Well, it looks like Trump's half-arsed attempts at diplomacy have blown up in his face. Massive respect to Zelensky for not "bowing to the king" like every other world leader, but the results could be catastrophic for his country. I think we can safely say that Ukraine is not getting any more US aid. Trump is only interested in resolving the Ukraine war because (a) he wants all of Ukraine's resources, and (b) he thinks this will get him a Nobel Peace Prize, something he is immensely jealous of Obama for having.
The day had already started on a downer with the news that Microsoft is shutting down Skype. Because I'm a dinosaur, Skype is my first choice for video calls. Of course there are alternatives - Zoom, Teams, Slack - but they all come with limitations (particularly when it comes to the length of free calls allowed). But I shall miss Skype simply because I like familiarity and don't care for change. Though I have noticed a distinct increase in the amount of spam on Skype recently, so perhaps it is for the best (or, more likely, Microsoft have already given up on Skype and are not doing as much to block the spammers).
