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)

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.

On one hand, having been forced to use Skype, Iโ€™m happy to see it gone. On the other hand, they somehow made it worse and called it Teams.

Is Microsoft planning to release a viable replacement at some point?

[โ€“] 0x01@lemmy.ml 28 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Teams is their replacement, viable or not

[โ€“] superkret@feddit.org 35 points 1 week ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

Teams helps cooperation by uniting everyone in their shared hatred for Teams.

Huh?
I thought Skype was still a widely used thing.

[โ€“] Eldritch@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

Well; not any more. That's for sure.

[โ€“] Chozo@fedia.io 9 points 1 week ago
