🚩security alert🚩...the #telehealth / #teleconferencing platform #doxy.me uses the #amazon #aws servers to store all their #data...(of course they say its #encrypted and no video or audio is logged or recorded, buuuut this is #genocide, mass #surveillance, sells data to #dhs and whichever gov dept wants it, amazon, we are talking about here)...so heads up.

from the doxy help articles:

"All doxy.me data are stored within the highly secure Amazon Web Services (AWS) datacenter infrastructure with their industry standard physical controls. The doxy.me support system, help center, and public facing website are independent services to ensure uptime and availability across the platforms. For a list of AWS current security accreditations, see the AWS Compliance Programs page...."

AND...

"We partner with #Stripe to manage payments on doxy.me. Stripe is certified as a PCI Level 1 Service Provider."

...so, watch out.

A new Finnish study shows that fatigue during teleconferencing is caused by boredom, rather than overstimulation.

Finnish study: Boredom a major downside to virtual meetings

Previous studies have assumed that fatigue during teleconferencing is caused by stimulation overload. Fresh Finnish research indicates the reason is actually boredom.

So… silly question for those who do #teleconferencing, etc… working in an open-plan office…

I had a Logitech Zone Wireless… it was great until the microphone failed. I'd like something similar, boom mic (preferably right-side), wireless, BT compatibility (with mSBC wideband HSP). USB dongle is a nice-to-have but not essential.

The first ever video conferencing with jitsi is considered a success. No significant lag or connection weirdness.

Hey #Fediverse #FreeSoftware people, a friend made a great observation: due to #COVID this is a pretty good time to promote #FLOSS teleconferencing / remote work solutions.

So!

Anybody any suggestions for a free software #teleconferencing solution that could handle 10-15 people simultaneously? I had mixed experiences with meet.jit.si. I also know there's @nextcloud Talk app which kinda works, but never got around to testing it more extensively.

"Once #teleconferencing can approximate more of the nuances of being in a room or building with a group or people (Google Huddle's automatic focusing on the speaker in a group chat is a nice example), it will become increasingly possible to run an organization of remotely connected workers."
