Gotomeeting is disgusting

My Order of Engineers – the Italian organisation you must join after passing an exam if you want to practise as an engineer in Italy – organize online courses.

Engineers in Italy must attend at least 20 hours a year on average to maintain membership.

And they foolishly chose to use GoToMeeting. I bear with it grudgingly as I would have rather choised free-as-in-freedom alternatives such BigBlueButton and the like but as long as I can attend using non-proprietary browsers such as Firefox and Brave.

What I cannot tolerate is that you open the link those retarded send you by email and of course you open it some minutes before the start of the event. Then they start the event and you are NOT notified at all. Using the reload button does not start the meeting!

After a while, when the meeting should already be started you re-open the link from the email discovering that the meeting started on-time.

What a stupid and obnoxious behavior!
