    Can I guess that the American amoral capitalist company won’t have transferred my Skype credit?

      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)

      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.

      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.

          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.

    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”
