Also
xdotool mousemove $(echo $(( ${RANDOM} % 800 ))) $(echo $(( ${RANDOM} % 600 )))

I don’t like having the mouse actually wiggle for teams to stay active. Makes it really annoying to jump back in when you get an impromptu call and have to fiddle with things to get the wiggler back off.
There’s a program called caffeine that instead simulates a button like F15 (so one that’s unlikely to show up on a real keyboard or be mapped to do anything) being pressed once a minute, so you can just set the program to run and it will never interfere with you actually using the computer.ITGuyLevi@programming.dev 12 hours ago
I’m a fan of scroll lock, not too useful but powershell is more than happy to turn it on and then back off 200ms later at random intervals… All while showing me a countdown to quitting time and a day counter until I’m out the door.

Yes, Caffeine is staple, I’ve been using it for decades (under windows too)!
vatlark@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
Yeah caffeine has been around a long time. I’m sure these simple solutions won’t last much longer. They will us AI to monitor the actions are meaningful so people will use AI to make the actions look meaningful and so on…

If you understandably don’t want to tamper with scripts or installations on your work computer, pull up your own chat, as if you were going to send yourself a message, then select the text box, then put something heavy on your down arrow key. Congrats, you’re now indefinitely free.

Nice, whatcha packing in that box?

You’re never free if you play MtG…

I stand by the belief that management that needs this level of surveillance software needs to be in trouble as well. Management should have reasonable expectations and expect you to achieve them in a reasonable amount of time.

For me teams fails to track activity outside the chromium window because I haven’t enabled the permission for the web app to see activity outside teams…
This causes me to go “away” when I’m not actively using teams, but honestly don’t care enough. People still write to me and I answer when I got time

I don’t want to install it, so when I accidentally close it, it’s just silence for me. Really started to embrace the focus time I get from that.

I am so happy I decided to change careers and left corporate hell to start my own business. I never have to make sure my mouse moves ever again.

What’s your plan to make it sustainable?
ickplant@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
So far it’s done well for the past 5 years, but it is harder now to find clients because the economy sucks and everyone is struggling (I’m a psychotherapist in the US). I have to plan for periods of drought, and make sure I keep up with marketing and networking.
Honestly, in my field, once you get a good reputation, you will be OK. It’s hard starting out, and I got lucky because I started out during COVID. Tons of demand back then, and some of those clients are still with me. Now I get referrals from clients and fellow therapists because I am established.

But cousin, why a spoon? Why not an axe or a knife?

Because it hurts more

This isnt even a comparison. Obviously spoony boy would win.

Oh my god, I love spooning my team!

Context?

Apparently a spoon left on your laptop trackpad can trick Teams into thinking you’re still there and never marking you as “away”.
Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 hours ago
Lol, I got one of those cheap mouse wigglers (mini usb plug, shows up as a Bluetooth mouse), I’d actually pay good money for one that only wiggles every now and then and not twice a second.
stoy@lemmy.zip 13 hours ago
Ah, I just tend to put my mouse upside down as the LED lighting in my room cause the mouse to move erratically.
CentipedeFarrier@piefed.social 10 hours ago
So can something heavy that depresses one of the directional keys.
Or at least that used to work, been a few years since I tried it.

Thanks for educating all the fork pilled people out there

How does that relate to Teams?
Sendaris@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
I assume you rest/wedge a spoon on your keyboard to hold down a key so Teams won’t mark you as away?
