On: New Skype Update Is Horrible

[digi_owl]

The problem with XMPP seems to be that it is stuck in extension hell. There is simply too many XEPs bouncing around.

The last great hope was back when both Facebook and Google used it, and you could connect one to the other.

Since then both have gone proprietary, and dragged their user base with them.

And Hangouts/Allo/whatever-it-is-this-week still doesn't work. Google Talk actually worked :(
