RIP Skype

[Bunnei Bealla]

Microsoft is shutting down Skype this May after 20 years of service opting to effectively replace it with Microsoft Teams
I haven't used Skype in a long time but I'm sure it has alot of memories for others especially among older generations
it lasted long but it just got overtaken by other apps, the neverending circle of life
R.I.P buddy uwu

but i cannot say i am sad to see it go. so many better alternatives came about in the following years. but still, memories.

RIP, you'll be remembered for that terrible horror movie duology that gave me and my friends so much laughter and quotes we reference every now and then.

FYI, rumor has it that the "much revered" Discord will be IPO'ing this year. So yea.. I'll take "Enshitification" for $4 billion please, Alex.

Personally, I've been looking forward to this for a while. I mean, how many times does a 'free' app have to go thru this process before everyone sees this kinda stuff *before* it happens? Again. And again. And again.

Skype was crap anyway.

Now if only they'd kill discord and any other service like it that requires a irl phone number

I always found it funny how Microsoft acquired Skype and then it subsequently died in very short order.
Amazing how they have OS dominance yet they are completely inept at making a software ecosystem. Goes to show how untalented the current M$ is.
