@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

I don't watch much @CNN but I'm curious if they have nearly as many problems with #Webex as @MCNBC has with #Skype. I get why they use Skype, but holy crap is it unreliable! The lag and video dropouts are almost unwatchable.

@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.

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.

@locorama @NEWS1130 Starbucks, etc., have had months to follow guidelines to keep people safe. I know my higher power doesn’t want me to take chances that will make my family or community suffer. If guidelines can be followed, why not offer service? If not, offer service via Skype, zoom, you tube

@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.

@ScottLawlor12 Yes. MeetNow is Microsoft's gradual roll-in of Skype's voice and video calling features into Windows itself and/or Microsoft Teams. Now that Teams is available at all license tiers, Skype is officially shutting down at some point next year.

@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.

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.

Apparently the new @Skype policy can let ANY random stranger (not friend) call you at the middle of the night! Very bad UX, intrusive and totally a reason to stop using this service and search for alternatives. Sadly it's not a bug it's a feature. #skype

@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

@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"

@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.

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

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!

@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

@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 :-)
