    Friday tech tip: if you have Zoom connection issues, try switching to Skype. No one is using it anymore, so their servers are not clogged like Zoom or even Teams.

    @DavidCook1959 @biologistimo Sane with mine. I once thought it a good idea to give my Hexe to a neighbour while on a skype interview. When I brought her back down three flights of stairs, unmoving, I only said “your heart? ja, mein, too.” her heart was racing so hard 😳 since then im just borrowing her keyb.

    @jmstudiosmac @roto_tudor @lyzl I was living abroad at that time and had to watch the funeral over Skype. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. My grandpa’s own brother couldn’t travel from Calif due to restrictions, and his sister almost couldn’t come from Chicago (to Indiana) b/c they started shutting down roads

  • SuzOSullivan Suzan Islam - O'Sullivan (@SuzOSullivan) reported

    Oh no Directors meeting has had to be postponed until Monday due to technical issues with Skype not allowing 1 of our directors (who lives in Devon) and our project manager to join us. It only allows one but not the other person so we are having to Zoom it on Monday instead!

  • jvmediadesign Sherry Holub - Wizard of Design (@jvmediadesign) reported

    Skype message of the day from my 79yo mom who lives down the street from me. Have to do this one in 3 parts so you get the whole story: "kitty & I were standing by the bottom of the front steps watching your dad drive up with the cart. 5 minutes later kitty comes by with a mouse.

  • sasshole The Blowhole Innocence Project (@sasshole) reported

    (I only visited because I had a Skype doctor’s appointment and Internet was down—I kept my distance etc)

  • KristiansBrain The One Bearded Man (@KristiansBrain) reported

    Also the decision to make it deliberately low res and occasionally glitching/freezing so it’s as frustrating to watch as an actual Skype call was a really terrible decision. Thematic maybe but should have been tested and abandoned at the earliest opportunity.

  • FellHound_ Fell Hound @Commander Rao 💀💣 (@FellHound_) reported

    @carolcollector Thats fair :( Can they zoom or skype? Its hard but these are extraordinary circumstances. Plus I guess you can always see them when this dies down hopefully earlier than next xmas?

  • ZANTOSA1 ZANTOSA (@ZANTOSA1) reported

    I want to make a sub perform on skype and make them shove their fingers down their throat and suck them til they pull them out and have a big long thread of drool while I screenshare and overload their brain with porn.

  • dougom Douglas Moran (@dougom) reported

    @elysdir In a @nealstephenson mood I’ve wondered when Zoom or Skype or WebEx is going to offer masking software to disguise people’s appearance, voice, etc to help enforce more egalitarian behavior for things like job interviews.

  • Content_Mrktr Hsuan-min Chou (@Content_Mrktr) reported

    Here's a tip I thought I'd never have to make: When you send a laptop to a contractor be sure the mic/camera are NOT locked down (Hello? Skype, Teams, Zoom, Hangouts). Upsets your manager and (unfortunately) cld make her cancel your contract. #is2002overyet

  • dd9000 ddouglas (@dd9000) reported

    @MibachKTVU Your Skype room is only a tad above hostage level. Please review @ratemyskyperoom for advice. Or ask @PCooknewsKTVU for help.

    2/? -on roblox which is totally crazy to me because our friendship lasted so long for some two 11 year olds who met on roblox but anyways we got each others skype and we would skype call each other every night and i remember getting in trouble for staying up late talking to her-

  • RagoneAugust August Ragone (@RagoneAugust) reported

    @DerCryptaxis We weren't able to shoot one of BRAVE due to the covid shut down in California back in March. We were hoping that there would be a break in April, but as we know, that didn't happen. We considered doing it via Zoom or Skype, but the quality would be awful, so we just gave up.

  • Arthurmbaka Mtu wa Ajabu (@Arthurmbaka) reported

    @JKNjenga 1. Network issues 2. Power issues 3. Delegates who mute & go to other business 4. Platform issues e.g skype causing overheating 5. Lack of connection as you can't benefit from positive pheromones; we are strangers to each other months down the line

  • BarnabySmithUK Barnaby Smith (@BarnabySmithUK) reported

    @scicommhannah I have the same issue! I've started building in very deliberate breaks several times a day into my diary to go outside -whatever the weather - make coffee, read a book - basically anything that doesn't involve starting at people on Zoom/Teams/Skype/GoToMeeting....etc :-)

  • RamblingGuy89 RamblingGuy89 (@RamblingGuy89) reported

    There were some days I just didn't feel like being on Skype to chat with my close friends because I was in such a shitty mood I didn't want to bite one of their heads, if they decided to make playful roast banter at me. I knew, in that mood, I'd only cause more issues. Part 7

  • EverywhereUsbc usbcEverywhere (@EverywhereUsbc) reported

    @TheVanderWal @thenickrandolph It's funny first you say "People like to talk s**t about electron, but its been working out for discord, skype and plenty more." and than you say "Yes, I am aware of the performance issues. And yet, the vast majority of users don't know or care"

  • JacobiOfNamek EPL YoungLad (@JacobiOfNamek) reported

    @RoliverQueen_ Ah Kazaa aka a program that would be popular after Napster would shut down It's kinda crazy as well as some of the devs who made that would later on work on and create Skype

  • BlueDelilah6385 Delilah lynn (@BlueDelilah6385) reported

    @Skype Hello. if anyone still manages this account, I need help canceling my skype number, since I can not figure out how to get support any other way. I tried canceling it on the website and it does not work. You have charged me twice for this, and I do not want it anymore.
