for some reason the very first Linux I tried was a French-language distro. I do not speak French

le GNU l'ajouter Linux

J'aimerais juste intervenir un instant. Ce que vous appelez Linux est en fait GNU/Linux, ou comme j'ai récemment pris l'habitude de l'appeler, GNU plus Linux. Linux n'est pas un système d'exploitation en soi, mais plutôt un autre composant libre d'un système GNU entièrement fonctionnel rendu utile par les corelibs GNU, les utilitaires shell et les composants système vitaux comprenant un système d'exploitation complet tel que défini par POSIX.

De nombreux utilisateurs d'ordinateurs utilisent quotidiennement une version modifiée du système GNU, sans s'en rendre compte. Par une tournure particulière des événements, la version de GNU qui est largement utilisée aujourd'hui est souvent appelée "Linux", et nombre de ses utilisateurs ne savent pas qu'il s'agit essentiellement du système GNU, développé par le projet GNU.

Il existe vraiment un Linux, et ces gens l'utilisent, mais ce n'est qu'une partie du système qu'ils utilisent. Linux est le noyau : le programme du système qui alloue les ressources de la machine aux autres programmes que vous exécutez. Le noyau est une partie essentielle d'un système d'exploitation, mais inutile en soi ; il ne peut fonctionner que dans le cadre d'un système d'exploitation complet. Linux est normalement utilisé en combinaison avec le système d'exploitation GNU : l'ensemble du système est fondamentalement GNU avec Linux ajouté, ou GNU/Linux. Toutes les distributions dites "Linux" sont en réalité des distributions de GNU/Linux.

I wish that I'd been there when he made that little speech so I could have let it hang silently for about four seconds, then said "okay, that's very interesting to know. For convenience, though, I'm going to just call it Linux, okay?"

teams has new unsightly animated emoji. but you can also use the system emoji picker and it uses the system emoji font for those. good use of engineering resources there

oh I guess they changed that thing where Edge alt-tab behaviour was to show each tab separately instead of just the application. conveniently no longer part of Edge's settings but outside in a separate control panel called Multitasking lmao

like 90% of my teams experience is trying to remember if the important info was pasted into the chat room with alice bob carol dave and ethel or the one with just alice carol and dave or was it the one james started with bob and carol, or wait maybe carol sent it to me directly, no it’s not there either, hmm,

my teams is actually pretty stable all things considered. main thing it does is magically switch my audio settings and/or just disable my mic between calls

is that a bluetooth headset that has both speaker profile and handsfree profile?

if so, in the new (Metro-style) control panel go into sound -> manage sound devices.
disable the input and output devices that are the handsfree ones.

Teams is fine apart from forgetting which screen it lives on, but there's a 50/50 chance of snip & sketch immediately crashing the first time I use it each day. After that it's fine again until the next login.

same, but webex

when I was on a team that was subcontracted out to a customer for staff augmentation it was even worse because for anything discussed with that customer I'd have to check both our webex and their teams

before i had tried removing the headset while keeping the headphones via the old device driver settings and got nowhere with it so i assumed i was hosed

glad to hear it!

I'm a big idiot who has a music headset and a meetings headset so I know the pain.

(plus, windows has decided to stop connecting to my music headset when it turns on. I have to go into settings and press connect. un-pairing and re-pairing didn't fix it. thanks, windows.)

Over the weekend my "Azure Portal" access expired so I clicked to "Resubmit request" in the notification email, and renewed all the authorizations that were available. So that when I needed it, I have full access again.

Well joke's on me because when I had to use it later, some stupid token couldn't be found and poo poo didn't work. Took most of the day to find out that the roles you request from the email notifying you about expired Portal access does not include the authorization that just expired.

I actually prefer the handsfree profile for meetings since it seems to have lower latency. It usually works on the Jabra headset, but sometimes it randomly doesn't!

i have some cheap soundcore (ie anker) headphones that work quite well but if i go into headset mode they kinda suck and then they also stop working properly when i switch back to headphone mode. i have to cycle them off and on again to fix it. so dumb so i prefer to leave them in headphones mode (latency is fine) and use my laptop's mic (also fine)

teams meetings are mostly fine, but the client itself and the chat are so loving awful cause the UI design is poo poo and the javascript is poo poo.

teams search is especially bad because whatever they have for an indexing service is garbage and it takes forever to return results. On top of that when you click a message it doesnt show in context cause previously when they tried to show search results in context it would take 1000x as long and/or lock up the client cause javascript and interns.

its abysmal.
