy. Yeehaw.

No shit it’s not running on an 8088. And the developer did have to write a post request in C to run from the PC. That’s more than I would have done. I’d just put a pi somewhere as a proxy and let flask handle all of it.

…fucking mad that a web-request based client isn’t running on an 8088. Fucking really?

Everyone loves to typecast most of the people in these odd internet subcultures as the stereotype of NEET from middle to lower-middle class households, who are entirely dysfunctional and can't handle even as much as bathing and grooming. Those people do exist.

But if there was one hard lesson I learned on Something Awful: "Beware what big fish lurk in the deep".

You never know who you are talking to.
