  • EvaIsAdorable Eva Webb: Adorable Antifascist Nerd Queen (@EvaIsAdorable) reported

    @Robo_Strange Kinda? I went to broadcast school for a year once, but that was before digital. So here's what I've discovered: composite tracks like the kind you get from skype and discord suck, and the mixing on them is terrible. not good when you want to attempt to do a professional show

  • HockleyBear HockleyBear (@HockleyBear) reported

    @wazzaster @GiddeeAunt @WestminsterWAG So should wildlife documentaries be filmed by Skype or Zoom? How do you expect to show what the issues are if you don’t go there? Idiot 🙄

  • BUFFM0NA_BOT buff mona (@BUFFM0NA_BOT) reported

    Im a nonthreatening feminist boy, come talk to me on Skype! talk to me on skype about your problems as a woman i sympathize i’m taking womens studies. I took women’s studies I know what ‘systematic’ means.

  • aixiae Trindade 🀄 Comissions OPEN (@aixiae) reported

    @tuIugaaraq I know this might be a stupid question, but have you tried seeking professional help? Not sure how affordable /available it would be for you (and obviously not everyone is up for it) but it does help for some people. Even if you have to do the appointments via Zoom/Skype call idk

  • CentralReserva9 The President-Elect Mrs Ronald Raccoon (@CentralReserva9) reported

    @Femi_Sorry @BillHanage What an irony. After endlessly chuntering on that Britain's Covid is all down to one man.. Boris.. Overlooking or just deliberately refusing to consider the fact that Boris & gvt would have acted on advice of experts. Here he is demanding we watch his Skype call with a nobody

  • JL_icious 🌈jlicious: burnout recovery (@JL_icious) reported

    @DatSketcher_ I LOST IT when the documentary went like. grand murder case bc of extortion and copyright identity issues. the age of twinks. did you know gay porn pioneered the foundation of modern streaming technology, bought by Skype. I LOST IT

  • daleparryiles Dale (@daleparryiles) reported

    @DavidHodgettMP @andrewbogut Prisoners weren’t allowed visits for a year. Instead they were given tablets so they could have Skype video calls with their family and friends... I don’t see how anybody has a problem with that.

  • StephenRayGarza Stephen Ray Garza (@StephenRayGarza) reported

    @RealHintKeeper Admittedly I don't know how many people are around but you could do it on line (skype discord, etc. , but maybe a wake with friends and found family might help. Tell favorite stories share favorite pieces of art or pictures. I don't know. I'm so sorry for all that's happened.

  • Weeaboo__Bot Weeaboo Bot (@Weeaboo__Bot) reported

    Im a nonthreatening feminist samurai! talk to me on skype about your problems as a woman i sympathize i’m taking womens studies. I took women’s studies I know what ‘vocaloid’ means. Man I’m so horny today. Sorry.I’m sorry. I just came out and said it.

  • _Kindynos Kindynos (@_Kindynos) reported

    Many of the proofs I had are from long deleted Messenger, Facebook and Skype accounts, and many are things that were never written down, just happened. I cut contact with everyone that did not unfriend that bastard too, so I do not have support from these "old friends"

  • Caerdwyn Caerdwyn (@Caerdwyn) reported

    @JTAC005 @AndreaLibman MS Teams has a terrible habit of sucking up way too much CPU until your laptop’s cooking fan can be heard in the next room while bloating it’s memory usage then exploding into shards-of-aluminum-slivers confetti (especially the Mac version). Still not as bad as Skype though.

  • napkatz Paul Aldige Katz (@napkatz) reported

    @XboxSupport @SkypeBusiness Hi. Skype video crashes my Series X seconds after it is turned on. Web Cam is fine for the other apps. Is this issue on your radar screen?

  • Kirin_Princess Blue Kirin Princess 🏳️‍🌈 (@Kirin_Princess) reported

    @KeepFriendMagic @AndreaLibman @SunniWestbrook We’re moving to Teams and it’s terrible. Worse than Skype, which managed to be worse than Lync. I’ve spent hours turning off notifies so it stops popping things up over the stuff I’m actually trying to do.

  • 7ameZ_Stein violet steinberg / 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ (@7ameZ_Stein) reported

    And if you're wondering why I mentioned Skype, I've used it while chatting a few times with my IRL friend, while playing online games and we didn't have like connection issues or anything,

    @skype does anyone have the number for customer service for Skype. Been trying to cancel my account for months.

  • SarahDemoness Sarah, Your Living Nightmare🩸 (@SarahDemoness) reported

    Yesterday, on a Skype call, my father had the audacity to tell me that I should go to chef school. I had to smile down an explosion of anger and betrayal. I was and still am furious. I hate how they squashed my dreams and ambitions.

  • BUFFM0NA_BOT buff mona (@BUFFM0NA_BOT) reported

  • alex_gaddis1 Alex (@alex_gaddis1) reported

    Love seeing a syllabus that says you'll be docked for minor grammatical errors because success requires good writing LITTERED WITH TYPOS Fall dates, not Spring One line references "Skype" but we use Teams "CVOID-19"

  • buckdasystem Globby (@buckdasystem) reported

    Kinda wondering if I should see about checking up on people I've not seen since Skype/MSN/AIM. I know I used to have a public account that everyone could just "add" me on, and a lot I've not seen since closing down my skype (and also ending my SpiderdaSquirrel account)

    Not me forgetting my Skype login and having to remake one. I’m tired. 😭
