#Skype keeps sending me Android notifications with the message "Dummy text". Someone at #Microsoft has been vibe coding again. 🙄

Makes me feel old thinking back when I got my first cell phone, we had to pay like 99 Finnish pennies to send an SMS and it was limited to 160 characters. It was somehow magical when Skype came to mobiles, especially its chat part which finally made text chatting free.

Thinking back, Skype used to be a thing. Everyone I knew was on it and it was finally the first time ever when I could chat with all my foreign friends when I was on the road. They also had a Linux client which worked pretty well, until some minor software company bought Skype out and magically the Linux version was starved out.

Was war eure Messenger-Journey? Welcher Messenger war bei euch mal 'ne Weile die Nummer 1?

Bei mir war es so:

#TelMe
#SMS
#ICQ
#IRC
#XMPP/#Jabber
#Telegram
#Signal

nie auf Platz 1, aber in Nutzung waren bei mir:
#MSN, #AIM, #Y!M, #Skype, #Threema, #WhatsApp, #Matrix, #Tox, #DeltaChat

An mehr aktiv benutzte kann ich mich nicht erinnern, wie war es bei euch? #Slack dabei? oder #Teams? Vielleicht #RocketChat?

@linkachus17 well, good luck finding an AIO solution, because then you gonna end up with different bloated SaaS like #MicrosoftTeams nee Microsoft #OfficeCommunicator & #Skype.

Seriously, I wished there was a good solution, but multiple smaller tools that just work in browser may be easier to migrate to.
- Also don't get put off by terminology: Zulip too has channels, but the subdivision into topics is designed to reduce clutter and allow for asynchronous communication based off topics, allowing for granular filtering for dialogues when different public chats are going on in the same room.

Plus Zulip does have self-register / invite-link support where one can also preset default permissions/group settings and thus prevent spammers from joining and spam all over the group.

Given the amount of #bots and 3rd party tools are necessary for #discord to be somewhat useable it may be worth giving it a shot.

Dire qu'il y a 20 ans, on pouvait discuter, écrire, parler ou dessiner en ligne en groupe ou en privé dans des interfaces hyper fancy, sur fond en mouvement si on voulait, avec des emojis animés personnalisables et partageables, en pouvant changer couleur et police d'écriture à l'envie en direct.
Et ça ne pesait même pas lourd, car c'était correctement optimisé.
Sans algo ni surveillance de masse.

Tout semble si sec maintenant. 🥲

確かにこんなに塗り替えられたのはちと不可解だ。名前もよかった
