@scalzi Quelle surprise. One wonders wtf is up at Microsoft thinking that all their customers will just upgrade to this crap.

That said, the fed'l agency I work is all in on MS products, so I am looking for every avenue to disable this st*ff when it shows up in the various apps. (Cough, Outlook. Ugh.)

@inthehands I suffered some dermatology problems during the height of Covid that required attention. Many appointments ensued over the following 2 years. It was such a shock to see my derm doctor's face when the practice decided that masks were optional.
