Työkoneen #Microsoft #Teams (kotonani ei M$ kukkoile) haluaa nyt luoda #ääniprofiili'n kuulemma erottaakseen puheääneni taustakohinasta. Muuten kuulostaa hyvältä… mutta hetkinen!!! Uskaltaako luovuttaa jotain tuollaista dataa amerikkalaiselle megayritykselle nykytilanteessa?! Taatusti menee suoraan #AI / #LLM-koulutukseen ja sitä myötä identiteettini varastamiseen. #Perkele, noinkohan pitää alkaa puhua hassusti kimittäen kaikissa etäkokouksissa? #atkjuttuja #BoycottUSA #työjuttuja #foliopipo

🧵 1/2: #Microsoft's #copilot is totally #trans 🏳️‍⚧️ phobic!

It will #gaslight you saying "ha ha ha, I can't talk about this I am only just learning!"🤭

Below, refusing to adjust #AI output to #gender #prompts. Interestingly, #Teams did adjust when I said "I am Laurence, adjust", which clearly shows a) it is possible b) it is by design Copilot has no recourse for #misgendering

PS: full disclosure: I am not trans myself, my name is misgendered in non #Francophone countries.

The writing was on the wall for a good few years, but it looks like my workplace is going to eventually say goodbye to #Slack and borg everyone into the parent company's Office365 system including #Teams.

I'm no fan of Slack, actually I hate anything that requires me to run a proprietary client … XMPP and IRC spoiled me I guess. We used to be on Atlassian's Hipchat, which I similarly despised but it did at least understand XMPP … initially that's exactly how I connected to it.

However, Atlassian shut down Hipchat in 2016-17 or so… and the recommended replacement was Slack so over we went.

bugs.gentoo.org/895890 suggests Microsoft *did* have a client (Electron-based if I recall correctly) but have since pulled it.

The good news is I've been told that Copilot is disabled for our workplace instance. (Hopefully it stays that way.)

I'd rather not tie up a browser tab just for the sake of a chat client. Does anyone know of a third-party open-source client for Microsoft Teams? Beeper I think was mentioned in relation to Slack … might investigate that… but I'm open to other options too.

#Microsoft hat uns das versprochen!

Horst Baier, CIO des Landes #Niedersachsen hofft, dass sich Konzern und US-Regierung an einen unterschriebenen Text hält und setzt für die Landesverwaltung auf #Teams und #M365.

Das Prinzip Hoffnung in der IT-Planung - mutige Entscheidung! Vor allem, weil es jeden Tag schwerer werden wird, aus den Microsoft-Diensten in Freie Alternativen umzusteigen, je mehr sich die Leute daran gewöhnen.
