📞💔 To our great regret, following in the footsteps of Russia’s VK Group and its quiet farewell to ICQ, Microsoft has now officially shut down Skype — a true legend of the 2000s internet era. What once defined how we connected, called, and chatted across the globe has been silenced… not by users, but by boardroom decisions.

💻 Skype wasn't just software — it was a cultural milestone. It brought faces to voices, bridged continents in seconds, and made "Skyping" a verb in dozens of languages. Its shutdown is not just sad — it's irreplaceable. Another digital monument lost to corporate fatigue.

📉 This only proves one thing: well-paid marketers and project managers have repeatedly failed to breathe new life into legacy platforms. Instead of adapting tradition to modern times, they let icons wither. And for what? Another feature-bloated app with no soul?

🌐 But we haven’t lost hope. If Winamp can rise from the ashes, why not Skype? Why not AIM? Why not ICQ? Maybe, just maybe, it won’t be Microsoft or VK who lead the resurrection — maybe it’ll be an indie developer or a bold startup that understands nostalgia can be modern.

👀 Paging Yahoo Inc. and AOL… We’re waiting.

This picture contains 4 GB of data.

Back in the 1930s computers were gaint machines, they worked on "punch card programing" and was mainly used to solve complex math problems, it wouldn't be until the 1950s that the one of the first "hard drive"s were invented by ERA, then called the "mag drum drive", IBM than brought ERA and refined the technology further.

This picture represents 4GB of data stored in punch card format, each row is 15 pallets long, stacked 2 pallets high, 45 boxes to a pallet, 2000 punch cards to a box, each card held 80 characters making this picture represent 4.3 billion characters of data.

Oh how far we've come in 93 years..

I was talking to a coworker about how much I hate the new Spotify update openly trying to make desktop more like mobile and said I found it stupid because the reason I use desktop and not mobile is because I like the differences of desktop. Their response was, "What do you have against mobile???" Like preferring the numerous features desktop has that mobile doesn't must be because of some kind of anti-progress luddite grudge. I hate phone app culture, genuinely.

Interview: Gosling on Java

I found this interview fascinating. I flatter myself by imagining I have a lot in common with Gosling. Kudos to Darryl K Taft and The New Stack!

Room temp Transistor?

Where have I heard that before?‘It was room temp semiconductors.’Well, it’s a dream, of the Nuclear Activist’s, so don’t believe it…‘Don’t worry the Nuclear Power Plant, in your back yard, will be built to grant you cheap constant power.’ We still need more power for today. The room temp Microchips won’t be available to the public for 5 years.‘Didn’t you hear the new chips can be manufactured in…

IBM Cybersecurity Basics: Free, Online, and Self-Paced

I wish I had a course like this 20 years ago. I could have prevented being a cyber-victim.  I grew up in an era without computers, even without electricity or TV. My entertainment came from the radio and books. It wasn’t until my postgraduate years that I encountered computers, thanks to studying at a university with mainframe systems.  Fast forward to 1980, I got my hands on an XT PC, which…

Wings and rockets – 360 degrees of action

Pixel art for today based videogame After Burner Complete for game console Sega Megadrive 32X. Excellent arcade shooter. Dynamical. And with rather unusual perspective view. Everything is in action.

And this is my drawing about the same theme. So, I have a dream for a long time to make such a dynamic arcade game. Now it is only a drawing.

Flight fast start from a ship in any point of the world. And someway it makes a big impression. Today it is snow and Antarctica. And tomorrow sand, forest. Such a freedom of action and movement. Everything is in rotating and at a big speed. It is impressive action. Free in air and fast actions. It gives most different game levels. And of course, levels about a sea itself. Sea can be with different colors too.

Fast start flight and fly. With lots of rockets. Ina free flight. Lots of enemy objects around. It is arcade. So, it is arcade fun.

Dima Link is making retro videogames, apps, a little of music, write stories, and some retro more.
