I’m interested to know why it’s done like that. It seems awful. Do you have some SCM like git? Do you have restrictions like working for the army? So many questions.
I’m asking because I’ve seen that a lot in the past and it was always due to bad practices that no one wanted or could change.
And if you need anything else, you have to use a new prompt which will generate a brand new application, it’s fun!
That and be dependent on an external server to create accounts. Last time I checked, French cops used a custom Matrix server for their private communications. A friend of mine is a cop and they have professional phones with custom Android ROMs and Matrix is pre-installed. I don’t understand why other countries would rely on Signal (even if I like it and stuff).
Proton lol. Also the only privacy is achieved with OpenPGP but no one uses it.
I only have used privacy-invasive solutions, and I don’t know if there exists an easy way to do that securely.
Discord, Signal, Telegram: forget it, it’s good to send a grocery list to my wife, but that’s it.
Teams: I hate it, it’s resource hungry and I always had issues with it.
I use Google Meet nowadays at my new job and it’s fine. Everything is on the web, no need to install anything. Of course it’s Google and it’s bad, but so far I don’t mind.
I’ve heard about https://jitsi.org/jitsi-meet/ once but I have never tried that.
