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 so 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.
By “coexist” we mean being installed side by side with barely distinguishable icons, and when you try to log into the wrong one with the wrong type of Microsoft account (where the login mask looks exactly the same), it throws a helpful error message saying “this account does not exist”.
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.
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)

Is this real lore or is this meme

Teams died for Teams (New)
And MSN was so much better.
Can imagine your boss nudging you? Lol
I don’t want to.
Did it die, though? Last time I had to use windows for work (shudder) the Teams app process name was lync.exe. Or was it Skype?
Either way, shit’s still around.
Teams will die for Copilot somehow.
You forgot all the Bing Chats in between.
You missed Teams 365
365 will be dead soon enough. Long Live Office Copilot
They can all coexist in your desktop, just like outlook

Teams dying doesn’t sound too bad either. Just hoping the next iteration isn’t even worse

You know, if copilot also joins morning meetings for you while you sleep, that’s a deal I’m willing to make
How long until it degenerates to a bunch of Copilots exchanging gibberish, and people forgetting there was ever a real meeting? :D
Given M$'s track record, it definitely will be worse…
Next iteration will be MSN Messenger
