It's a pretty low bar for the word 'break'. By the same token you could walk up to a bunch of people in a restaurant and start yelling at them while they're having dinner. That's also not a break. It's just a nuisance and proof that you're a jerk, and if you did it in person you'd likely end up with some dental work.

#152It feels like the tech news cycle is so predictable... Stage 1: This company you probably hadn't heard of before is blowing up / changing the world! Stage 2 (current stage): Actually it turns out this company has some unexpected problems! Stage 3: Actually this company is actively contributing to society's One Big Problem! Stage 4: Actually here is why Zoom actually isn't as bad as everyone thinks! Stage 5: This OTHE…
I am out of the loop as to why Zoom is suddenly "blowing up". Even my workplace is using it now. Previously, we were using either Skype, Webex, or Jitsi. What does Zoom offer that the other three doesn't?
same.
known zoom for a while... the "it just works" and "it has better quality" comments are very surprising to me and got me skeptical. are skype, slack, gotomeeting, hangouts, meet, webex, &c. all really crashing on people now? in a huge conspiracy?
things i thought could be the real reason: novelty (for some/most people), popularity (someone online famous/influencer mentioned it), shadow marketing, luck.
but wikipedia told me is actually going on: schools have decided that zoom will be the de-facto remote schooling platform. a bunch of young people appropriated the platform it seems.
hope that helps. the superiority talk is just that. but now they are in a good position to become better than any other video conferencing software.

#153They don't implement security by default to gain traction, both the service and the user groups. The expected happened unexpectedly.
The inevitable happened expectedly?
I believe Chief Technology Offices will be reformed as Chief Security Offices since so many features are built-in that automated common sense is what sells.

I hope you're wearing a hard hat at all times; if not - then it's your fault when complete stranger smashes you with a brick. Who you will be mad at after that ?
Come on, Adolf Hitler has participated in Kahoot games ever since Kahoot was invented.
I lost track of which analogy is in favor of what and which is against.

Is this a joke? 4chan is the well-known internet forum/image board. https://www.4chan.org/
Yikes. Looks like a pretty misogynistic place.
Nonsense; 4chan doesn't hate women. They hate everyone. Every race, every gender, every religion, every nationality, every profession, every socioeconomic status. No matter who you are, 4chan will find a slur for you.

#1574 chan exist like 20 years or something. Does anyone ever thought about a legal way to shut it down and lock up couple of admins? I'm sure their stupid troll raids cost billions since it started.
15 years old. Admins grip the banhammer tight on raiding threads, comply with warrants, so it stays up. That activity was driven to other sites set up for that purpose.

I'm just saying that kids have been signing into Kahoot with names as Naughtius Maximus and Biggus Dickus since forever. There used to be a kahootbombing subreddid that eventually got banned. If you just have a username and no password there's problems. Why is that even news?
No clue what everyone else is saying.

#159https://mobile.twitter.com/BorisJohnson/status/1244985949534... Yes, shared by the Prime Minister, number and all. What a time to be alive.
Also interesting about that photo: Five of the 25 have portrait-oriented video feeds. Tbh this may make more sense for this kind of thing (shows more of the person rather than more of the space they're in) but I'm thinking about the hardware—am I correct in inferring that those five are zooming from their mobile? Do high-level UK cabinet ministers not have laptops?
Maybe they didn't get audio to work on their notebooks?

Surely anyone I disagree with should be in jail.
