Yeah, right before the pandemic it was becoming clear that Skype was in Keep The Lights On mode, and MS wanted to funnel all of those users into Teams. But Teams also sucked.

It’s a lot better than it used to be, but it still takes MS an ungodly amount of time to build basic features that have been in Slack / Zoom for a decade… and MS is one of the biggest companies in the world.

IMHO, the pandemic just allowed everyone to see how much better of an experience Zoom had over Skype.

I worked in an office where half of corporate used Skype, and the cooler sub-brands used Zoom. No one in the main corporate office was happy about using Skype. Microsoft had been neglecting it for quite some time.

I do see redditors bringing it up from time to time, but those who know about it and stayed usually complain about not understanding instances or not getting enough engagement with niche communities.

Here’s the thing about journals, they show their data and methods. If you disagree with the findings, go re run the study. That’s how science works.

Recession, tariffs, no due process, people with papers being deported, measles, no environmental or food protections, state sponsored religion, state control of school curriculum and staffing, the elimination of safety nets for poor and sick Americans, the president selling meme coins, the dismantling of independent journalism, increased government handouts to billionaires, etc.

Where does this rank on the list of multiple issues at once?

Edit: oh and how could I forget the entire first world economy pulling away from US bonds and allegiance, setting the US up for a massive debt crisis and depression.

They’re coming for Harvard because an elite school is an easy target for public opinion. They really want to oversee what is taught in all American universities.

Typeface nerd here.

This person is referring to “chop suey” fonts. Fonts that were created by westerners to convey “Asian,” and they have a history of being used along side anti-Asian propaganda in the 1800’s / early 1900’s.

What are you talking about? American businesses are famous for breaking out sales tax, regulatory fees, tips, and bullshit “service” fees to make their product appear cheaper than it is.

Example: DoorDash
