@bbezanson Oh, I’m intimately familiar with that product. It’s like someone developed a chat app, by viewing screen shots of Slack, but never actually using it. Terrible Electron app on macOS and Windows. Limited by Exchange/Sharepoint/OneDrive/Skype for Business infrastructure.

@bt_uk Tried all sorts of fault finding. Replacement set was ordered, delivered this morning and is now working. Therefore not a BT problem but her equipment failure. Troubleshooting with a 90 year old via Skype was challenging...

Surprised Skype's login screen today doesn't say, "oh, so that tramp Slack is down and now you come running, huh?"

@PunsUnfunny Slack is a chat app, like Skype, that most of the tech industry uses. With everybody working remotely, Slack being down means that a LOT of work is slowing to a crawl.

@gc_arilin so many years they’ve had to fix things since MS stopped doing IE exclusive things the only thing we still have to use IE for at work now is the old skype for business server, because they made the web console use silverlight which no modern browser seems to support

@The_NinjaKnight @JDollaSignShow Lol. Supporting me? It’s my actual job, not some Skype YouTube channel. I was offering to help you not look terrible. You’ll never ever succeed with this “me against the world because I’m edgy” gimmick. It hasn’t worked for you so far.

I offer Online ********** & Skype sessions to those I enjoy interacting with. It's a "one strike and you are out service". If you abuse it or behave poorly or inappropriately, I won't engage with you again. My personal joy is too valuable to me to put up with your bad behavior.

Hollow gets mad when I skype call him late and ask him to write down the things I tell him, but that’s why he’s a producer and not a content creator, some people just don’t get “process”

To 3rd Year Students: I did my dissertation when the unis first shut and there was even less organisation than there was now - I got marked down for ‘limited materials’ bc the library was shut. We also only had a 3 day extension and the most limited Skype feedback. Good luck.

You all laughed when I said we used Skype at work. But with Slack down, who's laughing now? Still you. Skype sucks.

@sirultimos Honestly, I like Skype more than most of its newer alternatives for simple communication. It might be a bit bloaty, but it also does a much better job of being simple. That said, it's pretty terrible for copy-and-pasting code...

@DebraDipstick @bobscartoons To talk and listen and find out. I have zero medical training, but having experienced people who never, ever wanted to ask, what's hurting you? I could only try to help him. You would need to find out about me 1st. In the long term, Skype each other, your son and myself?? I'm 70.

@SkypeSupport @Skype What is wrong with you? Do you think I have nothing else to do as to play a verification game for a skype account that fails every time? You got my email and I provided the code. The game is not working for me. What now?

Slack/Teams/Skype being down is a first world problem, but #1 pain in the ***. You don’t know how good you have it until it’s down

@HeresKellie Then he remembers Microsoft Teams is still not as great even with a Slack outage and Skype for Business is the equivalent to Myspace now.
