So... that horrible abomination (by all accounts, haven't used it in years) of "Skype for business" has been EOL'd. So now, if you *really* want to hog-tie yourself and your business (and its future), ensure both are ripe for ongoing exploitation, and guarantee that you'll be locked into proprietary software by open source's self-proclaimed biggest mega-corporate booster, best sign up for Microsoft Teams! https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-will-drop-skype-for-business-online-on-july-31-2021/ Reality is becoming more absurd by the second.

@lightweight Someone at work is pushing teams. I prefer email in most situations. Teams seems very resource heavy, it slows down my computer at work if I have it open.
@theonefreeman Seems like a lose-lose... Here's my full thinking on why no organisation benefits from using a proprietary chat system: https://davelane.nz/why-slack-better-and-why-open-communities-shouldnt-use-it
@theonefreeman Microsoft Teams also means, if I'm not mistaken, that the archive of your organisation's collaboration which has untold value with respect to tacit information is held hostage by the Microsoft Corporation. I'm willing to be there's no useful export format if you want to pull your data out. Plus it locks you into the platforms that Microsoft anoints (e.g. despite their much trumpeted "love" for it, MSFT's systems generally don't support Linux users).
