Chatgpt response:

"It does seem like ChromeOS is constrained in a way that prevents it from reaching its full potential as a versatile operating system. While Google's emphasis on a lightweight, secure, and user-friendly environment is commendable, it does limit the kind of software that can be run, especially compared to Windows.

Here are some points that highlight your concerns:

1. **Limited Software Installation**: ChromeOS primarily supports web and Android apps, which can feel limiting compared to the vast array of desktop applications available on Windows. Opening up ChromeOS to support more robust software could indeed make it a more compelling option for many users.

2. **Monopoly Issues**: Google’s control over ChromeOS and the built-in Chrome browser does raise questions about monopolistic practices. Allowing more browser choices and making it easier to install alternative software could address these concerns.

3. **Market Share and Innovation**: Google might be intentionally keeping ChromeOS in a niche market to avoid antitrust scrutiny. However, the lack of aggressive market expansion and innovation leaves many potential improvements untapped, frustrating users who see the potential in Chromebooks.

4. **Past Innovation**: Google’s early 2000s era was marked by significant innovations like Gmail and Android. There’s a sense that this spirit of bold, user-driven development has diminished.

For those looking to push the boundaries of their Chromebooks, projects like **Crostini** (Linux on ChromeOS) and **Lacros** (a new Chrome browser architecture) offer some potential. However, they still don’t fully bridge the gap between ChromeOS and a more open operating system like Windows or traditional Linux distributions.

Your frustrations resonate with many who see the potential for Chromebooks to be more than just "wifi typewriters." It would indeed be exciting to see Google rekindle its innovative spirit and bring more flexibility and power to ChromeOS."

microsoft teams ideas

on microsoft teams, can we get stickers and sticker packs?

can we get an account switcher on the web version of teams?

in the teams mobile app, the voice memo button, can we get an option to just tap it once to record instead of requiring the user to hold it down?

thank you.

xpost - LaCrOs on chromeOS - multiple chrome profiles -

"I have been using the LaCrOs version of Chrome for more than a year, and I was devastated when I read Robby’s post about Google shutting down the LaCrOs experiment in the near future. “Devastated” might seem like a bit of an overstatement, but let me explain.

Don’t take away my profiles!
The most valuable feature of LaCrOs was the ability to create multiple Chrome profiles. To those of you who use a Mac or PC as your primary device, [chrome profiles have always been available.]"

For some reason, chrome profiles were not available on chromeOS until the lacros flag was made available in 2022. this greatly increases the utility of chromebook by allowing users to seamlessly switch between chrome profiles as can be done on windows and mac.

draft - chatgpt can we get an account switcher on the UI? it keeps logging into the wrong account so i have to visit the outlook website to use the account switcher there which feels odd to goto a different website to use the account switcher because chatgpt doesn't have one

draft - reddit, thank you for your online platform. could we get an option to have an account switcher for the website / web app? I understand the account switcher is present in the mobile app, but it would be extra nice if we were *also* given the account switcher for the desktop website. thank you.

draft - why don't *all* microsoft web services have an *easy* account switcher? you have to always sign out and sign back in. i think maybe outlook has an account switcher, but all the other microsoft properties seem to lack an easy account switcher online, and it's quite annoying. anyone else?

xpost - draft - Telegram, GoogleChat, Microsoft Teams, Google Docs. These are four internet things that I kinda wish would replace [yaknow] in a way. Like I wish it could be normalized to say "hey can I add you on...[any of those four things] instead of [yaknow]

Update. As I think about it, maybe it'd have to be Google chat, because, the account switcher for Google services is so easy to use, which is why I made an Alt account specifically to try and have it set up so I could say to someone like a co-worker something to the effect of "hey could I send you an email" or something to like that from the account I made for that.

I thought Microsoft teams was gonna be the new thing, however, although the account switcher in the android app is there, the account switcher on other platforms is less straightforward

And then there's discord.

Discord is close. It has the account switcher for desktop but no account switcher for Android/iOS

@ivory
Displaying full names in the #AccountSwitcher works well for me, as I made them unique. 😊

_The “boost from” & “favorite from” menus_ however, display only the *user names* which are sometimes identical, so I often make mistakes (despite trying to pick the right one). 🙈
