> I think you are in quite a rare position if you have not heard of Zoom but visit sites like this in 2020. I've heard of Zoom. But that doesn't mean I know their entire business strategy especially when it comes to open/closed source software. I've also never had any reason to try it: I don't have any kids (so no school, etc.) and I lived most of my life too poor to afford health insurance, and I'm afraid to leave my house during the pandemic, so I still don't have a family doctor or anything of the sort to talk with. I work from home and use Slack for everything work-related (but Telegram elsewhere because that's where the furries all hang out for reasons I find wholly unsatisfying). > Do you usually not perform a search query before you read a paper? I'm curious: What precisely do you mean by "a search query"? My search queries are usually of the form: site:github.com zoom encryption So if I was supposed to find something more enlightening on the subject, my search habits probably weren't conducive to discovering it.
