npub1trdnqrfstufc45awha43p6xy2n0v6czuhapzh4r09hap08dg0c6s9gussx (npub1trd…ussx) The single positive thing I can say about Zoom is that at least they let you dial in with a telephone number. So I can fire up my trusty SIP client and join one of those things using my VOIP provider.
Granted, I don’t get video that way. That’s fine; I’m blind, so it is useless to me. I don’t care about outbound video, because frankly, people being able to see me when I cannot see them gives them a sort of power over me. Having no video evens the playing field. It’s the same reason I fell in love with text chat as a teen in 1994 or so.
What’s terribly ironic is that so much of big tech is powered by GNU/Linux. Free software won, even though the corporate crowd rebranded it as open source. But wait! Actually, it didn’t win. They just changed the rules of the game, so that they deal in services rather than software.
