Microsoft is shutting down Skype after a 21-year run. Here’s how it lost out to video call rivals

On Friday, Microsoft announced that the 21-year-old calling and messaging service will shut down May 5. The software company is encouraging Skype users to migrate to its free Teams app. “This is obviously a big, big moment for us, and we’re certainly very grateful in many ways,” Teper said. “Skype pioneered audio and video calling on the web for many, many people.”

@Yuvalne consider #NextcloudTalk (included in @nextcloud / #Nextcloud as hosted by @monocles and @Stuxhost ) as well as #JitsiMeet (which is even easier to #SelfHost.

If you only need 1:1 #Videocalling, consider #WebCall as a secure alternative.

All 3 use #WebRTC and don't require any shitty #Client #Installation whatsoever: They work from any modern #Browser like #Firefox!

@TheCoolest I don't see the blog post say "without an account". It implies you still need an account... you just don't need to be in a group chat to start a group call.

Whereby does "without an account" and it does it pretty well.

@clokep @thunderbird @matrix As of now I do use dedicaded #chat apps for #IRC, #XMPP + #OMEMO XMPP + #PGP/MIME and #Zulip on a daily basis, depending on what kind of chat I want/need.

- IRC is excellent for public chats.

- XMPP+OMEMO & XMPP+PGP/MIME are good in terms of privacy and security for 1:1 chats...

- @zulip is my go-to option for private organization chats where searchable group chats and organization are more important than anything.
https://zulip.com/why-zulip/

OFC #Thunderbird's focus is on #eMail, Calendar, Contacts and #RSS, so I don't expect it to become "Unified communication Suite"* because I think a robust, stable and secure product is more important than feature-creep.

And yes I should take a deeper dive into Thunderbird more despite using it for almost two decades...

* [ if it could do #VoIP via #SIP and #Videocalling via #WebCall, #JitsiMeet and/or @nextcloud #NextcloudTalk that would basically cover all communication needs I ever had ]

Diving into the digital age with Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses 👓🌐, but I've hit a curious snag! The whispers of video calling capabilities have tickled my ears, yet clarity eludes me. 🤔 Can anyone shed light on this? Is video calling a hidden gem within these stylish frames, or just a mirage in the tech desert? #RayBanMeta #VideoCalling #TechEnigma

@animemer @thecatcollective
- in #RadioAstronomy, #GIMP is the standard since they use #64bit "Colour Space".
- #Audacity is the go-to solution for a lot of #RF and non-Voice/Music #Audio work.
- #WebCall (1:1 #E2EE) & #JitsiMeet (#Videoconferencing) are excellent tools being used for #Videocalling.
- @torproject #Tor is the go-to communications solution for state and non-state actors.
- #Monero :monero: is the black market currency #1

All are FLOSS'd!

@j0 I call that #StockholmSyndrome, since there are better options longer than the dumpsterfire that is #discord.

Need a #public chat?
#IRC does that.

Need #voicechat?
#Mumble got you covered.

Want to have an organization chat?
Check out #Zulip.

Need #Videocalls in a Group?
#JitsiMeet does that excellent.

Want private 1:1 chats? #XMPP - #OMEMO to the rescue!

Or do you need some private #VideoCalling / #VoiceCalling? Consider #WebCall!

There is no good reason to use #Discord!

Share files more easily in Google Meet meetings:
* share access to the content you’re presenting with attendees and everyone on the Calendar guest list
* be prompted with the file access dialog when sharing a Drive, Docs, Sheets etc link in meeting chat
