I know someone working there. I was in a few group calls he organised using teams where I used an anonymous login. Then Microsoft forced you to make an account to use it, so I declined after that.

Skype used to be peer to peer. Your call went from you to your friend (whomever). Microsoft decided that they couldn't mitm that setup to scrape data; so, soon after they acquired Skype, they made all calls go through their servers.

Then they tried to make Skype make more money, since those servers aren't free. Then they made teams and copied half the code into that, and cludged the rest to make it hold together.

I'm guessing you haven't tried to do it. I can spend twenty minutes trying to read something my father-in-law needs help with over video chat. From his "and how do I turn the back camera on?", to my "no back a bit and left. The other left", and the classic "you turned off your video, let me call you back" because it's faster than guiding him on how to turn it on while he swears that he didn't press anything.

Something I haven't seen discussed is that Kamala is a woman. There are a lot of misogynistic voters who will refuse to vote for a woman.

He could postpone the election if America is at war.

We don't want him back now. You've ruined him.

The scary newsreader blue bird should do it. Or Dave Grohl with Animal.

Just like my local dive...

Companies are made up of people. Companies save money by firing the most expensive people, the most experienced. The ones left have a lot less experience.

It's weird that there's a person that you can call a liar, rapist and con man and not be afraid of being sued for libel or slander, and lots of people think he'll be great at running a country.

Everyone I know has their contacts backed up to google or apple. Enter your account and password into your new phone and your contacts are there. Zero benefit.
