"Until we release an update to zoom that 'accidentally' enabled that feature for everyone"

[-] Haha@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

Rossman fan?

[-] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

No, what/who is it ?

Louis Rossman is a big proponent of radical ideas like 'owning the things you paid for' and right to repair, privacy, etc.

A few weeks back he made a video about how shitty the ToS of Zoom was, basically 'we can use all of your data and you can't take any legal action.'

He proposed Jitsi, and this is only the second time I've ever heard of it.

Thanks, will look him up.

I tried to lobby for Jitsi at work, but habits die hard. There's also a general mistrust in things that are free, because they're associated with poor service/quality. I observe that everywhere, regardless of field.

Which is so weird because so many companies heavily rely on open source for their programs.

They've already introduced the idea now every business and agency which uses it has to consider the risks. Lmao.
