Meeting hosts can make a setting change that makes that link visible by default, so you don't have to cancel xdg-open twice (only once)

#122I love how when you go to enter a Zoom meeting, they bury the no-install, run-in-browser link in small type in a footer. And then, if you manage to see the link and use the browser, they withhold "Gallery View", forcing you to deal with the extremely annoying "Active Speaker View".
I paste meeting ID (eg 99999) on this address:

It caught me off guard too. The company is UK-based so it's probably a British colloquialism.
When referring to collective nouns for a group of people (like Bands, political parties, etc.), both plural and singular are acceptable to refer to them, depending on what you want to emphasize.
"Korn was a Nu Metal band"
"Korn were made up of musicians of very different backgrounds"

Any company that has an operating entity in an EU country must comply or risk being fined by regulators. If the target is big enough, EU regulators will ask for help from other countries. Zoom operates offices in a few EU countries[0] so they'll definitely have some sort of entity(ies) setup - regulation pressure can be applied. [0] https://zoom.us/contact
You're right, I checked and Zoom does have offices in Paris and Amsterdam. I suppose then they have the choice of doing Google's playbook in China and just close their EU offices if they wanted, instead of complying. I mean, China wanting censorship and EU wanting GDPR aren't any different. Without arguing for or against either, China's censorship and GDPR are both local laws and foreign-based companies with no local…

True, but if you have offices and do business in their jurisdiction, then you get to follow their laws.

#125As an American company, are they subject to GDPR regulations?
They have European users and offices.

I always thought it depends on the call host.

It makes sense for them as a business to convert visitors to users to customers - nothing wrong with that for me.

#128Why do you guys not use https://whereby.com (formerly appear.in), it’s free for 4 people, in-browser only, no-login, WebRTC, allows sharing the screen alongside faces.
But they made the 5+ rooms $9 per month, which is way too expensive. There are not enough competitors for WebRTC conf tools, it should be quite simple and $4-5 a month (WebRTC doesn’t incur data costs on the servers since the data is peer-to-peer).

Same, they were my preferred platform for secure messaging, which is bizarre when you think about the fact that this wasn't even their original purpose. I guess this was indicative of the general lack of a single defined direction the product was going in near the time of the Zoom acquisition. What a shame. Hopefully someone makes something similar.
What was the draw of Keybase? I wasn't interested when it was a "post all your website usernames here, but with crypto somehow" site, and by the time I looked in on it later, it was an unreadable startup homepage and had some kind of cryptocurrency scam attached to it. If it had a good messaging featureset that should be cloned, former Keybase users should speak up!
I use the keybase git repo to store my dotfiles. It's quite nice but I'm moving to my own git server instead.

#130I find the name of the NPS_0487a3ac_throttle cookie suspicious enough, but the article does not comment on it. Is this a common practice? Throttling the website for users who uninstalled your application?
