I loved Skype back in the day. Me and my wife would use Skype kasts and chat to people from all over the world. It was good with my screen reader all so. After the buyout it all went down hill. O yeah and teams is a fucking pile!


Skype went downhill for me after it was acquired by Microsoft with many paper-cuts like account management and constant re-designs.


Trumpy is blaming it on DEI!


From the recording I herd It sounded like all was going fine before the crash. https://archives.broadcastify.com/44114/20250129/20250129200...


This Is what OpenWrt is fore.


Just why I love OpenWrt. They even ask the people that use screen readers like me to test the web interface to make sure that all is working as it should.


I am sorry people from the US, but you lot are shure strange about your weapons! No other place in the hole world is like you.


I'm not so sure about that. A friend of mine from Pakistan said that in his region, you could buy a machine gun at an open-air bazaar. Also, in a lot of countries, the government has little control over firearms, as they have little control over anything.


I would disagree, tons of countries with large gun ownership. The basis for it in the US stems from our founding and it's codification as a right to bear arms. It's not one granted by the government, but one upheld by it.

Some could say that if it weren't for this mindset and approach, much of the world would be worse off. The backbone military for the world that affords much of the stability needed is the US military. The emphasis on national defense capabilities and the government and civilian levels are what make us unique. It's not for everyone, but in the same vein, there's not a lack of people requesting help or intervention either.


Blind from berth here. Would not want!

I am blind and blind is me. All though I am now 42 years old so learning to use a new set of eyes would be hard if not impossible.

Having to take a bunch of pills for the rest of your life to stop your body from casting your eyes out of your face is not for me!

This could be a grate thing for young kids that have had eye trauma or cancer.

Your brain does not learn to use your eyes until the age of about 7 anyway so that could help in the brain learning to use the new eyes.


That's a good point. Similarly, there is resistance against cochlear implants in the deaf community.

Side note: your writing is full of homophones (berth, grate, all though). While not a big deal, I would assume that modern NLP tools could fix that pretty reliably. Finally a solid use case for LLMs :)


Why not just give people the tools to flash them with OpenWrt?


Fuck paywalls


There should be other articles out there about this story


Yes mate. A test build of Firefox. I run it all the time. Just remove it and install Firefox.


question still remains - how did it get there? Never had any interest in the daily builds
