Whatsapp drives me crazy with this too. You can only mute for 8 hours, 1 week, or forever. No other options. Just let me choose how long to mute for, a billion dollar corporation could surely afford that. And a single 'custom' button wouldn't ruin the 'clean UI' or whatever they're trying to maintain.
This problem is an annoyance. The slowness of Teams, however, is unforgivable. There's no excuse why a chat app from 2022 should run slower on an 8 core Xeon with 64GB of RAM than MSN Messenger did on my Pentium box in 2000.
- anthk 4y agoBy just 4X the RAM and an AMD Athlon XP you could do inline LaTex, embedded video and images and a lot more under KDE3 and Kopete as the IM client (KDE3's "gaim/pidgin"). Now 1GB is not enough, not even with 2GB, that's borderline usable with XFCE4 and Alpine Linux and ZRAM (my Celeron notebook setup). You can browse stuff fine with UBo and Chromium with privacy and performance tweaks (git://bitreich.org/privacy-haters), but if you launch heavy stuff (Glibc gcompat stuff such as Teams) will keeping a bunch of tabs open, the speed grinds down a lot.
