I used this opportunity to finally rid myself of Skype entirely. Nobody |
| 12 |
knows how it’s still possible to use that Microsoft infested spyware on Linux |
| 13 |
anway, and unless I install pulseaudio, it doesn’t give me any more features |
| 14 |
than Kopete already does. Once I did emerge -C skype, there even weren’t any |
| 15 |
blockers left or remerges with x32 abi¹. Packages to install for -uD world |
| 16 |
went from 117 to 41. So good riddance. |

what it says when I’m back home in two days. |
