Trump is amazing. He literally destroys anything he touches and still get rewarded for it. Just wow.

Looks like this is it, but it's called "Meet" here:

Can't they invest in standardized SIP solutions? Linphone is already French.

SIP uses different signalling protocols amongst other things than WebRTC, and i imagine browser support is a hard requirement

Every 2-3 years, the French government announces that they released a brand new homemade app that will replace some bigtech because sovereignty or whatever bureaucratic bullshit communication they fancy at the moment. Then they issue a BIG contract to an IT consulting company to develop the thing, who get tons of money to send junior devs to release a buggy tool that no one will ever use because migrations cost a lot. This new app will die like the others.

All this instead of just hiring a few senior devs to contribute to any of the number of existing open source projects that are already infinitely better than any new thing they will come up with.

Next: move away from github, as it's owned by MS
