From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How can I use Whatsapp video call on Linux?

I tried Whatsapp-for-Linux and Whatsie but they didn't work.

Yeah, no. That's not how the real world works. It's funny to feel entitled but I can imagine my peers at my previous work saying go fuck myself if I ever told them they had to install whatever-you-say in order to be able to reach to you.

The real world separates personal and work.

It's funny that you see this sort of "entitlement" as a one way street.

Only in my direction it aims to do nothing but preserve both your and your coworkers privacy and security and yours aims to preserve...Meta's profits? What exactly are you defending again?

So weird how that works.

Your form of entitlement involves everyone working around your preferences, and you try to justify it with this weird paternalistic "I know what's best for you" attitude. The higher you go with privacy, the lower the convenience, and at a certain point it goes past the point of what people are realistically prepared to sacrifice.
