Linux isn't a UNIX flavor. It's UNIX-like.

Microsoft could technically get Windows certified as UNIX.
I don't think they could now that the POSIX subsystem and Windows Services for UNIX are both gone. Don't you need at least some level of POSIX compliance (at least the parts where POSIX and Unix standards overlap) to get Unix certified?
I used to make calls through MSN Messenger and it was a much better experience than Skype. Skype always seemed lower quality.
AI makes it different because this is likely dynamically synthesized speech that sounds real. Previous TTS engines wouldn't have sounded real enough to be believable.
A phone company built this? Based.
Lenny isn't AI; it's just a collection of prerecorded messages.
On mobile you can use ReVanced.
and Skype was worse than MSN Messenger. I'm still upset they killed off the better product.
Even if it were for sale, it's designed to be decentralized so you couldn't buy the whole network, just like you can't buy all of Lemmy or Mastodon. That's the theory anyways - I don't think they've really executed on it yet.
Not 100% sure but I don't think anything would stop either a fork or a new app that uses the same protocol.
We've already seen bigger sites - like Threads, for instance - try to integrate into the overall ecosystem.
People complain that the mainstream sites are relatively closed ecosystems, but they also complain when those sites try to be more open ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The GUI is optional these days, and there's plenty of Windows servers that don't use it. The recommended administration approach these days is PowerShell remoting, often over SSH now that Windows has a native SSH server bundled (based on OpenSSH).
