No way!

Wait, are they using Spongebobs toothbrush?

Ah yes, let's just let our old and disabled die, they deserve it for being the way they are! This train of thought has always lead to morally impeccable results!

Please re-think what you're saying, because it's disgusting on so many levels that I can't even begin to describe all the ways it's horribly wrong.

And let's not forget that Meta used their apps to track you in mobile browsers. Even having their apps installed for rare use is a terrible idea.

How are they monitoring and controlling my device when they don't have MDM access to it? Again, I created the work profile myself. All my company IT could have access to are the Microsoft apps I've installed in the work profile which is separated & turned off when I don't need it.

If I have a second phone, I need to keep it charged, remember to take it with me, and to turn it off after work. With everything integrated into my private phone it's much easier for me.

Yes.

It works for some of my colleagues & doesn't work for some others. You can also find bug reports in Microsofts trackers - they just don't care.

Yep. "Code Snippets" recently stopped working for me (the overlay doesn't open anymore), so I only have the two remaining ways. I can still do code blocks using three backticks, but inline code I can only do using the keyboard shortcut.

How they managed to fuck things up so badly is beyond me, and how they managed to keep them fucked up for so long is even further beyond.

Literally every week I encounter new bugs, it gets worse and worse. Many very basic features (like inline code with back ticks) just stopped working months ago and don't work anymore. Scrolling in some channels is completely broken, jumping around wildly. Sometimes messages just don't get sent (both on Android & Web). Sometimes calls work perfectly all day, then the next call just randomly changes audio device settings and I have to find what's wrong again. Sometimes the video stream of a shared screen just doesn't work, or stops working when switching to the small pop-up window while looking at chats, so the other person has to re-share. Sometimes the "available" state is just broken and keeps getting set to "away". The search just doesn't find many things, even when searching with fairly exact parameters.

It's a daily source of frustration & literally gets worse by the week. I can't remember a program that's made me angry as much as Teams has.

I actually like the flexibility, but Teams is installed in a work profile that I created. This way I can turn it off when the work day is over. Very useful!

Sure, discipline can prevent some errors. But it's always possible to run into wrong type assumptions, and I'd say type coercion and null/undefined access make up a fairly large percentage of non-logic errors. You can entirely prevent those using Typescript, which is why it's so useful.

Static type analysis is always a good idea if you're writing more than a couple lines. IMO Python is the worst offender with its kwargs etc. - discoverability and testability is just so bad if you're following common Python idioms.

It unquestionably is excellent. Can you name another language in common use with a type system that's close to the expressiveness of Typescript?

I get what you mean, but I have to disagree a bit. The slice of the multiverse we're looking at is special because we're looking at it. It only makes it irrelevant if the slices are treated as fully replaceable.

Take for example Invincible. The comics & series focus on a young superhero who could have become incredibly evil, but didn't. The multiverse is used to highlight this: it shows alternative versions of him that did become evil, and it even says that most alternative versions did so. This makes the version of him we focus on that much more special, and allows for interesting character progression through being confronted with his fears.

But it only works because of the restraint of the writers, never showing us another good version of Invincible, only focusing on evil alternatives.
