This state made the open-source shift, and chances are it won't be the last.

        How exactly does one suck a fuck?

        With consent, of course.

    Saved you a click - because they’re ‘done with Teams’

      I don’t blame them, Teams is trash. It’s the worst software that I have to work with on a daily basis.

          To truly understand how trash it is requires the opposite actually

          I know how to use Teams. I know its trash because the layout is unintuitive and the UI is slow. I know these because all of the other sites and applications I use do it better.

    It’s Schleswig-Holstein (a german state) and they’re pretty serious about it (they want to fully move to Open Source / Linux in the next three months)

      The article states it’s 30000 users! Doing that is 300 users per day! People who probably also want extra support initially.
      It would be extremely impressive to do it that fast.

        Surely with the money they would save in licensing they can hire more support staff to help bridge the gap
