Hopefully fax machines, but these things seem incapable of dying.

War Deutschland bis ca. 2003 nicht Weltmarktführer in Sachen Photovoltaikanlagen? Hmm, was da wohl wieder passiert ist?

“Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.”

If you cannot identify this line…

“Obviously, you’re not a golfer.”

Also wer sich den Werbeblock vor der Tagesschau ansieht, kommt zu einem ganz anderen Ergebnis.

In my experience, teams has performance issues, consumes a lot of system resources, and has a confusing, unintuitive interface. I also find it outrageous that the teams app adds itself back to autostart every time you use it.

I also have concerns about where my data is stored and how it is processed.

Yeah, I’ve been there too – it’s really sad that people are so incredibly incompetent – I had this happen to me even with an advertising agency that makes millions in sales, where we were the client. It’s really unbelievable. These are all highly paid people and they have no idea what they’re doing. Really just empty talk and not the slightest bit of substance behind it.

Yes, I’ve also experienced this several times. However, I still don’t understand what the problem is with contacting customers who use Teams via some other solution. I can only explain it with ignorance that borders on incompetence.

Yes, that’s clear, but I think Teams is still terrible even in this situation. I really can’t imagine a use case where this app would be a good choice - even if everyone uses Office. What are the advantages? What are people doing that couldn’t be done with any other solution? I realize that it’s probably mainly because employees are set in their ways, but is there really an objective reason why it has to be Teams? And as I said, I mean that even if you ignore the data protection nightmare that this application is.

Edit: Sorry, I probably misread that. I assume you use Teams because every employee has an MS365 subscription anyway. That seems like a waste of money to me tho, because every Office app can be replaced with a free open source app – except perhaps in the few cases of Excel power users. But that’s just my opinion – in corporate practice, things look very different.

Apart from all the absurd stuff MS does with user data, I simply cannot understand why people use Teams - it’s a terrible app for video calls.

Not so long ago, that would have been a perfectly legitimate reason to dismantle this corporation. Nowadays, I don’t think even a larger fine will be imposed.

There is really no longer any need for dystopian visions of the future, because they are already here - mainly because the average internet user somehow has no problem with being monitored 24/7 by techno-fascists. It’s just sad.

There is a Canadian movie called “Beans”, but it’s a drama…

Based on true events, Tracey Deer’s debut feature chronicles the 78-day standoff between two Mohawk communities and government forces in 1990 Quebec.

And of course there’s the documentary about Lemmy Kilmister that is called - lo and behold: “Lemmy”

This unlawful attempt at forced brainwashing is truly scandalous and absolutely intolerable with its repugnant double standards.

No one disputes that the terrorist attack by Hamas was brutal.

Nevertheless, this by no means justifies the genocide being committed by Israel. There are also horrific images of this, of starving children, cold blooded murder of civilians and unbearable suffering - and Israel is even using every means at its disposal to prevent the world from seeing the full extent of their own atrocities.

If Israel were to adhere even remotely to international law and human rights, Thunberg would not be there.

It is absurd that this country continues to portray itself as the victim. They are the perpetrators and responsible for crimes against humanity.

These savages who represent Israel are truly the scum of the earth.

Yes, and I think that was only possible back then because venture capital firms got involved pretty late. Then, as a result of the dot-com bubble they themselves caused, they burned through a lot of money and destroyed a lot of jobs. Ultimately, they shifted their focus to investing heavily in companies where it was clear how profitable they would become and that their market power could be expanded through acquisitions.

Today, it seems almost impossible to me that a startup without investors could achieve the same level of success as those early Internet companies that have become global corporations. If someone has a good idea, the company is either bought out immediately, or the idea is simply stolen by companies such as Rocket Internet, whose deep pockets quickly ensure that the copy prevails over the original.

This appears to be a mix-up: OP presumably means Blackstone, a large US real estate investor that owns thousands of residential properties in the Netherlands.

Those two morons, of all people. We’re really screwed.

CLYD is a badass

And all Americans live in a sinking state.
