What non-FOSS software are you using that you wish you could replace?

For me its honestly a ton of my work software (digital forensics), shit is too niche to be replaced by good FOSS options. Cellebrite, Magnet Axiom, etc. Autopsy is great and free and has a linux version but it simply cannot get the same level of data without a pretty nutty level of custom code.

And the biggest side effect of this is FUCKING WINDOWS. God I would replace this nightmare OS in a heartbeat if the aforementioned work software would make linux compatible versions. We have legitimately wasted 10k hours dealing with windows bullshit that would not be a problem in linux. Though im sure linux would take a different 10k for its own problems.

What about you guys? Doesn't have to be work related, thats just the thorn in my side right now.

Access Teams? Do you need anything more than opening the Teams web app in a browser?

That is what I do...but I work for 4 companies that all use Teams and it would be nice to have all the profiles in one place.

Ah yes, maybe you're in IT like me. 😆

Firefox Containers help, I have a separate container for each client. Actually I've been using Arc Browser more recently, it's a great browser but not FOSS.

I've done that before. I work in higher education, actually. None of my employers actually need Teams. I don't know why we use it. All important info is sent via email.

Oh, and you can do that even in the official application? I thought it was impossible to be logged into multiple Teams accounts at the same time! (That was one of the reasons I was using Teas in a browser, being able to open another instance in a private window.) Or did they finally fix that, at least?
