Hold up ... read my edit at the bottom.

Hey!

Yeah you, Jitsi!

WTF, people?

Why do I need to sign in with my Google or GitHub account (spoiler: I have neither, and it's gonna stay that way), to use #Jitsi ... which is, at least nominally, a #FOSS service?

This used to be a good project.... What happened?

.....

Edit: Okay, it's not Jitsi, exactly ... it's only the default instance, meet.jit.si which is hosted by Jitsi ... and their explanation is shifty and evasive, but may in fact be some kind of NSL or belated Warrant Canary warning, or something.

All that said, it's hard to find alternate hosts, but I did find this.

Good hunting, people.

#jitsi regala grandi soddisfazioni: stasera riunione di 90 minuti ospitata sul mini pc casalingo con la connessione di casa! (Ps siamo arrivati a 24 container in esecuzione in contemporanea)!

Arrêt de Skype : quelles alternatives ?
Skype va couper, Chérie...

Microsoft annonce1 l'arrêt de Skype en mai 2025. Un outil encore utilisé par grand nombre de personnes, y compris sous "Linux". Mais cela ne doit pas instiller, dans la Cité, de la peur. C'est au

I moved our weekly virtual drinks party from Skype to Jitsi a few weeks ago, after Microsoft fumbled the transition from Skype to #Teams and one of us couldn't join. I'm really impressed by the way Jitsi has come on since I last tried it in 2020: not only is the connection clear and stable, but #Jitsi makes better use of our inadequate bandwidth than #Skype ever did.

Zum Thema Unabhängigkeit von amerikanischen Diensten zeige ich auf welche ich stattdessen nutze.
Viele schon seit etlichen Jahren. Möglichst nachhaltig und Open Source.

Mobilfunk: WEtell
Cloud: Nextcloud
Social Media: Mastodon
Konferenz: Jitsi

Messenger: Matrix & Threema

Working through the suggested alternatives to Zoom, starting with #Jitsi - but it appears to want me to login using Facebook (hahahahaha), Google (hahahahahahahahahahaha) or GitHub. Now, the latter I can do. But I've heard rumblings about that site too.

Why would anyone offering an alternative to Zoom suggest these as the only login methods?

I've been using jitsi.meet as a free non-USA alternative to Zoom, googlemeet, and the truly dire Teams.
It works, noise suppression isn't great and as a host you have to login via a corporate login service like Google or Github (I'm an old git and use that as least worse). But certainly a viable alternative.

Jitsi installieren auf Ubuntu 24.04!

Was ist Jitsi?

Jitsi ist eine Open-Source-Videokonferenzsoftware, die es Benutzern ermöglicht, Videoanrufe und Online-Meetings durchzuführen. Es ist plattformübergreifend und kann auf verschiedenen Betriebssystemen, einschließlich Linux, verwendet werden. Jitsi bietet Funktionen wie Videokonferenzen, Chat-Funktion, Bildschirmfreigabe und legt Wert auf Datenschutz und Sicherheit. Auf Linux kann Jitsi entweder über einen Webbrowser (Jitsi Meet) oder durch die Installation von Jitsi-Desktop-Clients verwendet werden.

Time has passed, and nothing has changed.
I will keep avoiding Jitsi online
