Re:Microsoft to retire Skype Linux app on July 1 on Friday June 09, 2017 @12:18PM (#14522407)
Do your dad a favor and buy him a tablet. I'd recommend an iPad for longevity and security reasons.

The previous team I was on was internal corp IT. Everyone was begging to ditch GotoMeeting and move to Skype.

But Skype was awful as well.

So we tested Zoom/Bluejeans/Hangouts and others (went with Zoom, fwiw).

We quit bothering with desktop/browser apps for video, and generally stuck to phone for audio only.

The Android and iOS experience with all of them was much less flakey.

Curious if you have some concrete examples of "loosely coupled" software projects. On GH perhaps?

It's a concept I try to keep in mind, but am never sure I am "doing it right".
