So is Yahoo Messenger still complete garbage?

Post by Robotdoll » Sun Nov 27, 2016 11:38 am

No way to tell if someone is online and all?

I used YM for my online play, but with no way to know if someone is there, it’s useless.

Anyone got a better app suggestion? I’d prefer one I can use on my PC more than my phone.

Of course, then the challenge is tracking down my old playmates and telling them about the new app.

(Feel free to also consider this a new request for online playmates)

I think we're all moving to skype. I'm fairly happy with both the PC and phone interface.

Is there a web client for Skype? The Linux client is crap.

I just use the app for it, but if you're using linux I guess you're out of luck.

I guess the Android emulator wouldn't do it, eh?

I didn't even know there was an Android emulator for it.

We need an Android emulator that makes humans act exactly like, and think like androids! :D

Actually, yes, there is a web client. http://web.skype.com Though your mileage may vary. I was using it on my android device, but in the desktop mode, as they claimed it wasn't available on Android Chrome yet.

Ah, yes, but it requires you to sign up with an existing phone number (sends you a code via sms I think). That's a 100% no-go for me.

So, I haven't been required to put in a phone number yet (I know a LOT of the services are moving in that direction). It may be because I'm grandfathered in, but try looking for a "skip" link or button.

For an unknown reason, it did not request a phone number after sending the code this time. So, yes, I can use Skype for web now. If anyone is interested to play with me, drop a message.
