The Bucks look like Jason Kidd is coaching them again. Mental errors, standing still on offense, turning their back on D and make Fred Van Vleet and Skype Lowry look like hall of gamers.

22. Discord hands down. Skype isn’t easy to use and you can’t have multiple channels on a server or anything. Discoed is so much more useful. 23. Yes.

Every single time money is tight my mind always jumps to when a married gay man slid in my DM’s and said he’d pay me to flex in my underwear on Skype and I turned it down... Could’ve been easy money smh

Shout-out to Google Voice for consistently getting stable calls through while I am traveling on spotty WiFi and 2G cell service. WhatsApp and Skype often fail buy Google Voice is a champ.

@RopeyLibrarian I would love your help! There's a list I just wrote to @The_Button_ of the early on stuff that I could use help with. Let me know if any of that appeals & maybe we can all meet / Skype / Slack / Wire at some point to talk through it.

@KayFKeane One lady was bought a tablet by her granddaughter. (Not the pharmaceutical kind!) and she was helped to use it. we don’t see her in the surgery any more because she can skype her family in Australia. The issue was that she was isolated and lonely. #communitywellbeing

He gave me an opportunity to take a chance and turn my life upside down. Scared out of my mind I decided to trust this guy who I’d only talked to on Skype 3 times. Coach constantly pushed me and believed in me more than I did most of the time.

@Vodacom You must the most useless 4G service provider in SA. One can't even work from home because of your pathetic service ( in Sandton of all places one can't connect to Skype for business).

I think the problem with tech is that most teachers don’t get to make the tech decision ... I thought Skype was a great tool to communicate around the world ... my district decided to block it #edtechchat

Also, having the external examiner comment via Skype and (of course) have technical issues with the connection is not something I’d like to happen at my defense 🤯

@SkypeSupport Hi! I set up my account about 12 years ago so it has really old email addresses. That’s part of the problem and why I couldn’t recover. So I went through the massive recovery process form which is hard when you don’t have access to your account, and filled it in as best I could.

@TheRiver It’s free, and with a Microsoft account you get basic one drive access and that’s the vehicle they use for storage, sync and collaboration. As it’s integrated with teams, sharepoint, windows10, Skype for business etc by default. I don’t represent MS, office365 is a paid service

@peterskillman Precisely. People learn the Skype user experience. My Snapchat on Android feels similar to iOS. Fix only those parts that would confuse platform users. Back iOS apps on a Mac, I don't see the reason why it couldn't be made to work given proper thought and consideration.

Last night I laughed so much at my own pun while on Skype to Jake that he put his phone in the corner of the room face down while I laughed uncontrollably for at least five minutes. Apparently I was “in the naughty corner”. This only made me laugh even more.

Today, EU courts should decide whether SkypeOut is to be considered an electronic comms service or not. Might force Skype under Telecom law(s). I wonder what the impact could be on other services like #MicrosoftTeams etc., if they do... #thoughtoftheday
