    Immigration Canada: “Prove to us that your marriage is genuine. Prove that it wasn’t for immigration purposes.”

    My wife and I: “You sure you want that?”

    Immigration Canada: “Make with the proof.”

    My wife and I: 400 pages, front and back, of Skype call logs/timestamps. A fucking literal ream of paper

      Would seem almost intentional given the size and success of the company. How do you fuck something like that up so badly? Seems like one of those Embrace, Extend, Extinguish deals or similar

        Skype was always shit. It was being first to market that made it popular. It was one of the first ways to get cheaper and free informational calling. By the time MS purchased it vent and ts became popular as well as zoom and others entering the space.

      Word on the street is that MS couldn’t harvest the data they wanted out of Skype, even after turning off the encryption. So they let the Skype team keep on going because of reasons, while silently replacing them with teams.
