    @LY_VIOLETROSE I think they take pleasure in being contrary and the fix of “I know best and the world is against me”, it’s bloody arrogant and dangerous. If they truly believe it doesn’t exist then let them spend 5mins on a ward listening to a family saying goodbye to loved one by Skype.

    @funder If you are lonely, just know there are people out there who care about you that don't even know you. The best way to not be lonely is to help others in some way. Sign up to call senior citizens to check in on them, tutor kids by Skype, or volunteer some where.

    I am Programmer by Profession, unless you are close or I like you as a person or we are doing a value exchange. I even charge for sitting and listening to your problem on Skype and later for fixing it. I studied and worked hard to become this capable. NOTHING for FREE.

    @Julia90235033 I'd ask such people,what will they feel if someone separate them and their baby.But will call/show baby's face on Skype. Is that okay? "what's the problem",seriously?🤦🤦 As a kinesthetic person,it's physically necessary 4 me to feel my man nearby,to touch him.I cry every night🤷

    @Nice_Georgia_x I was on skype yesterday with a old schoolfriend who now lives in Wuhan. He told me about their systems. They had just had 24 cases & locked down the whole city. Mandatory & effective phone app. No app, no shopping. They plan to conduct 11 million tests over the next week.

  • thesavvyfox SavFox (@thesavvyfox) reported

    I'm sick of the 'parents need to step up' attitude about schools closing. Its not that we don't want to engage or help with learning its that both are pretty hard when you are in a Skype meeting or working full time That doesnt mean I think they should keep all schools open

  • melr1999 Mel (@melr1999) reported

    @6eth___ I used to hangout in a **** ton of online chats in middle school and once this dude asked me to Skype and I was like okay but then he turned on cam and he was really scary so I just force shut down the laptop and told him the laptop crashed

    And apologies in advance for some of the #skype issues. As many will know, some weeks Skype just wants to make you suffer.

  • AchaiWolf Achawoo (@AchaiWolf) reported

    There's a REASON why you can't call 911 through Skype. Microsoft does not want the liability of a service problem getting SOMEONE killed.

  • LeeGamble1973 Lee Gamble (@LeeGamble1973) reported

    @_Jo_pu Am offshore at the mo, we all use skype on pc's to call our family, I just called our lass and said "Hello stinky bot" when she answered but it a Scottish voice said "I think you have the wrong number" while sniggering down the phone, it was of the other lads wives, mortified 😳

  • toa_XY Thomas O. Adams (@toa_XY) reported

    @matvelloso Of course a failed login attempt originating in China. Trying to get into my Skype LOL. Couldn't you send warnings to users that usually login in one country and who have failed login attempts in other countries?

  • TaylorJOtt Taylor Ott (@TaylorJOtt) reported

    @DaultRadio I don't think Skype ever solved its laggy video problem, or at least not its reputation of having a laggy video problem.

  • paddyjoeboyle Patrick Boyle (@paddyjoeboyle) reported

    Skype’s 2021 resolution is to help people log back in.

    A man paid $40 to Skype My feet for 5min last night and he didn’t even last 2min. Even the lowest part of My body can bring men crumbling down.

  • mancunianmedic david oliver (@mancunianmedic) reported

    also when i was doing 1 pm bulletin and having just been introduced by Ben Brown the internet went down and he was left with dead air and me swearing. Skype is banned software at the hospital and doesn't work at home so that was the end of my attempts to use it
