Computer science students can't be taught to install anything more obscure than the most popular app, I guess.

    What use does a CS class have for Discord? Shouldn't they have you using Microsoft Teams or Slack so you get accustomed to the garbage your future office will be on?

        Teams is great? it's no fuss calendars, meeting scheduling, group folders, high quality conference calls, screen sharing, remote control, it even works to external emails. way better than what platforms used to be like.

          uhhhh

          I dunno I only really use it for a once-a-week call and there's a new issue with the web UI in firefox approximately every other call. And that's now that they even support firefox (I think). Before I had to User-Agent spoof to use it. Plus outlook calendar now tries to attach a teams call to every new meeting you create so my coworkers are constantly sending out invites with teams calls that they didn't mean to create.

          I mean sure, better than 5-10 years ago, but compared to other existing solutions now it's nothing special IMO

      Discord is likely already installed on their devices. Less work for everyone involved.
