Why is Zoom even still popular? Remember when Apple had to push a security update to undo its insane HTTP daemon? I guess we’re all just okay trusting their janky-ass Windows adjacent UI and security model.

jitsi is good feature wise, but it's not widely advertised..

I guess because that's a standard tool everyone in business has. Also the Microsoft alternatives (including Skype after buyout) sucks. I don't use these tools (used Skype before Microsoft purchased it), so this is not my personal opinion.

Did everyone have it before the pandemic? I remember Zoom popping fully formed out of nowhere.

I don't even understand how it goes popular in the first place when Skype and Google Meet already existed before the Pandemic. It even had a whole "Chinese company/servers" scare too but it still held on.

this. my last companies security team was crazy aggressive but would allow zoom meetings right after the big security incident.
