@microsoftnl The problem is that I use Skype a few times a year. Today the account was switched to my hotmail-account (why?). And Teams just freezes when starting up so kept people on the other side of the world waiting for half an hour. #frustrating - leave my settings alone

@lehtimaeki @ASalvadorini web will always be a poor solution. Terrible text input, 0 integrations with the host OS (only in dreams of Chief Chrome Advocate). i prefer desktop versions: slack, teams, telegram, viber, skype, discord in reality they are web apps (and it feels lol)

@StitchIsMyPatro @alexandraknew @0xKruzr -- even decades later. Like the backdoor in Skype that they opened on purpose and refused to fix for years that allowed outside attackers to find your IP and DDOS you to oblivion. There used to be a way for users to close that backdoor themselves, but instead of closing it, --

If you can't make it physically to conference (due to pandemic, budget, and travel issues), DCC session organizers themselves will be attempting to provide special arrangements (in the name of inclusivity) to include people via zoom or skype.

@dannykjacksonjr @HENRYJEDIMASTER @KevinFalk7 He also was agressively coming after me (and I made my first ever final 2 deal with him like 4 minutes before). Kevin had a tweet of the Skype convo of him trying to vote me out that was pinned until recently (I get why it was taken down like part of my bio)

@jordanbpeterson Jordan, I can tell you miss your practice and I wonder would doing such things over video call be a thing you’d like to do? Perhaps even just the Skype calls with supporters you used to do on patreon would help these days as you recover fully soon

@JustinSalhani @joinClubhouse Yes for sure but these things the app might come under enough pressure to fix and then the UAE govt would shut out of it just like WhatsApp and Skype call which are banned there. UAE is very proactive when it comes to marinating authoritarian rule Mashallah ...

My biggest pet peeves about my job is the people that will send me IMs over skype back and forth for like twenty minutes instead of call me and take 5 minutes to solve the issues...

@matnashed @joinClubhouse Which actually fits with the fact that they still have full access to people’s data. I see it shut down as soon as it’s privacy situation is sorted out and the excuse would be that it can be used as online phone service in a similar way to Skype and WhatsApp ...
