that being said, neither is necessary for Skype Electron, as Doug
already mentioned, it contains a self contained instance of Chrome

No. it’s not
necessary for you to have chrome. You can use either firefox
or internet explorer.
or curiosity, tu use skype electron, must I install google
chrome?

because, you ignoramus, every cotton pickin' time, there's
an announcement telling us of improvements to Skype, and it

and pulls out the same old argument time and time again, how
it will never be good because it is already worse and how
they need to do one thing or another to improve it. or,
better yet, bring back something that's clearly been put to
bed, and was considered being put to bed many years before
you even had an inkling of it being so. those of us that
watch trends and the like, knew that the minute MSN
Messenger was shut down, Skype was going to be the way of
things. moreover, we also knew that the interface, such as
it was, which was an interface that hadn't changed overly
much for the better part of ten years, I might add, was very
likely to be done away with and something either newer or
better or even, god forbid, both, was going to take its
place. A few of us knew, even back when Messenger went the
way of the dodo bird, that change was on the cards. and when
MS bought Skype and sounded the deathnel for Messenger, we
knew even then, that Skype was going to become their
flagship Messenger service.
Really, you are the minority, because you are the only one
bitching, pissing and moaning about the unfairness of it all
and how you have to exert 100% more effort. Christ, it must
be so hard to press a key on that keyboard, it's got to be a
strain on the brain and the hands to do that I'm sure.
Really, It's been said before by myself, and by others on
this list, so it's not our fault if you choose to ignore
what's right in front of you.
either get with it, or don't let the door hit ya where the
good lord split ya.

Sarah,
I asked you some time ago, but I haven't got any
answer from you.
Do
you accept only positive remarks about Skype on this
list?
Do
you like only the remarks that are the same as yours?
You
say that "we
are starting to not like it". Can you please tell me
who are those "we"?
Were
there votes made among all members of the list and you
observed that all list members don't like my messages?
And
btw, is there a rule of this list that tells that if
a certain number of members don't like the opinions of
other list members, those other list members should
not send those messages? Or something like that?
I
didn't send messages with swears, and I didn't send
strong messages against other list members, but yes, a
list member sent that kind of messages for me just
because he didn't like my opinion.
You
said that I sound like a broken record just because I
told my opinion for more times about the Skype version
I like and the one that I don't like. But what about
the other people that expressed their opinion but
their opinion was different? They don't sound like a
broken record only because their opinion matches
yours, or why they are OK but I am not?

Then
sit down, write your feedback to skype directly
and not here. We have already heard it. If you you
don't like it there is always zoom or the delete
key. You tend to sound like a broken record and we
are starting to not like it. You in this case and
on this list are the minority as you are I hink
the only one who is hating skype and its new ways.
Either get used to it, get left behind, or leave.
I'm speaking as a list member, not a mod.
Take
care

you are right. We are a minority and we will

This is what I am saying. But this doesn't
mean that we shouldn't say this just because
we can't change it.
Nothing
will be changed in our favour if we all
would continue to pretend that it is all
right when it is not all right for all of
us.

that's
not my point at all. in fact, you know what?
forget it.
I'm
done. Time and Time again, people have given
you solutions and whatnot and other feedback
to help you improve your efficiency with
Skype, and you still complain that it is
worse than what you had. build a bridge, get
over it, The new Skype is here to stay, and
no amount of belly aching on your part nor
anybody else's will extend the life of Skype
Classic. Microsoft have put it to bed, and
rightly so. We, whether you like to admit it
or not, are a minority, and we do not affect
a major corperation's bottom line as much as
we'd all wish we could, save for those to
whom products are specifically designed and
marketed towards us.
Whenever
I see an email from you regarding Skype, it
is a never ending litany of charges against
it's ease of use, that it's worse than what
you had, it's less accessible, it's less
efficient, it's this, it's that, or it's the
other.
That
is why I say you should expend that energy
you put in to thinking up and cmposing that
litany of charges, in to learning Skype or
whatever varients thereof, and actually be
constructive and positive, instead of
negative and disruptive.
We've
heard every single complaint you've raised
before, and reitterating them here, is not
going to change what currently is. If you
feel that strongly about it, contact the MS
Disability Access Desk and kindly present
them with your arguments.

I
already told you that this is not true.
I put a lot of efforts in learning to
use Windows 7, and I use it every day in
the last years, but I still consider it
worse and less accessible than Windows
XP.
After
I will learn to use Skype 8 I will be
able to use it very well, but that "very
well" would still be worse than using
Skype 7 for me.
Don't
think that all the people use the
applications the same way you use them.

so
do I, on both platforms, windows and
mac. IOS and android, well, that's a
whole other ballgame, but, it's
certainly better than it ever was.
Octavien,
if you put as much energy in to learning
the new skype as you do complaining
about it, you'd have nothing to complain
about.

The
biggest issue: Skype 8 uses
a web interface.
This
issue might be worked around
if the scripts will turn the
virtual buffer off
automaticly and it will use
only the PC cursor, and of
course, if this way Skype
will be fully accessible
this way.
The
best news is that for the
moment Skype 7 still works.
Too bad that it will
probably stop working soon.
