I'd really like to see the conferencing apps add a feature that when you're sharing a window, there's a little token that appears on the window, and you can drag that token to another window to switch sharing to that window.

I run my display at 1800p which means if I share my screen (ignoring issues about that), it makes it unreadable for most people, so I only share a window.

@cliffle
They could do what signal does which is hash what has been sent and received so far and integrate that into the resulting session key. That way if someone replaces a public key, the otherside would end up with the wrong key.

I mean, they are a signal replacement so they're doing this, right? Right?

Part of the reason C code is so buggy is that it's so difficult to write test code for C programs.

Difficult to mock out functions. Difficult to only compile/include the parts of a unit that you want to test.
Difficult to deal with crashes in the test code (e.g. segfaults have to be thrown into a debugger to know where they happened).
