I don't skype with my family anymore. I told them to install JITSI if they wanted to talk with me online.

They have Mac and Windows packages so it was not hard to convert them.

Hello!

Nice that it's open source AND encrypted, too.

The encryption will keep out virtually everyone else, but if they want to, the NSA WILL hear you - no matter WHAT you do. They snoop on every American's email, your web activity, and all your phone calls. (Not paranoid. Just perceptive.)

I would imagine that super-strong encryption sends up a 'red flag' to them. They'll just devote more of the cryptanalytic power of a huge building filled with Cray supercomputers your way...

You've gotta laugh at yourself sometimes.
I remember when skype were celabrating having 200,000 uses on line at the same time now it's 60 odd million.

I started easing off using it when ebay bought it and my registration lapsed so when an old friend who wrote a bespoke office app for me in the 90's asked to talk again on skype I had to reregister.

He lives/works in the windows world but he's been getting into html5 so I want to see what he's been upto.
