I love this!
Now if Zoom would stop insisting I install their stupid client and just accept that I want to join from my browser.
Zoom, Webex, Teams, are all a disease.
They make it so I can work from home 100%, so I have to disagree.
Their concept is good. Their execution is what is lacking.
Be the change you want to see
And then go directly to bankruptcy because of unfair competition practices.
I hate Teams so much. It's nothing but an engine for generating distractions.
Do they honestly think we need an alert when someone reacts to a post? "Everyone pay attention! An emoji has been posted in the group chat!"
"Kif, I've made it with a woman, inform the men"
What annoys me now is that I get notifications for messages on a group I already have focus on.
Slack huddles?
There are so many alternatives
Remember, if they don’t give you a device to install programs for work, Kira’s right you shouldn’t.
If it's required for my job, then you should be prepared to provide me with tools to access it.
And I will, with a straight face, tell you I do not have a smartphone or laptop while playing a game and texting right in front of you. It doesn't matter if those are mine or if I'm borrowing them, because they aren't the company's property, and the company does not decide what goes on them.
Corrrrrrrrrrrect! That’s transporter room 3 for you, based labor empathy through and through.
This is why it's O'Brien's favorite.
Fair! Personally, I'm ok using my own phone for 2FA vs. getting a Yubikey or something. 2FA apps nowadays frequently have the flow where you tap a button in the app instead of copying down a 6-digit code. I like the convenience.
Pretty much anything involving Intune can GTFO, though.
Yeah but last time I tried to install my own device I ended up in this situation:
That’s why you don’t put software on your devices for employers. He installed shit into hims’ brainsz.
I have a slight personal conundrum. I agree with thus in principle, and so when the company decided everyone would get a laptop (I prefer to work from home, and while computers exist at the office and for some field techs, plus there is a terminal server, until now I used personal 99% of the time) I was excited and happy.
On the other hand, I've done the two phones thing in the past and now I really don't feel like it. Of course, I don't want any of their MDM on my phone either, and if they start trying to enforce that I may have to bite demanding a phone too.
Either way, it should be an option to have either a company phone or reimbursement if you choose to just have your 1 phone. Containerized MDM would be nice too, since that should ostensibly mean a remote wipe only affects their data/apps and prevents personal/work from interacting.
They could always issue controlled software devices as part of the employment package, stuff that you return at termination or pay for otherwise
Is it possible to install company apps and yank out their remote wipe and other unnecessary permissions with ADB or even better, install the apps to Waydroid+Magisk?
Exactly
This reminds me of when I was adding wifi to the office for the first time and I had one guy convinced it was gonna give him cancer and refused to come into work.
HR made me sit down with him and explain why it won't give him cancer.
After a chat much like this I ended up printing off a booklet from the world health organization on it and he finally felt safe.
Wifi doesn't give you cancer, but 5G gives you Covid. /s
That's why the covid vaccines has chips in it. To stave off the 5G electronically so you don't get covid.
Hey at least you changed his mind, kudos for that
Explaining the word "non-ionizing" to people not familiar with current science can be a NIGHTMARE so good job.
It's even worse in Google Play
This is excellently done.
I had a choice when I took my meetings online in early 2020, Jitsi Meet (jitsi.org, FOSS) or Z (proprietary, and $$). I choose incorrectly. Right up until they put a part in their TOS, last September, saying they would use our video for training AI. I switched my meetings over to JItsi. Go FOSS, and don't go back.
Ha, I remember a coworker doing something with Jitsi back in 2020. He described it as 'being stuck in Jitsi-jail'!
TBF it's quite functional now. Maybe your coworker wished they were somewhere else. :-(
Indeed, that coworker ended up getting a different job around the end of the year. I'm 50/50 on "good for him" and "too bad" -- he sounded excited about the other gig, but he was cool. I miss working with him.
Awesome!
Great job finding stills with fitting expressions.
Not my creation. I found it elsewhere.
This just be a common comment by now, but the Bajoran military insignia looks like a vulva and I can't unsee it.
You jest, but I carry a sacrificial tablet with me so I don't need to install Zoom or Teams on my proper laptop that I am in love with.
Also, I disable its Wi-Fi when I'm done. Call me paranoid; I've been called worse.
Okay. That's fucking hysterical
It made me properly LOL when I saw it.
/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.
