# [chrisaldrich] What is a hobby?
# 
Loqi Because there is as broad an array of types of websites as there are people, a motivating personal factor for joining the IndieWeb may entail a particular use case one has in mind for what they want to do online or how they'd like to interact with others https://indieweb.org/hobby

# [chrisaldrich] What are cupcakes?
# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "cupcakes" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "cupcakes is ____", a sentence describing the term)

# doosboox [Murray]: Mycelium?
IWSlackGateway joined the channel
# 
[Murray] see https://indieweb.org/mascot but they're the "root" networks of fungi, a fairly niche concept. Except, what with tech companies getting into mycelium printing, NASA ploughing money into it for potentail space uses, _Star Trek_ using it as a centre point of a new series, etc. I just keep seeing it crop up 😄
# doosboox I was wondering if you meant the fungi root system or some new technical thing :D
# doosboox hahaha. "root system"

# doosboox I'm in a meeting with our legal and marketing teams about "personal data" in different contexts. It's a really complex issue.
# doosboox Like, let's say a company has a facebook page and puts out a poll there. Who is the Controller for the resulting data? The answer is that it's both facebook and the company, jointly. Currently this means that EU companies are more or less incapable of communicating with people on facebook, since the Privacy Shield agreement with the US was
# doosboox invalidated last year.
# [Murray] I luckily no longer need to know the nitty gritty of GDPR, but that doesn't feel right to me (and certainly doesn't align with how EU companies are acting). At any rate, wouldn't that only matter if the poll data was PID? And what kind of poll has those results? (might want to move to #indieweb-chat I guess)
# doosboox Depends on what you consider personal data. The fact that you as a user even participates in a survey means an opinion can be tied to you. The GDPR definition of "Personal Data" is a lot broader than the American legal definition of "Personally Identifiable Information"
# doosboox but yeah, this is a discussion that can go on *forever* and is ongoing at several levels of the EU legal system
