@KyleCranmer Good question that I’m not sure the answer to. The only thing I’ll note is that I’ve had other applications crash without a problem from Ubuntu. Only Skype has managed to bring down the whole OS repeatedly.

I have been desperately trying how to help others in our covid situation but not much I can do. What I can do is be there...If you need to talk or just need an ear, I am here. Stranger or friend doesn't matter. Zoom/Skype/FB/DM whatever

You thought your phone was bad with out internet service. I'm trying to work on Corp laptop with no VPN. Can see the hard drive but that's about it. ERwin license inoperative, no Skype or Teams mtgs, no DB access. One doesn't miss email so much, tho. ;)

@PatrickFreyne1 I have a theory that it's because you can't gauge people's reactions or even know if you're talking to one person or on loud speaker and secretly you're being laughed at. Many people that would never dream. Of a phone call would have no problem with zoom or Skype

This would all be done remotely, through Zoom/Skype/Facetime, and no specific hours are necessary. The hospital is looking for a deep bench of volunteers they can call on during those moments when they need this sort of help.

Just had a Skype quiz where we all wrote 2 sets of 10 questions. Forgot to factor in what a bad loser my mum is. I may not make out of this lock down alive considering how much she lost to me by...

@WienerSperrzeit Right. But then there’s skype or what’s app which may be useful for small groups. Schools+univ. have to adapt to current situation which means some courses might be stripped down to essentials but it still means uninterrupted studies.

Microsoft sending out PR releases to say Teams doesn’t have Zoom’s security/privacy gaps. = Major catchup exercise. Zoom has trounced Teams/Skype in the last month as a popular video-conf platform. Skype fighting back, ditching the frustrating account issues it had.

I am currently thinking about how the sads are starting to kick in again because everything is terrible and im probably going to end up having my first big cry in front of my therapist on a Skype session next week. I should be sleeping and not having an existential crisis.

@1LegendaryWest @SarahKSilverman 3/4 all safeguarded by the exact same or higher stds employed now when staff interact w/ residents. This is only if the facility has not made available a trained staff member who can help the residents under the proven-safe conditions & get them going on zoom, Skype, etc.

@StoreAwesome1 maybe their Skype was broken and the ‘planned’ visit was essential to say hello... 😷

@ammienoot For me, there is a curious problem that isn’t technical. It having to focus on conversation in Skype, the board, the Twitter, and trying to speak good - oh and there’s also imaging how it all sounds to listeners. Sometimes it’s a bit 2 much 4 a fried little mind like mine

@sbisson Google Hangouts for work, Zoom, Skype and Messenger otherwise (depending on what the other party is able to operate - me “knowing IT” is no help to someone who just wants it to work)

I spent over an hour on skype with my mom so she can help me make homemade mashed potatoes for dinner. I really didn’t need help I just miss her and want her to feel important. 💕
