btrem GWG that was me at the indieweb meetup last night. My macbook is old (2011!), and my internet connection is weak (shared with a neighbor), so I don't turn on my mic or camera. Honestly, even just receiving it is a haul. Sometimes, the audio get scrambled, and the video freezes.
#
GWG btrem: Maxwelljoslyn was curious
#
btrem Yeah, I know. I was afraid of turning on the mic and camera. I think the whole thing would have frozen up. I've been to maybe half a dozen meetups, and it never came up before. I just lurk and listen to what others are working on.

GWG btrem: Next time, just mention in chat if you can.
#
GWG We monitor it
#
btrem GWG: I don't have a chat option. I'm using my browser, not the dedicated zoom app, which I can't get to load the indieweb events.
#
GWG btrem: We use the Indieweb chat...this room.
#
btrem Or maybe the browser does have a chat option and I'm too thick to see it.
#
GWG We disable the built in chat
#
btrem Oh! You use this chat while the zoom is going on? That didn't occur to me.  :/
#
jacky I do think that line in event pages could be bolded a bit more
#
jacky and a note that Zoom chat isn't used
#
jacky is there a template for these events one could edit?
#

#
[tantek] I added it to the wiki
#
[tantek] in that context, does this section resonate for folks? https://indieweb.org/post#Why

#
[schmarty] just a heads up before indienewsing that that post is from 2018
#
[tantek] yeah, that's ok as long as it hasn't been IndieNewsed before IMO
#
[tantek] it reads quite timelessly
#
[schmarty] 👍
