    MSN messenger died for Skype

    Skype died for Teams

    We’re not on a great trajectory here

    (Yes Lync too, but everyone was pleased about that)

      What most people don’t know about the ouroboros is that every time the creature eats itself it becomes a little bit closer to being a turd (a consequence of its peculiar metabolism) so even though from an inside perspective the system appears to be in a complex mysterious cyclic kind of stasis, from the outside it is just more and more obviously a turd in the shape of a donut.

          I am not sure I remember anymore, I have eaten my tail one too many times.

          I don’t think this is a direct meaning of the metaphor, though any metaphor of endlessly repeating cycles can be placed in a rhetorical framework where it represents enshittification so I am sure I am not the first person to add or tweak the metaphor with that context.

        Next iteration will be “Copilot for Teams”.
        Whenever you get a message, Copilot will auto-send an answer unless you click “no” in a popup without window decorations, showing a timer.
        On Windows Pro, you can disable this with a registry key, but that resets with feature updates.
