The problem with Team is it goes yellow when IT'S idle, not you. That was a big adjustment when we went to Teams, understanding that someone can be furiously working away at their computer while Teams is reporting yellow. You send them a message and BAM it goes green when they see the notification and read your message. Pretty ridiculous, really, since the bulk of the software is all Microsoft...why can't Outlook tell Teams, "Hey, she's writing an email, the icon says green, silly."
Luckily my boss and colleagues all recognize Teams limitations on the idle status and we just get our work done. I'm not going to attempt to game it - but then I work when I say I'm working and the job gets done, so management isn't breathing down our necks about idle status.
Yup, was at a party last night and of course someone had to mention the holiday in the US tomorrow (Juneteenth) with "A most ridiculous excuse for a holiday, but that's another discussion" right in the middle of a harmless conversation. Like he just had to say it.
Fell down the rabbit hole of great links in this article that led me to others and others, and the whole concept of enshittification. Wow. Glad I lifted by tired Reddit head out of the sand. Still going through some withdrawals, but enjoying poking around Kbin, Mastodon and Squabbles the last few days.
This is a good idea. I joined Mastadon with the influx last November, got confused and didn't return until the current Reddit debacle. I'm trying harder now to understand, but what would have helped was 1) a simple guide to getting logged in and 2) finding content and 3) being able to view it and reply (including understanding if I was supposed to use hashtags, etc.). Get someone started with a short list of popular communities/magazines, THEN show them how to branch out. #trainingwheels
Why would Reddit give a crap about Apollo related content when they themselves are putting Apollo out of business? Like, if you really don't care about the third party apps, then just continue to keep your back turned and just ignore them. Jeez.
As a fed, anything plugged into a port is automatically logged and checked, and can result in a nastygram or more serious infraction. We periodically get emails about inappropriate connections - we can't even use the USB to charge our work phones.
Then came the email that told us they knew about X instances of mouse jigglers and told us to cut it out. I wonder if managers got notified.
