Are you confused in #Teams because sometimes Enter sends message but sometimes it does a line break

I just realised that when you're in "show formatting options" mode, it is the latter, otherwise the former.
To activate this mode, click on the little A+ pen icon at the bottom of the composing windows.Of course Teams could just always have Enter do a line break... But that would be too easy and intuitive! ugh

@elduvelle I’ll never understand why we have to use these abominations when there’s perfectly good, cheaper FOSS alternatives that won’t harvest your chats for LLM training

@locha Yep! Especially incredible when it's coming, in my case, from a UK university.. Relying on US tools for work seems really bad on multiple fronts
PS: surely Teams isn't harvesting our chats for its AI, I know Teams sucks but I don't think that would be legal, do you have a source for this?

@elduvelle LLM training: I can’t remember sources, unfortunately, but that’s pretty much an industry standard by now. Terms of service for just about everything have been updated just for that. There was a bit of a scandal with MS recently because they put had a keylogger in windows - I can’t remember if it was a public scandal or a thing within the public service. In any case, not sure if they admitted to it, but everyone understood that it was for training LLMs (and other explications actually sound a lot more nefarious)

@locha hmm, maybe this is the case in the US / Canada?
In Europe / UK we still have relatively good privacy laws (GDPR) and I don't think this is allowed unless the user explicitly opts-in.. I mean I would definitely have stopped using Teams if I learned that they were using my chats to train their LLM

@elduvelle Possibly. But in this episode of _Underscore (French tech channel): https://youtu.be/o-U9Wa4WvJI they talk about how fines are incommensurate with the financial repercussions for AI leaders. I'm not sure if they were talking about GDPR.
In any case, I think it would be very hard to enforce, wouldn't it?

@elduvelle I was just reading @pluralistic and he adds another difficulty in his last post: « The Irish state is thoroughly captured by the corporations that pretend to call Ireland home. Anything those corporations want, Ireland must deliver, lest the footloose companies up sticks and start pretending to be Cypriot, Luxembourgeois, Maltese or Dutch. This is why Europe's landmark privacy law, the GDPR, has had no effect on America's tech giants. They pretend to be Irish, and Ireland lets them get away with breaking European law. » https://pluralistic.net/2026/01/17/erin-lets-go/
