Emil Ivov, you are a scumbag, or "Jitsi vulnerability is a feature"

At Jitsi privacy flaw that enables one-click stealth audio and video capture someone described a vulnerability in Jitsi XMPP client, which allows malicious web sites to turn on background video and audio capture if the visitor has Jitsi installed and allowed it access to cam/mic.

Years ago I blogged about Dr. Emil Ivov and his thuggish attitude, and today it backfired. How many more of the FOSS developers out there are thugs like him? I reckon that quite a few.

I give up

Among Java IDEs Netbeans used to make sense and be reasonable. Not anymore. Its "community" managed to FUBAR it so much that I simply cannot find strength to use it anymore. It used to work in such a way as code editor windows opened on the top, and search/debug/call stack/locals etc. opened at the bottom. Today, code editor windows open at the bottom, in those couple of inches allocated for the rest of panels. Do you, terminally genius FOSS developers, ever test your code? Are you mad? Are you hell-bent on torturing your users into disgust and surrender to give up development? This is probably your goal: that no one but the big 3 IT companies (MS, IBM, Oracle) write any software anymore. I got it, and I give up. F all.
