the ms teams app on android has the worst notification handling i've ever seen. you can have the app open to a specific conversation and you'll STILL get a notification every single time someone messages in chat it's obscene. like surely they'd go "ok the dude already has the app open so they're seeing the messages so we should suppress notifications" but apparently that's too hard/they're too dumb/anroid

its not like its much better on a desktop. windows client will steal focus with every notification and the OSX one uses some bespoke notifications instead of the default OS ones so you can't swipe to dismiss them

they use the same custom notification banners on both oses so it can be bad on both.

just had a fun time in a meeting today when I was sharing my screen and a Teams notification came up. I though I would discreetly set Teams to DND via the systray but if you right-click on it the whole window comes to the front so everyone got a nice screen-full of coworker meme&gif spam.

I wish that was true but I don't want to think about the number of times where someone messages me in teams and it steals cursor focus and I start typing in a completely different application. even more annoying if someone posts something off-hours or on the weekend and I forget to quit teams, minimizes out of any fullscreen app on every.single.notification

IIRC, it does both on Linux: steal your focus and use a non-standard notification system.

it makes me incredibly mad. there's exactly one reason to use a blinking cursor in a text field and it's to indicate that it's an active field that will receive input when you type. if it's not, don't animate a loving cursor in it you goddamn hacks. there's 40 loving years of UI conventions behind this. don't just start doing whatever because you feel like it.

got a cute lil popup in my gmail saying that i can no longer call through g chat and i have to use google voice. problem is they already trained me off gchat since they keep trying to push new chat apps and im super not going to keep up with that. an integrated chat client in an email client is such a great feature and its loving hilarious how much they've hosed it up

all oses are poses, this much is known. and while most of them are comical, fuchsia is in the category of oses that exist solely to provide comedy (such as hurd) and have no practical application.

It's the first Windows program in my entire life where you can't change the default notification sounds. You can't even replace the WAV files or whatever, because they're doing some bullshit now where there aren't even any
