Hey Timothy, have you really read my post?
1. I wrote it clearly "I still need Skype". (And yes, I have my reasons
for it, even if it surprises you.)
2. And how have you arrived to "Ubuntu" subject? I'm Debian user. Again
read to post you replied to.
3. I really don't care what you personally use and if you are happy with
it or not. I need a Skype user suggestion about a particular situation.
You do not use Skype and have no clue to be in help. Then just skip off.
Boy, these thread hijacking boys are annoying.
Thanks

Hi folks,
I use Skype installed from Debian official repo. A couple of days
ago
it refused to update reporting "server timed out". After looking into
it, I found that MS removed Skype.deb package from their server and
basically forces everyone to use Snap package instead.
Skype is the only app I would need Snap for on my system.
Unfortunately,
I still need Skype and I do not see any alternative but to concede
to MS
(and Ubuntu?) brute coercion.
To hell with Ubuntu, I use Google Voice, Chat and Meet. All three are
free and work great just using the browser.
Any body installed Snap on their Debian system? Any problems with
that
thing? Any suggestions to use Skype otherwise?
Thanks

Good morning Juan
Three sites suggest:
wget https://repo.skype.com/latest/skypeforlinux-64.deb
Some of them are older, but 1 refers to bookworm.
So maybe all isn't lost
All the best
