46 active contacts and 12 blocked account in my Skype 4.3.0.37 (2014 Skype and&#x2F;or Microsoft Patents Pending)<p>Family: Wife (mac), Mom(ubuntu) and Sister(win)
All - Family = work or business (i can safely say that 90% are OS from MS).<p>Do I want all those contacts in my slack ?
No i don&#x27;t.<p>Do I want to change to another <i>very powerful</i> chat system?
Well, sometimes connect sqlite3 to find a conversation is not really what i want to do but the problem is to use chat system as storage for important communication so, No I don&#x27;t what another shitty chat system.<p>My &quot;rest folder&quot; contains current work, future work, very good and bad work experiences from the past and maybe unplanned new jobs.<p>People are still there in green every morning cause they may want support or want to give jobs and after they pay they tends to use less email and more (shitty) chat systems.<p>In my case skype is only for work and i don&#x27;t what to confuse the clear skype sound in my phone with something else that the work. Remove those contacts today means lose money tomorrow, i cannot remove that program and it is immediately installed after vim and git.<p>So after declaring to be a slave of skype like many others,  
I don&#x27;t ask microsoft to change it, to fix it, to improve it or do it more cool or modern. I ask for my freedom: We need public, usable and having a sane license API to build something _better_ around it and remove that green icon from the status bar or my GNU&#x2F;Linux Mint.
