This is where I vent. Prepare for a lot of swearing.
I probably don’t like you.

Teams has got to be the most vile garbage released into the world, a productivity-erasing shit stain of an app.

#MicrosoftTeams

Look at this goddamn dumpster fire.

Tells me my version is out of date, offers to download an update and then immediately fails to do so. Fucking hell Microsoft, get your head out of your arse.

#MicrosoftTeams

I wonder how much longer until people start saying “heil Trump”, as this warmongering shitstain of a human is slowly setting the world on fire, one country at a time.

“Twenty-five years ago, SharePoint set out to help people share knowledge and work better together, a mission that today operates at extraordinary scale.”

Yes, an extraordinary piece of junk, the document toilet of every organisation. It should have died a violent death decades ago.

The LLM discourse on the Fediverse has really irked me the last few days.

Refusing to read writing made with the use of LLMs and refusing to give time to writers who use, promote or justify the use of LLMs is not purity culture, it's a boycott. It's a political act of withdrawing my time, resources and support for something that I find deeply morally wrong. It's protest. I have a choice and I refuse.

LLMs are exploitative, destructive, biased, mediocre parroting machines. Using them has a negative impact on the climate, the arts, the quality of the internet, the job market, the economy, the accessibility of electronics, even on skill development, creativity and mental health. LLMs are made and trained on the unpaid labour of millions -if not billions- of people who didn't consent. Their generic output litter the path to finding anything by true human creators.

Wherever I can, for as long as I can, I reject LLMs and anything that is related to them. I'm boycotting.

If you use expressions such as “vibe coding”, I would advise you not to come within kicking distance.

More and more apps are switching from charging once per major version to subscriptions. That’s fine: your app, your decision. But know that it’s a double-edged sword.

• If your app incurs server-side costs: perfectly fine!
• If you want to ensure a stable revenue stream: works for me. But tit for tat: I expect you to actually work on the app and actively maintain it.

If you have an app that does not require any server back-end, and has not seen updates in the last few months: big red flag!

And if you do decide to write an article instead of adding another dumb video onto the dumpster fire that is YouTube, do NOT use that walled garden piece of shit Medium.
Influencers: I detest you with every fibre of my being.

You know the adage “this meeting could have been an e-mail”? Well here’s a new one: “this video could’ve been an article”. And at least then I wouldn’t have to listen to your mindless drivel about likes and following your channel.
