@parlertakes Nah, unless iys a Skype meeting. He’s in full self-pity mode. Pacing around in his sweats, stress eating Oreos , crying about impeachment to any aide or secret service agent foolish enough not to disguise themselves with a lampshade.

Why does Skype have such terrible window management? How difficult is it to remember the last window size and position?

Syed
(@elllipsis) reported
@scalarism Yes, they did. Terrible idea. Now Skype in idle takes up ~235 MB of memory and video calls chew up most of the CPU resources. Either way, that still doesn't give them the excuse for terrible window management. Just lazy programming.

@ccdreamsofkemet @Biancadonk91 @Readygov It would be like the government came in and shut down Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp, SMS, Telegram, Signal, Parler, Zoom, Skype, and more all at the same time so no one in the country could use their phone to communicate with anyone.

@UnluckyForSome9 NB! Skrill will never ask you for your account credentials via Skype or Social networks. Only enter your login details on the genuine Skrill site and mobile apps.

@katrinnahendrix Kafkian nightmare. (Sometimes Canada Post outlets in pharmacies have fax service... that or maybe finding an app with a free trial? Skype used to be able to fax... for scanning I like the Office Lens app)

(@dashlane) reported
You know how sometimes you have a login for different websites, but they’re part of the same company? Say, for example, Skype, Outlook, and Xbox for Microsoft. Previously, Dashlane would save all these accounts individually, which could be frustrating for our users.

@StefanWaterland @FinanceDirCFO That's Microsoft's problem of work life vs private life perception. A lot of people want to share photos with their family. They don't send them one by one, they share the screen and click through entire folders. No one drops photos one by one in the convo window. Sorry Skype!

(@AndyBeard) reported
@theSamParr The worst thing I have found with communities is losing memories and contributions you have made or previous conversations. Slack for that is terrible, Facebook honestly isn't great at finding it either. Skype used to be ok, but then I lost access to 8-year-old conversations.

(@runthefnumbers) reported
@acryptolion Yep, that's the 1 thing in common among a lot of guys I know doing bigger volumes, no social media - and never even had one. Mostly just DMs in Telegram/Skype but then not super active. After a certain level everyone who can help you is a competitor who never will.

@Letxuga007 @norapeterson_1 @anjuan I know, right! I told my previous boss about my anxiety problem and he would hit me up on Skype with "Tony, I need a minute of your time to ask you to prioritise something" or similar. He also told me that he would always leave (rare) negative stuff to our one on ones.

@StateStSports We did some Skype calls at work just before the pandemic and the quality and connection were awful. If more than a couple people were on, video and sound would keep breaking up. By contrast, we've had 200 people on Zoom calls with no problems.

@nyactor I am not certain how i feel about them shutting down parler. It was a good way to keep track of plans, possible threats, etc. now they will be going undercover using private messages, skype and other chat or meeting services. Should have kept parler and infiltrated... see next

@OspreyPacks awful service! I am a nurse working in London and my parents bought me an Osprey bag for Christmas, I have just opened my presents over Skype and the bag is too small so I’d like to exchange it. But you’re saying no. What kind of thank you is this to the @NHSuk!

Hi @SkypeSupport for past few months every incoming/outgoing call drops home internet connection not just on skype device but whole internet network where other devices are impacted. This doesn't happen w/ MS Teams. Support can't figure out. Very annoying. Help!

@andybudd It’s a Skype replacement for online gamers. I use it with friends for multiplayer Starcraft 2 games. It’s lower latency and bandwidth requirements mean games like that don’t get slowed down by all the babble.
