    You can now join #Zoom calls using #Firefox.

    Well, apparently, you always could, but now audio will work.

    Also, the meeting organizer must click a button to generate a web link or you’ll be taken to a page telling you to install their desktop program or a browser plugin.

    1. You Can Finally Join Zoom Calls in Firefox
      A quirk of Mozilla’s Firefox browser is that it lets you join a Zoom call via the web, no separate app downloaded needed, but you can’t say anything on the call. Or at least, you couldn’t before the latest update.

    #Uber lays off 3700 employees via #Zoom conferencing.

    Is this the equivalent of breaking up via text message? It feels like it, but I do not know how they could have done it better. Did they tell 500-1000 at a time, or sit down and have one-to-one videochats?

    1. Uber uses Zoom to layoff about 3,700 as coronavirus pandemic puts brakes on business
      from Mike Snider
      Uber, which has seen its ride-hailing business drop 80% in the COVID-19 crisis, used Zoom conference calls to lay off 3,700 employees last week.

    While I was on #Wire with #sonTwo and #GS3, some of my siblings had their own videochat on #JitsiMeet with my mom. Apparently, it did not go so well this time, so they went on #Zoom (without my mom).

    One of my brothers sent me an e-mail where he accused me of brainwashing her against Zoom. I sent a long response. It took me a while to write, so hopefully I got past reacting to his accusation.

    I said I don’t know why your camera suddenly didn’t work today. It has worked in all the other videochats. I don’t know why another brother’s microphone didn’t work today. Likewise, it has worked in all the other videochats.

    Kenny called me to ask about #Zoom. He has a relative that got invited to a Zoom conference and asked him for advice.

    Told him to suggest that the meeting needs a password. Also sent him a link to #Jitsi_Meet, in case they want to try that instead.

    Someone recommending the closure of #Keybase accounts and rotating keys, passwords, and anything else that KB has touched.

    I probably have not been as vocal about it, but ever since I personally discovered (very early on in KB's existence) that following their default instructions uploaded your #privkey to their server, I have recommended avoiding them, cancelling any keys used with them, closing any existing KB accounts. I still feel that way ... and tying up with #Zoom is unlikely to improve my opinion of them.

      Keybase, the company that asks you to upload your private keys to their servers, has just been acquired by Zoom, an essentially Chinese company notorious for having terrible concepts on how encryption should be implemented. Even if you gave Keybase the benefit of the doubt beforehand, this is corporate suicide at it's most graphic. Delete your Keybase keys. Close your account. Rotate everything that Keybase touched, be that password or cryptomaterial. https://blog.zoom.us/wordpress/2020/05/07/zoom-acquires-keybase-and-announces-goal-of-developing-the-most-broadly-used-enterprise-end-to-end-encryption-offering/

    #Zoom buys #Keybase as part of its plan to fix its security flaws. https://nu.federati.net/url/268891 [www cnbc com]

    Not sure that buying Keybase, a company that originally uploaded people's #GPG #privkey by default, is going to add any understanding of security at all. I've avoided them since I discovered they were uploading private keys by default (though I've heard they later changed that) because that indicated they did not know what they were doing.

    I am glad that Zoom seems serious about fixing their issues. I just don't think this is advancing toward that goal. Now, instead of one business with severe security issues, they have two businesses which might have such issues.

    USD$7B? Dang. That's a lot. Is it all from his ownership stake in #Zoom? A lot of times, these guys have 2-3 former ventures which they've sold for big bucks before they reach the billionaire level.

    For gentoo I'm just shitposting, even tho it's good to learn.

    >my son is doing tutorials based on some variety of #Ubuntu
    That's good.

    >My co-worker #S is trying to help someone decide whether to allow the doctor to videochat (via a system called "Zoom") instead of a face to face visit.
    That's nightmarish.

    >It seems odd that they could use #Zoom unless they are HIPPA certified. With all the security flaws they seem to be having, and privacy flaws as well,
    It's a very simple problem, if an average joe computer user already has a habit they won't want to change out of convenience except if forced and if that person is demoralized you cannot convince that person even by showing facts that changing to a free/libre software will benefit him. I still try because not everyone responds in the same way but still it is morally depressing.
    I hope that this doctor isn't in either of these cases.

    >I cannot imagine that Zoom is #HIPPA certified.

    S is supposed to call today and let me know what the final decision was on the #Zoom doctor visit. Very glad I'm not the patient ... what do you do when the doctor's office wants to do telemedicine over Zoom, but your friend that works in IT says not to do it?

      Rutabaga, the little laptop with Lubuntu 18.04 LTS on it, will have to have 20.04 LTS installed fresh. According to Lubuntu.me, there have been enough changes over the past two years that a b0rken system would be the result if I upgraded directly. (Going to tell #sonTwo as well, as he installed the same on his wife's old machine.)

    Yet another reason to wonder whether #Zoom’s management is just ignorant about #privacy and #security, or actively malicious. “End to end” encryption has a specific meaning, namely that messages sent from your device are encrypted until they arrive at your recipients’ devices, so that no one in between, including any service providers, can read the message payload. If that is not the case, it is not #E2EE.

    *#Zoom Meetings Do Not Support End-to-End Encryption*

    https://theintercept.com/2020/03/31/zoom-meeting-encryption/

    "… Without end-to-end encryption, Zoom has the technical ability to spy on private video meetings and could be compelled to hand over recordings of meetings to governments or law enforcement in response to legal requests. While other companies like Google, Facebook, and Microsoft publish transparency reports that describe exactly how many government requests for user data they receive from which countries and how many of those they comply with, Zoom does not publish a transparency report. On March 18, human rights group Access Now published an open letter calling on Zoom to release a transparency report to help users understand what the company is doing to protect their data. …"
