@Applied-Mediocrity they’re making more anime titty mods as you type.

Not to worry. I've stumbled upon at least three different mods already.

You can filter the titties. It's the soft pussy I look forward to! 😘

Hey,

Hmm, that's definitely not right.

Since last update, Steam no longer has a taskbar button. I tried to find a setting to toggle so I can have it back, but I couldn't find anything.
They should at least have had the decency of making the icon in the notification area bring the UI to the front without changing where I was.

I too had the version from Dec 16th, but no taskbar button.
However, a second close/restart cycle seems to have made the trick and now I have a taskbar button again.
I guess this was not something they've intentionally introduced then. Just some weird transient bug.

status: someone failed formatting I guess.

@Tsaukpaetra totally. Having italics in that spot is a bad idea.

@Tsaukpaetra *No.* I don't know what a QR Code is, but I'm guessing they're supposed to be scanned.

Well played, guys, well played.

I had a fun snowflake idea of storing images in QR codes. Turns out people actually do that seriously.

@Carnage next you’ll be storing images directly on the blockchain!

Yes, apply that to the post directly above yours instead of the one you quoted... I'm pretty sure someone mentioned before that people have added CSAM to bitcoin. So now the whole thing should be illegal or something. (Maybe they just added the hashes though? Not quite sure.)

It's actual images.

Have you teased the idea to Swampers?

MS Teams uses circles with your initials as a default avatar. Domain accounts tend to be displayed as, "LastName, FirstName MiddleInitial." In its wisdom, Teams interprets this as:
LM
...instead of what you'd expect:
LF
...or better yet:
FL

Ours does it as LF.
It does also take the first word (including the comma) from the display name as the name to use for notifications so they show like:
LastName, reacted
LastName, mentioned you

@boomzilla Are you saying their avatar CDN needs improvement?
-
@loopback0 I guess I should also say that I see the same thing in Outlook.
-
@boomzilla
Outlook for me just seems to take the first letter of whatever the first two words are, unless the first character isn't a letter then it ignores the word entirely.
The results are mostly the same as Teams but not entirely.Good work, Microsoft.

Which given that Active Directory should know the names correctly (the Azure version explicitly has givenName and surname keys, no idea about regular Active Directory) it’s really quite embarrassing.

Regular AD has those fields too.

@loopback0 so basically Teams has no fucking excuse.

To a large extent I believe it depends on some setting somewhere in the domain setup.

… the same setup, probably.

… provided the admins didn't mix them up, and that Outlook or Teams or whatever knows which convention is being used.
The company I currently sub(sub)contract for has the e-mails as “Surname Givenname <givenname.surname@domain.com>” for the Europeans. Note the absence of the usual comma. And of course my company has it “Givenname Surname <givenname.surname@otherdomain.com>”. So of course the autocompletion they recently added to Outlook, when I start writing
Hi
, always suggests Surname instead of Givenname.But for the Indian department, it seems to be the other way around. Well, and the Indians tend to have two given names so it's a wild guess to know by which one they are usually called anyway.
Names are hard, let's go shopping!

@Bulb Or that you're using ActiveDirectory at all. Teams does that for us, and we're a mac shop that doesn't have any form of company-side management on such things.
-
@Benjamin-Hall Teams works on top of (Azure) Active Directory always by design. You have to have Microsoft accounts to use Teams and Microsoft accounts exist in Azure Active Directory (AAD) (which in turn exists in an Azure subscription).

But if you're a Mac shop, it's highly likely that the admins didn't do anything to manage AAD beyond initial setup, and aren't going to bother with managing the display name property beyond what gets automatically configured from givenName/surname.

@izzion Who . If the admin is y, they may flip around a couple of switches to see what they do.

I doubt they did anything. We don't really have an inward-facing admin other than the overworked deployment guy. Who doesn't have time or energy for such foolishness.

A quarter-century ago, the BibTeX folks pondered (and save for the weirdest cases, solved) the problem of how to parse names like Charles André Joseph Marie de Gaulle or Jean de la Fontaine du Bois Joli. Then Microsoft hired Leslie Lamport—and produces this

@LaoC I remember dealing with AAD in parts of the world where only having a single name was common. AAD fails at this but not as hard as the HRIS system wired up to it…

If I ever get a citizenship in another country, I intend to only have a first name in that citizenship. Just to be an asshole to shitty developers.

You should also make sure that the name is legally all lower case and misspelt relative to some much more common name. See just how many get it wrong…
-
@Carnage which is most of them.
The number of systems that insist in having first name/last name is obscene.
I feel sorry for the folks who got “Not Assigned”, “Null” or —- as their “first name” as different systems couldn’t handle the idea of a user with only a “surname”. The usual compromise was to enter the same name twice.
The reality is never that the developers suffer, it’s that the poor users are expected to just get on with it.
Similarly users who expect to put in their middle names are inevitably fucked over in the opposite direction (middle names are sometimes supported but often as a second class citizen).
And that’s before you have the French who do things like “Michel MICHEL” to indicate that the second name is their surname because it’s not uncommon to have a surname that could also be a given name.
Names are hard and solveable in most places with a single “name” box. Though this does lead to other drama as shown but honestly for the purposes of “showing initials in Teams”, just pick the first two capital letters and go with it.

...and regret it immediately, as your life turns to hell because countless public and private services refuse to accept your name.
