🪦 Skype is soon going to be no more: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2025/02/28/the-next-chapter-moving-from-skype-to-microsoft-teams/. For a proprietary app, it has done its job and lived a long 21-year life. Do you remember when MSN Messenger was replaced by Skype?

Meanwhile, some of my favourite IRC and XMPP-based IM tools from the '90s are still going strong in OSS land. Some can even handle 4K video calls without a hitch nowadays... unlike Microsoft Teams. Go figure. 🤷‍♂️
