Is Slack any good? I have heard of it, but don't know if it is any good.

For my use, it has the edge on both Teams & SfB.
It has teams (aka Channels) which SfB doesn't.
It has pop-out windows which Teams doesn't (though they're working on adding it to Teams).
It has video & audio calls.
It has adding contacts outside your organisation.
It has conferencing & desktop sharing.
and all the normal messaging stuff.
The only thing I use in SfB that Slack doesn't have is the voice calling to landlines.
Give it a try...

In every other part of the world aside from Merka that don't rhyme. There is no cow sound in Moscow. Listen to Russia's 1980 Olympic song, tells you how to pronounce their capital city.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I've given them a couple of tries now, thinking I might get used to it eventually. That hasn't happened yet.
It takes a long time before my eyes "snap in" and stop seeing two superimposed images, and then occasionally with a scene change, they snap right out again. Subtitles are just totally lost, not that I really need them anyway.. and if they do "the 3D gimmick" with suddenly putting an object right in front of the viewer, well that really doesn't work for me.
How is that going for you people? Am I just doing it wrong?

No problems for me. Try not to think about it so much. Just look.

Works pretty much for all films IMO.

That sounds superficially reasonable, but when it looks like two superimposed images I can't not think about that. It's wrong and extremely distracting.

Remember these[^]? I never see anything in them. no matter how hard I try. It only works for me when I unintentionally look at it. The same for the direction of a rotating wireframe cube on a flat screen.
Don't try to tell the image processor between your ears how to do its work.

I prefer to go to an authorized cinema, with better equipments to enjoy the movie and not just watch the movie. To enjoy the 3D, also select the movie that demonstrates the 3D. Regular drama is not the way to go.
I am going Lahore this week, to watch Justice League in 3D in IMAX 3D. I tried different cinemas and personally it is the quality and encoding of the presenter that might piss you off, I watched Thor: Ragnarok at a non-IMAX and it was a pain most of the times.
Also, I am not sponsoring IMAX. Just making a point, that 3D can be really amazing if your cinema is good and the movie itself also has some 3D elements. If you try watching a normal movie in 3D, you will not enjoy it. But movies with extensive animations and composition can really make you feel the movie; Doctor Strange was one of such.
Avengers: Infinity Wars would be the next for me.
Edit:
Oh and I missed a point, you can also consider the VR Box, that has a good ability presenting you with the 3D movies entertainment. I have one of those at home and I love it. I use my own mobile to play the movie and the VR Box does the rest.

The way new movies have used 3D is much more organic than older films that used it as a gimmick. Now it is just a depth of field thing rather than "Woah! that Yo-yo came right at me!" or the spear from a spear gun flying at the viewer in Friday the 13th part 3D.

Mostly I get dizzy, so I avoid them -- I have a very strong optical prescription.
One I saw in IMAX 3D was ok, one I saw in a dedicated theatre was better.
But one in a normal theatre was awful.

Can't see them at all - I don't have stereoscopic vision - so I'm kind of glad that they're going out of fashion.
I love that scene in The Simpsons where Bart and Homer are sat in a cinema watching a 3D movie and Bart says something to the effect of "Wow! This is awesome! Why can't real life be in 3D, too?"
