Skype was good?

Skype was far from good, but it was the first for me, and I have some nostalgia for it.

Kinda like Zoom during covid.

People seeing Skype through rose tinted glasses now that it's dead

Fuck I sat there for a good 30 seconds trying to figure out who Sky PE was...
It wasn't particularly good but when it came out it was the coolest game in town. They just failed to keep up with everything that came after it, and nearly burned it down trying to.

Uh-oh!

And here I am today, still using IRC.
I also occasionally refer to slack as IRC. And then some of the nerdier colleagues snicker.

Man I had a pang of nostalgia and guilt. Google reader was pretty good, and I forgot it existed.

Never forget Google Reader.

Haven't used Skype for years to talk to friends or family, but kept using it until now when I needed to call some place in my home country (usually banks) by "real" phone call, because support via internet either sucks or doesn't exist at all. Now looking for alternatives...

Skype? Good?

A long time ago, it was actually the best
When Skype was new it had FREE calling to land lines. My friends and I would make so many fun calls. So many fun times. Then Microsoft bought it and killed the free calling.
Before the dark times... Before the empire
