Can I guess that the American amoral capitalist company won’t have transferred my Skype credit?
I had like $9.22 remaining credit from some international calls back in 2002 I was going to use…eventually.
great, now do teams.
nobody should have to use that ugly useless piece of shit for anything.
My company decided we don’t need phones and makes us use Teams for calls. Every day I think about murdering the person who made that decision.
Same here. I made my bed with it though.
I have a “work phone”. it sits at my desk. I’ll answer it when I’m there, otherwise I don’t get called.
I can’t (pronounced won’t) install any work shit on my personal phone because I run e/os and it isn’t compatible with their policies. 🤷 oopsies.
fuck em. I’ve been giving them 4 hours a day for months now, after giving them over a decade of 15-18 hour days.
My company used to have Slack and forced this abomination upon us. At least now I can plausibly pretend not to have seen people’s messages.
MSN messenger died for Skype
Skype died for Teams
We’re not on a great trajectory here
(Yes Lync too, but everyone was pleased about that)
Teams died for Teams (New)
And MSN was so much better.
Can imagine your boss nudging you? Lol
Teams dying doesn’t sound too bad either. Just hoping the next iteration isn’t even worse
Given M$'s track record, it definitely will be worse…
Next iteration will be MSN Messenger
Did it die, though? Last time I had to use windows for work (shudder) the Teams app process name was lync.exe. Or was it Skype?
Either way, shit’s still around.
Teams will die for Copilot somehow.
Teams
New Teams
Teams (New)
Teams with Copilot
Copilot Teams
You forgot all the Bing Chats in between.
You missed Teams 365
They can all coexist in your desktop, just like outlook
What most people don’t know about the ouroboros is that every time the creature eats itself it becomes a little bit closer to being a turd (a consequence of its peculiar metabolism) so even though from an inside perspective the system appears to be in a complex mysterious cyclic kind of stasis, from the outside it is just more and more obviously a turd in the shape of a donut.
Is this real lore or is this meme
I am not sure I remember anymore, I have eaten my tail one too many times.
I don’t think this is a direct meaning of the metaphor, though any metaphor of endlessly repeating cycles can be placed in a rhetorical framework where it represents enshittification so I am sure I am not the first person to add or tweak the metaphor with that context.
Truthfully I loved Skype until Microsoft bought it.

Skype you later!
I find it funny Microsoft gave me a survey on my work PC asking about how I’m enjoying its products (I laughed in Linux, “how do you like windows customizablity” let me go off about KDE lol)
But back to the subject. Literally everything they work on seems to turn to shit — I wonder what kind of survey feedback are they usually getting? “Oh, Skypes cool but I really like Teams”
Literally everything they work on seems to turn to shit
Not the MS Office though.

I fell out of contact with a lot of people when they shuttered MSN messenger for Skype, so not sad to see it go.
MSN Messenger was brilliant. At the time I used it, everyone I knew used it. It was the go-to for communication.
Not really. It’s just called “Teams” now.
I want to put Skype’s corpse on a banner and wave it around to all the software that’s currently undergoing enshittification.
Wait, Skype was still around? I thought it shutdown a few years back
Mandela effect in full bloom
Scream test.
Who?
I actually had a Skype phone back in the days
and when are the estonian nationalist gonna luigi em?
