The end of Skype. (t.me)
 

Tech content creators and news sites have recently dug into an Insider build of Skype's files, to find a string of text which reads as follows:

"Starting in May 2025, Skype will no longer be available. By logging into Microsoft Teams with your Skype account, your chats and contacts will appear in the app so you can pick up where you left off. Alternatively, you can export your Skype data"

This message comes as no surprise to those who saw the writing on the walls before this, especially since people had already jumped over to other platforms, such as Zoom, Discord, and even Microsoft's own-brand Microsoft Teams.

I myself have fond memories of contacting friends and family with Skype, especially during the pandemic before I got Zoom.

Farewell, Skype. You will always live on in the hearts and minds of those that used it.

I need to vent about Windows. I want workplaces to use Linux. in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Windows fr thinks that getting updates done is more important than getting work done.

Microsoft employees removed from town hall for protesting AI contracts with Israeli military in c/technology@lemmy.ml

I don't blame them for protesting. Yeah, admittedly AI is cool n' all, but you don't need to encourage an entire military to get in on it.

Oppo Find X5 Pro battery life (lemmy.ml)
 

Is it just me, or does the Oppo Find X5 Pro have the worst battery in existence, even when it launched and was brand new? At most (during normal usage) it lasted me about 2:30hrs on average, but this number was sometimes more or less depending on what my phone felt like doing.

As well as this, I have to travel long lengths to shopping, and in most scenarios I'd leave my house with 100% and make it back with about 30-45%. I've even lost the ability to scan my train tickets through the barriers at some stations thanks to this.
