Om Malik: Skype, redesigned (again)

Microsoft is once again redesigning Skype — in order to make Skype great again.

Skype has gone through so many designs over the years, it gets more difficult to use every time, it’s like they’re trying to make it into a social network instead of a communication application. It’s really annoying!

Sadly, 3 people I know, have shared the post. 😩

Thinking about a way to bring all my photo posts together…

Has anyone come up with a good approach for collecting similar post types together on Micro.blog, for the purpose of creating an archive “page” or similar, for discovery of old posts?

Just had an ex-emplyee’s Dell laptop handed to me, “what do you want to do with this thing?”

It’s got a reasonable spec, is fairly lightweight, and has a good battery life. I think I might have a play and either install Ubuntu on it, or maybe even turn it into a Chromebook…

I really like Instagram, it’s my favourite social network, in fact it’s the only social network I’m still active on, but I also like the idea of removing my images from the “Facebook-owned” network and just using it as an app to like other peoples images, get inspiration, etc.
