how dangerous is skype? what information does it store? How safe is it to use with a fresh account that has no relation to my real life data?
Holy shit get a tinfoil hat please
Remember to setchmod 700on your main account so that the skype one won't be able to access your files.

Just use https://tox.chat/

Tin foil actually makes your head receive more signals, it works like an antenna.
>>52478147
If you wrap your whole body in tinfoil it makes a faraday cage, which blocks all signals.
>>52478084
Skype is non-free software. That's how dangerous it is.
>>52478144
I specifically need skype because i'm interacting with normies
OP use this: https://github.com/teran-mckinney/raru

Just read their TOS, then uninstall that spyware immediately.
>Skype may gather and use information about you, including (but not limited to) information in the following categories:
>Identification data (e.g. name, address, telephone number, mobile number, email address)
>Profile information (e.g. age, gender, country of residence, language preference...)
>Electronic identification data (e.g. IP addresses, cookies)
>Banking and payment information (credit card information, account number)
>The URL of videos that you have selected to appear in your mood message
>List of your contacts
>Traffic data
>The duration of the call, the number calling and the number called
>Content of instant messaging communications
>Location information and device identifiers
>Skype currently keeps your instant messages for a maximum of 30 days; Voicemail messages are currently stored for a maximum of 60 days
It's a keylogger. In their TOS they literally state that they store your IMs on their servers for 30 days; this isn't a tin-foil-hat conspiracy, it's literally stated in the fucking TERMS OF SERVICE.
>>52478354
is it really a keylogger or does it just store messages and voice mail?
>>52478354
That'd be IMlogger, not keylogger.
>>52478448
Due to it being a proprietary software, we will never know for sure. We can only speculate. Microsoft isn't known as the most ethical corporation, nor do they particularly obligated to respect your privacy. They are also one of the more long-standing voluntary members of NSA PRISM program.
Make your own conclusions and base your decisions on those.
>>52478448
We don't know
>>52478478
It's only an IM logger at best. But it's only certainly riddled with backdoors and spyware that isn't spelled out in the TOS. That's a pretty shitty deal on your end.
>>52478514
Yeah, that's why I said to run it with >>52478237
>>52478084
>>52478530
isn't this for linux?
>>52478724
What are you running if you are worrying about skype then?
>>52478780
an old version of win7
>>52478832
>runs Microsoft software
>worries about running other Microsoft software

You better be a master troll. This shit's hilarious!
Here's a better free as in freedom alternative. (3rd try deleting and reposting here... yes, I'm ashamed)

I've used it with my buddies since 2010. It's great.
>>52480691
>>52480435
same. best voice chat program there is (with best quality as well, IMO).
Who decided that C was the main disk, A was 3.5, F was floppy, and D was cd?
it used to be good before it got bought out.
I still cant believe makers sold it for fucking peanuts.
>>52481247
Only C is always the main disk
You can mount anything in A, B, D, E, F...
I use B for backup, C for SSD and D for HDD.
But drive letters are a retarded invention anyway.
>>52478144
What's the difference between this and discord?
>>52480691
>>52480775
Great! Glad to see more people use Mumble.
>>52481385
i want to know this also.
>>52481247
>>52481337
Wrong. Originally, A:\ and B:\ were reserved for floppies (when those were a thing) so C:\ was the first available one for a harddrive.
Yay, backwards compatibility.
>>52478084
Well my I caught my friend trapping because it has a recorder built in provided you know how to use it.
Feels bad man
>>52481337
how young are you
nice 1337 get tho
>>52478198
reee
>>52481422
I've been using it since 2010-ish as well. Talking with friends on it pretty much every day since. It has pretty much become a fundamental part of my every-day computing and it just works(TM).
The new design looks pretty decent as well, pic related.
>>52481956
A and B can be used for whatever you want since at least Windows XP. who cares how it was in MS DOS
>>52482007
Windows UI looks better than on Linux, why... -.-'
>>52482078
Are you using v1.3.0? They redesigned the icons and included a light and dark theme.
>>52482166
It looks great! Sadly I'm on Debian and I'm still running 1.2.8. Guess I'll have to wait a little longer, but that's OK. C:
>>52478084
They take measure of your sphincter.
