when tech co 'innovations' lose the plot

looked and I don't see anything about this here...any of y'all use skype and are massively annoyed by this new 'open chat in same tab' ish?

I find it so irksome, and it makes skype much less easier to use.

been handling it regarding clients (have accidentally closed skype more than once though) but this am was doing a vid call with my mom. I talk to her either there or on whatsapp but we both prefer skype for vid calls, and I use my cam account, she knows what I do online and no fucks given

so yeah...talking to her this am as she preps to visit me for a week stay next week, (I am insanely excited) and a client messages me. I see the little pop-up push notification in the corner

ok, cool, awesome, just one sec momsie

normally I'd just excuse myself for a moment to check it and carry on with my mom and let the dude know I'm available but need a few mins, via text reply in a new window

but now, going back to the main contact/chat list to view his full message ended the fucking call

how exactly is this an improvement and what are the skype people hoping to accomplish?

I have too many clients there to ditch the platform so I'm kinda stuck with it. just irritating as fuck

any y'all feel that sometimes co's make changes just to say "hey we're still totally cutting edge and on the ball"?

please

microsoft made me accidentally hang up on my mom. pox on their houses

anyone have a work-around for this crap?

peace and love and belated happy May Day
