    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.

      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.

      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.

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