@treysis @neojima No one here uses Skype. I’ve run like this for quite some time in other locations. No issues to report. Host v6 only with a NAT64/DNS64 system is pretty well traveled. Not complicated, lots of huge deployments.

Spoke to a friend whose husband is French. Hearing and understanding French is no problem and writing in French does not pose major issues either. However, holding a conversation in French for two hours on skype without switching registers all the time is another story.

@micaandreea I wouldn’t expect privacy on company provided accounts (messaging apps, email etc). But the upgrade for this “service” is pretty expensive. Not every employer can do that. I knew about this from my previous job some years back. We used skype for non work internal communication

I love how all these guys talk about, "would $5,000 help you out?" And they wanna chat and talk and Skype, but when you ask for money first to make sure you're not blocking that time off for nothing...crickets. My time is valuable. Pay me for it. 🙄🙄🙄

"sorry man, I cashed in my chips already. You're sitting online advertising to do skype shows and then telling me you're too busy. Homie homo don't play that. I'm off to bed anyway. One day, you'll learn not to play the guys who actually could help you on here. Good nite"

whatever happened to Skype? did the creators of Zoom create covid so people would be forced to use their service and ruin Skype?

I partially locked down (Skype; no large groups indoors) on 2/5/20 due to tweets of people like @Barton_options and @INVESTMENTSHULK. (Thankful for them!) I'm slowly rejoining the world now... nothing to do with regulations and everything to do with idiosyncratic reward/risk.

@TrumanLab first round = currently in-person? (obviously a huge amount of winnowing-down happens in (previously) skype interviews). so maybe a seminar over zoom with a few meetings for 6-8 then maybe three "finalists"?

@dorkfish615 They closed down the app due to lack of use. There was a brief attempt to use it for covid specific purposes (a version of Skype and conversation), but decided it wasn’t going to catch on. It’s unfortunate...

@suckitnerdbugx I tracked it down and it was a more interesting watch than the UK equivalent that was basically a doc made on zoom/skype. The US one was a more slick affair showing how it was filmed.

@skype or @msftsecurity didn't respond. I guess they don't do irony. There appears no way to report when your account is hacked. You do get notified in real time as the hackers add their emails and take your Skype Credit, but you can't raise the alarm. Terrible.
