What does /g/ use to voice chat with techies online..?
>>53072556
I use steam for text chat and real life for voice chat
>>53072556
>"Get on Skype, anon!"
No one has ever said this to me so I haven't faced this problem.
>>53072556
>>53072556
Why the fuck are the codecs all of these programs use rubbish? They hardly even use x264 let alone x265
>>53072556
I have a skype simply because most people have one and i use that and discord for my normie friends, and mumble for everything else
>>53072556
>"Get on Skype, anon!"
What is this? 2007?
It's all about FaceBook Messenger now
>>53072755
They are focusing on lower latency, not lower bandwidth, aka, stuck in the past since the future is too fast
Seeing as the point of communication software is communication, and communication requires users, Skype, Discord and TeamSpeak.
>What does /g/ use to voice chat with techies online..?
Reminder that most techies online outside of this piece of shit really don't give a fuck about muh botnet
I'm so glad yuru yuri is catching on
>>53072844
cia nigger mods deleted the other thread
>I don't have Skype, but you can phone me at xxx-xxx-xxxx
You have a phone, right anon?
>>53073250
What if I fell for the T-Mobile meme and only have 100 minutes of talk?
Discord.
It's mostly for gaming shit, but it pretty much has basic IRC features built into it, with a history, and does a summary of links people drop automatically and shows images + videos for any links with those eg youtube.
Supports multiple channels (voice and text independantly) too, but I think it might be a honeypot or spyware.
>>53073260
Then you need to update your plan nigga
I have T-mobile with unlimited talk, text, unlimited 2g and 10 gbs of LTE
>>53073379
>2g
Can't do shit with 2g.
>>53072556
I don't engage with normies via anything but phonecalls. Also why would I want to talk to other autists over the internet
>>53073362
But bonus points
>can use the client right in their website, downloading is completely optional, all you need is a link
>absolutely free to be an admin or user, and no limitations
>supports user groups and permissions per-channel, voice or text
>text to speech fuckery
>>53073413
How about you read that again
>>53073444
>>53073445
I go through 100 GB of LTE a month, don't wave 10 at me like I give a fuck.
>>53073444
>444
So what does this mean..?
>>53073444
>>53072556
When is tox going to be finished and get the audit?
>>53073444
Sorry op but filename
>>53073467
>Using a phone that much
Fuck off
funny this thread pops up right now; im having wicked bad issues with skype right now and want to fucking bail. currently using google hangouts because it doesnt make me sound like a robot from 1995 but desktop support is absolute shit. anyone got any suggestions? currently running linux, friend is running windows
>>53073444
whoops
>>53073524
>>53073470
It means op has to leave. Trips are dubs on steroids.
>>53073511
>he doesn't torrent on the go
I used to have it set up where I would use my phone to send torrents to my pc, but leaving my machine up 24/7 is expensive so I just hot swap sd cards every 2 weeks after filling up on shit I realize in the middle of the day I need to download.
>>53072556
IRC
literally no reason to use anything else
if someone is not on it then he is not worth talking to
>>53073570
>using antiquated bullshit
Doesn't even support voice.
I wish I could convince my friends to switch to Tox...
>>53073670
I'm looking at tox right now and am turned off from it by the fact that, uh, the website is down. Is it usually pretty reliable?
>>53073684
>the website is down
works fine for me, the url is tox.chat
>>53073703
>tox.chat
Ah, there we go. OP linked tox.im. I'll take a look at it.
i used tox once and it leaked my ip
my qtox 64 on windows always wants to update when i turn it on, anyone else getting this?
>>53072556
>tfw I uploaded that picture
Thank me, weebs
Nobody uses Skype anymore. Every normie I know uses FB Chat or Google Hangouts
>>53073718
So I've got it all set up now, but it immediately hangs up when I try to call someone. Anyone else got this problem?
>>53073564
>just hot swap sd cards every 2 weeks after filling up on shit I realize in the middle of the day I need to download
When the fuck are you going to find time to watch all that shit? I've recently stockpiled 300 GB of anime & it'll take me months to watch all of it.
>>53074085
Nevermind, just found out that a bug report was opened for the problem in qTox 12 days ago. Going to try uTox for now.
>>53073949
Prove it kid.
I prefer not to voice chat with people in general. I use Skype, Steam, and IRC for text chat with people. I'll use Tox once in a blue moon if I know someone who uses it and prefers it.
>mfw live with parents and can't ever voice chat with my buddies because they're only online during real nigga hours when the entire apartment's asleep
I'm gonna move out so fast after I finish school next December
>>53072556
OCIM / Lync / Skype for Buisness
I already have enterprise voice and hybrid configuration makes things easy.
>>53072769
Wow you must be old. Fb? Really?
>>53072556
should i have access to my super computer, ideally i would use hangouts
Or you can use teamspeak

Discord.
Can't be doxxed or DDOS'd by autistic sociopaths and your chats aren't compromised by the NSA.
>voice chat
A phone.
>that feeling when unlimited talk/text for 25$/month
>text chat
pidgin+pidgin-otr on xmpp, or IRC.
>>53072556
Skype because of
>"Get on Skype, anon!"
Used it for the better part of a fuggin decade now and I dont intend to switch
>>53079204
>babby duck gamers cant into a better voip.
Is there a decent, super-minimal direct peer to peer void chat thing? I remember I-Hear-U but I'd prefer something that didn't _require_ a GUI
I thought maybe something like "nc -l -p 9001 <(arecord) | aplay" but that's kind of shit
Jabber/XMPP+OTR
