I've been using this unofficial client for years, so it's been a while since I tried the PWA version. In my use, this client brings 2 things missing from PWA: notification count in the tray area, and respecting default browser for opening links.
I thought I could get by without a tray icon, but it turned out to be too cumbersome to have to explicitly open the window and make sure no one messaged me while I was at lunch, or whatever.
I use firefox for my main browser; and teams doesn't work great there. So I have to use Edge or Chrome. But then, when someone sends a link in Teams, it opens in that browser. This unofficial client acts like an actual standalone app and opens links in my default browser. Now if they sent a link that lands on some other office365 thing, there is about a 15% chance that just won't work ;)
But yeah, if you are able to mostly avoid this POS, then those 2 things likely don't matter and PWA is fine.
Semi-related: Why do sites grab search keystrokes (like '/' on github) to force me to use their crappy search when I'm trying to find content on the page I'm currently on?
As someone who administers DNS servers, I'm going to guess this is due to DNS being the first thing that gets blamed when something goes wrong; and it is almost never DNS.
So if there is an observation of an issue, it's reasonable to connect those dots, plus their statement on that page "All uptime, scalability, security updates, and guarantees are backed by Microsoft and their cloud infrastructure" pretty much says any issues are MS/Azure problems.
I had been using Swiftkey on my iPhone and in the middle of typing something, my keys disappear and is replaced with, what is effectively, an ad to use "Microsoft Speech Recognition". Extremely annoying to be in the middle of typing something and having to say "no thanks" to extra MS crap they are trying to shove onto you.
Previously, they also added a Bing AI button to the keyboard, but they did actually make a setting to disable that.
Edit: Upon mentioning this to a coworker and digging into this a bit more, it may have been that I accidentally clicked the microphone to bring up that screen, and that it didn't target an ad. I'm not quite sure what happened though, so I'm leaving my comment as is :)
It looks like after 3 more minutes of testing, it's a me problem. There is one particular file that goes bonkers, which just so happened to be the one I had up. If I start a new file in that project, or work on an existing file in a different project it's fine and the completion works as expected.
I can't make it work with the one file, but yeah...not a codeium problem at all. I'll be sure to test at least 5 minutes next time ;)
I'm definitely for any alternative to an MS solution (especially one where I have to give them actual money to use it), but I had kind of the same experience. Not extensive testing, and I'm using it in PyCharm, so I don't know if that changes the behavior.
The completion was weird. I tried to type "#Function to return the value passed". And it started to autocomplete with what I typed and what it was suggesting all jumbled up and completely unintelligible. Once I hit tab, it completed correctly, but it didn't make any sense until I hit tab, so I couldn't really see what I was completing until it was done.
The more I played with it, I noticed it started to not actually suggest anything. But the codeium plugin is just showing a wait spinner in my status bar, so maybe it's getting pounded with HN people testing it right now.
I thought "yes", but just tested and turns out it's more like "kinda". It doesn't do a full sync on shutdown, but if something is modified it sends a sync push , and that change will get picked up after a few seconds. So if you have a note that you modify, and then allow a few seconds, and then close...That modification will show up on other devices outside of a full sync.
But you can't open joplin, create a note, and then immediately exit and expect the note to show up on other devices. It will still exist on the device it was created on, so it's not lost, it just hasn't synced yet. It will automatically sync the next time you start joplin though.
In my case, I use the vim key bindings, and am so accustomed to hitting "<esc>:w" (which does perform a sync) when I'm finished writing the note, I never noticed.
I want an open source competitor to airtable. I use airtable very minimally, but what I do is on my phone, and makes use of barcode reading via the camera. I don't think any of the open alternatives support mobile, and I'm fairly certain none of them handle barcode reading (yet?). So far I think I'm stuck with airtable.
Specifically I am forced to use the horrible disaster that is MS Teams for work. So far, screensharing on Wayland with electron-based apps doesn't work.
I have used gnome pretty much since Fedora/RedHat started packaging it. For the past 2 years or so, I have been using Material Shell (https://material-shell.com/) which gives Gnome tiling functionality and I have been really happy with the overall experience.
But, just recently, a co-worker mentioned Sway. I have to use things that prevent me from using Wayland, so I decided to give i3 a try after touching it and not understanding it many years ago.
The point of my WM life story is, that after all that, I have stuck with i3 for about 3 weeks now and am falling in love with it. There were some gnome things that I missed, but was able to quickly piece things together to get the functionality I wanted. Being a vi guy also, I really like using modes for my keyboard shortcuts too. It definitely helps with my productivity (when I'm not playing with things to increase my productivity anyway :) )
