I can understand Teams in Office, particularly O365 for organizations… what I don’t get is Teams being mandatory in Windows 11…

[–] aurelian@lemmy.ml 42 points 1 year ago (30 children)

Seriously you can't have windows without having teams now?

I have a feeling when I finish rebuilding my gaming PC I'm not going to be a fan of using windows again...

When can I get an iPhone without iMessage being preinstalled? Microsoft is, if anything, late to the party on this kind of anti-user BS.

[–] Saneless@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or any of the i shit on there. And can you still not even change the default app for some things?

[–] steltek@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Last I checked, opening links in iOS with alternate browsers is very app-specific and requires a hack using a different protocol. E.g. Chrome registers itself as a handler for the "httpChrome" protocol and the app needs to do Open("httpChrome://lemmy.ml"). It's far worse than anything Microsoft did with IE back when they got sued.

Ew. I had an iphone for a year and I couldn't handle it

…do you not know about the IE lawsuits?

iPhone without iMessage being preinstalled?

Someone wants a choice, yet chooses platform that does not provide a choice? Wondering if there is any other platform that allows you to customize your phone. Hmmm. 🤔🤔🤔

Hooooooold on, let me be crystal clear: I'm never buying an iPhone.

The point was that if the EU is going to go on an anti-bundling campaign, there's a long line ahead of MS Teams of more egregious behavior.

…so you were talking about a phone you don’t use or plan on using, in a comparison against work software that you’re practically forced to use?
