# 05:01 epoch why are there so many people using [ and ] around their nicks?
# 05:02 epoch automatic for people using the slack-irc-gateway?
# 06:33 [tantek] Especially since we're about to have a fairly sizable IWC here in Nürnberg. Farther yes, however surges tend to correlate somewhat across cities

# 08:36 [tantek] Makes me think we should create events.indieweb events for both dinner last night and border:none to add photos to!
# 08:37 [tantek] Do folks not at border:none mind if we use this channel for a back channel with observations and such? (To get them logged rather than #indieweb-chat )
# 10:55 [tantek] Not seeing any objections, I'll copy paste a few things from #indieweb-chat
# 10:55 [tantek] First talk: That mobile app car key example was brilliant (adding 9 steps to unlocking your car, as compared to just a physical key)
# 11:33 GWG [tantek]: I'm the only person I've seen with a mask in days. I'm not counting my hygenist yesterday...she always wears one when cleaning.
# 11:35 sknebel hm, I didnt quite consider that while IWC is small, a bunch of attendees of course come from a larger event ...
# 11:36 [tantek] Correct sknebel. A larger event where lots of people have traveled and been exposed to many many others in small spaces like train cars and airplanes
# 11:58 [tantek] [Paul_Robert_Ll] [jeremycherfas] and grabbed sandwiches across the street at the bakery / supermarket
# 12:34 aaronpk I managed to escape Oktane, IIW, and Authenticate without getting sick

# 17:19 gRegor in-person conferences may just be a thing of the past for me at this rate 🫠
# 17:26 [tantek] No one gave me a hard time for wearing my N95 if that helps gRegor
# 17:32 gRegor It's more the psychological and emotional weight, basically having to psych myself up to be spaces like that. It feels really isolating. The "alone in a crowded room" feeling.
# 17:32 gRegor Thankfully I don't think anyone has given me a hard time for masking
# 17:51 [tantek] It's been an interesting exercise in independence and not bowing to implied / perceived social pressure
# 17:51 [tantek] I believe that kind of practice is useful. I think it trains you to be an independent thinker and being more able to act independently too
