ooh, new dark pattern I discovered today.

Stuck with MS Teams at $DAYJOB, I continue to hold onto the thick-client instead of succumbing to the heavy-weight web client.

Just about every time I switch to the app after a couple hours of not using it, it pops up a "This is unsupported" interruption with a link to learn more, HUGE, colorful "Try it on the web" button, and a smaller light "continue using this antiquated unsupported piece of junk" type button.

As if that wasn't bad enough, as dark patterns go, when you tab through the controls, focus lands on the "more information" link and on the "try it on the web" button, but the "continue using this" simply won't focus with the keyboard. You HAVE to reach for the mouse to click the "continue using this"

Have I mentioned how much I loathe using MS products, and Teams in particular?

apropos of nothing, this crossed my feed just now

WAIT, did Win2k seriously put the windows logo in the bin??

How did I miss that?

@rl_dane @gumnos nope, there was no windows logo in the trash. Looks like that one was taken from https://www.deviantart.com/glestheartist/art/Windows-Recycled-icons-74520434
