ICQ will stop working on June 26. It's encouraging users to migrate to a messaging app from Russia-based VK, its parent company.

I stopped using ICQ in the very early 00s. I didn't know anything of it still remained.

How do you people remember your ICQ numbers? I don't remember what I did last week half the time.

I used mine in my mail signature for a while and I’ve kept all my emails since late 90s.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Fair. My current mail signature has a dead link in it and I can't be bothered to do anything about it.

What's with your pride in being complacent?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

What are you talking about?

[–] Orbituary@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

"I can't be bothered to update my signature" - you could fix it in half the time it takes to post here. It's just a weird... I'd say flex, but it's the opposite. It's like a sag or deflation.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I could, but I don't feel like it. Why do you care?

[–] Orbituary@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

For the same reasons you do not care.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

Well that can't be true. I don't care because I'm lazy and you're making an effort.
