So Github was really the perfect acquisation for the Microsoft portfolio. Applications with a big market share that are technically inferior to the competition.

// Luckily still a gitlab user, but recently forced to Microsoft Teams and office.



> recently forced to Microsoft Teams

my condolences to you and your team for that switch; it's my 2nd used-and-disliked thing (right next to atlassian) - oh well

but one cool feature i found with ms teams that zoom did not have (some years ago - no clue now) is turning off incoming video so you dont have to be constantly distracted in meetings

edit: oh yeah, re github actions and the user that said: > Glad I’m not the only one

me too, me too; gh actions seem frustrating (from a user hardly using gh actions, and more gitlab things - even though gitlab seems pretty wonky at times, too)


I prefer teams just for the fact that by default everyone can mute everyone else in the call. It just gives me peace of mind that if I ever leave my mic on by mistake, someone in the call would have my back and just mute me.


Pretty much any major teleconference software does that for a few years already.


Technical superiority is so irrelevant compared to distribution. Welcome to capitalism, where the market rewards marketing.
