Hi Andrew,

I despise Skype as much as anyone, in principle.

Nevertheless, I find it convenient to communicate with those near and
dear.

I will continue to experiment with the alternatives, such
as jitsi, signal (new to me) and ring.

Not that I use LinkedIn or have any words in praise of it,
but at least it doesn't use PulseAudio :)

Greetings,

Joel
