No argument there, but annoyingly since they killed Skype (it’s own lovely pile of garbage and spyware), the only thing my parents will use to chat online is Teams.

I have tried to get them to use Discord or pretty much anything else, but they have been unreceptive.

I am on Linux and so I just use the browser version, which at least sandboxes stuff for me, I think.

My wife and father-in-law used to use Skype all the time, and when it shut down, the stars aligned as I suggested they try Signal and they both loved it.
