Zoom has always been bad on security (& privacy). That's why prefer to use it in the browser when I really have to. Unfortunately they (and Teams) are making this harder and harder.

But are these things a normal user would need to care about? I bet if you created a great git desktop app with outstanding UI it would still have a few corners 99% of users would never touch or understand.

What made Amiga great was all the awesome stuff you could play with once you get tired of playing with the best games ever written. The Workbench 3.0 Utility disk included a copy of MicroEmacs. Decades later still my favourite editor and to
