On: Zoom still don't understand GDPR

[brajesh]

MS Teams has the same behaviour in web client. Is it browser-level restriction?

[flancian → brajesh]

Google Meet has tiled view on web.

[boogies → flancian]

(And Jitsi Meet and BigBlueButton, and according to another comment here Discord, and in my limited experience with Cisco WebEX web at least ≤7 people can be simultaneously visible there)

The issue is with the attachments. Any draft with attachment throws an error on auto-save.

I’ve about a dozen Google sites which are just an embedded Google form with a custom script at the back.

I tried the conversion tool on a dummy site and it opened a Google doc. I am not sure how an HTML page with embedded Google form with a script will be converted to new Sites.

If you're comfortable, can you ping me on email at zito@? It's possible the custom script is the issue, but I'd be happy to take a look.

Won't it simply fallback to regular email view on external clients, like outlook's "recall email" function?

[alkonaut → brajesh]

The reasonable implementation would be to not send anything more than a link to a site where the receiver can view the content.

[X-Istence → alkonaut]

Which is exactly what this does... and now I can't search my email for relevant information anymore.

This is a step back.

Are there any similar wrappers around headless Firefox, which has been released recently (Firefox 55)?

Mozilla's documentation (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Headless_mode) is still incomplete.

GST replaces both central and state taxes. States' share is 50% of GST (CGST and SGST). Only alcohol, petroleum and electricity is kept out of GST, which are still taxed at state level.

[ForFreedom → brajesh]

If you see the invoices CGST & SGST is mentioned separately.

[demonshreder → ForFreedom]

True but it is as mentioned above 50% each, eg. Eating out is charged 18% GST, half of which would go to state and the other half to the centre. 9% + 9% of the bill value.

[rtx → ForFreedom]

Just for refrence.

This is probably a "travel ban" by inconvenience, since the earlier bans were stayed in courts
