Skype loses messages
Seriously. Here at Google we have infrastructure to guarantee at least once delivery. We have bugs every once in awhile but Skype has been losing messages for years. Why? How could you release such a thing. Wtf Microsoft.
Skype is the foulest turdy piece of software I've ever dealt with. Shit doesn't even work on Xbox - Microsoft's own goddamn product!
+1
Because it’s p2p.
Why are you still using skype at google? I dont use it anymore at msft. Everyone knows its a piece of crap.
Audio and video quality is very good. I just remembered, I went to school with one of the people who first created Skype (he retired long ago). He was kinda angry that Microsoft changed it from peer to peer to centralized.
You got your answer then :) use it for video and audio but send messages using something else. Its not the best solution but its the best youre going to get out of skype. Personally, I think even the performance of the app itself sucks. It seems pretty random, but at times it just becomes unresponsive for no reason when all my other apps are working just fine. Or sometimes, it will take a really long time to just show the window when I click on it. Its probably better on linux tho but I only use that version at home on my powerful computer, so cant really compare.
Skype used to be awesome
it’s a piece of shit
Why do you use Skype for messaging anyway!!
Network effects
Audio and video is better than hangouts
