HN Discussion:
  • ↑Zoom has a history of abusing privileges and cannot be trusted
  • ↑Use the browser-based version instead of installing the desktop client
  • ↑Zoom is outright malware that harms Linux users
  • ~This clipboard behavior is rude but technically allowed by X11, which is why Wayland exists
  • •Curiosity about tooling mentioned in the article, unrelated to Zoom criticism
