For me its honestly a ton of my work software (digital forensics), shit is too niche to be replaced by good FOSS options. Cellebrite, Magnet Axiom, etc. Autopsy is great and free and has a linux version but it simply cannot get the same level of data without a pretty nutty level of custom code.

And the biggest side effect of this is FUCKING WINDOWS. God I would replace this nightmare OS in a heartbeat if the aforementioned work software would make linux compatible versions. We have legitimately wasted 10k hours dealing with windows bullshit that would not be a problem in linux. Though im sure linux would take a different 10k for its own problems.

What about you guys? Doesn’t have to be work related, thats just the thorn in my side right now.

    On my phone: a FOSS “find-my-phone” function

    On my computer: a FOSS way to access Teams for work. Just give me a Weechat plugin please.

      KDE Connect can find your phone, as long as it’s on the same network (basically, only at home). It’s not perfect but it’s something.

        That is what I do…but I work for 4 companies that all use Teams and it would be nice to have all the profiles in one place.

          Ah yes, maybe you’re in IT like me. 😆

          Firefox Containers help, I have a separate container for each client. Actually I’ve been using Arc Browser more recently, it’s a great browser but not FOSS.

            I’ve done that before. I work in higher education, actually. None of my employers actually need Teams. I don’t know why we use it. All important info is sent via email.

          Oh, and you can do that even in the official application? I thought it was impossible to be logged into multiple Teams accounts at the same time! (That was one of the reasons I was using Teas in a browser, being able to open another instance in a private window.) Or did they finally fix that, at least?
