I wish HN had a convention of identifying links as video in the title, the way it does with years for older articles. On my RSS reader, I can't see the domain before clicking. It's no fun to unwittingly wake up my wife with a sudden loud shouted epithet on a Saturday morning.

I propose !yt in honor of search engine bang codes. E.g.

   !yt F**k Teams

Interestingly it loads for me muted by default. I have to tap unmute.

The guidelines state "If you submit a video or pdf, please warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title.", which this post hasn't done

i mean, the domain is youtube.com. feels like this should be provided by HN automatically

I didn't know that. ChatGPT, please rephrase my gripe accordingly.

The RSS feed would be greatly improved for all links if the domain, or even full url, was displayed.

Mute your volume?

Can't wait for the AI generated videos of the Dalai Lama telling me that microservices are bullshit, or maybe the pope saying your website had too much javascript.

LOL! As an Indian, I find the "Guru" vibe and the Indian accent did a much better trick (after clicking around and after learning that he ain't Indian). The final subtle touch is the subtitle slapped on to the video by default (I was clicking the CC button but realized this was etched). ;-)

Have fun.

I work on trucks for a living so i mostly just cosplay a programmer in my spare time, but I had a single teams meeting with our wellness/HR rep at the shop last year about an accident i had and that took almost an hour, had to be restarted three times, and ended with one last awkward silence as the call dropped and we texted eachother a goodbye. I think we both just sort of agreed to be more careful? idk...she transformed into some weird robot so often it was hard to tell what point we were trying to agree on.

IDK if it was just my teams or we didnt pay for the good teams but god in heaven if you do more than one Teams a year i feel sorry for you.

I use it all the time without video and it's fine.

It's not perfect, there are occasional connection problems, but dropouts are pretty rare.

I thought this was a day for lies. This is the stone cold truth.

This guy is gold! I just went down his YouTube rabbit hole and have tears in my eyes.

"Stop worrying. Your worries are like the safety instructions that flight attendants give before take off. One day when you are about to die you will not remember them and they will not matter. So don't worry."

beautiful quote.

Also ChatGPT is insanely useful for turning fragmented YT transcripts with timestamps into actual paragraphs of text.

"Fuck your deadline. They call it a deadline but nobody actually fucking dies if you miss one. So just fucking chill."

"PowerPoint - there is no power in those points and no point in those presentations. We have been brainwashed into believing that PowerPoint gives us the power to express ourselves creatively, but the only power it has is to kill our souls. Powerpoint and your Excel spreadsheet too - those columns and rows represent the metal bars of the prison cell of your brain. Free yourself from the soul-killing software of exile and PowerPoint and live a more meaningful existence. "

Regarding deadlines, I absolutely adore this quote by Douglas Adams:

> I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by.

It's basically the same as yours, but instead of telling you not to care, Adams basically demonstrates the peace of mind he seems to have achieved by not caring himself. Plus, he apparently had a reputation for not delivering his manuscripts on time, so it seems to be genuine :)

What’s everyone’s favorite way to fake a connectivity issue?

For the past month, about 3 days a week, I've been doing 2 hour teams calls where I'm the primary speaker (I'm KTing an app to a new support team).

For 4 of these calls, my home Internet has dropped randomly. It's kind of nice when that happens.

Teams (and Outlook) rarely connect within the first few hours of each workday. I win.

Using a bluetooth headset is a good start, on every call there is always someone with shitty airpods or some bluetooth headset with terrible audio.

Interesting, this is a Muslim man, using a Sikh name (singh) to mock Indian gurus. I wonder what the uptake would be if he was mocking Muslim leaders.

I laughed. I cried.

Laughing at our misery

Gotta love the teams mute button that is unresponsive for 5-10 seconds if your disk is under high IO.
