minus-squareDiddlydee@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoSkype died years ago. It was awful and rarely worked.
minus-squareKernelTale@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoOnly after Microsoft bought it tho
minus-squarebizarroland@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoYep, I was literally coming in to say that Skype was trashed the instant Microsoft bought it.
minus-squareHubertManne@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoI was trying to figure that out to. The original thing really got messed up. I swear you did not really need an account of any kind originally.
minus-squareLedgeDrop@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months ago… and that was the last Linux version of Skype.
minus-squareAdamBomb@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoIt was so good before then
minus-squarejonne@infosec.publinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoThe merge with the Microsoft account was never done properly and it means I’ve got like 3 different accounts that don’t fully work with Skype, Teams or whatever else you need Microsoft for. Good thing I rarely need any of them
minus-squarecorsicanguppy@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 month ago It was awful and rarely worked. You have confused it with Lynx, the product derived from MSCommunicator and renamed Skype4biz. Regular skype was awesome; less so after MS swapped P2P for C2S but meh. Still better than teams, which, ironically, is where skype4biz went.
minus-squaregrrgyle@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoIt was actually a really slick IM client for like a hot minute.
minus-squareTurtleTourParty@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoIt was decent on computers but they never managed to make a good mobile app. And then Microsoft made it much worse on computers.
