[Al_Abut] And I still can’t believe that [dshanske] is hiding code words in the license plate of my new car, that’s some magical hacking skills right there.

# osteophage [tantek]: An alias in the general sense?
# osteophage.neocities.org edited /Pillowfort (+1462) "moved blogposts up out of See Also, created Blogposts section with more links, added wiki links for comments and chronological feed, and added release date for premium features" (view diff)
# 
[tantek] in the here in chat sense, and as described in the page https://indieweb.org/alias
# [tantek] once clue is if someone hasn't added themselves to /chat-names or defined a chatname Template: for themselves then I figured they didn't want to be listed
# osteophage Sounds like a good idea.

[artlung] Well, in my case "artlung" was the handle I chose as username when I had the capability to choose a moniker on whatever system I was on. It was also the root name of the first domain name I "bought" to use. I think of it as "username" and not "alias" or "nickname" or "nick" but different people might use them as synonyms. And because they use them as synonyms, they are, despite the nuances.
# Loqi Pseudonymity is the concept of having an anonymous identity that is the same across multiple sessions or websites https://indieweb.org/pseudonymous
# Loqi nymwars is the name for the assumption, made by Facebook and Google+ that enforcing "real names" improves a social website; this was opposed by many people who have very good reasons for pseudonymity or anonymity https://indieweb.org/nymwars
# [tantek] [artlung] if I made a mistake by adding you to the /alias examples, happy to remove (or feel free to). I was going by remembering you saying in several Zooms (HWC or other?) that you will respond to / don't mind being called by that alternative name, which seemed to fit the meaning of an "alias" in addition to username / domain

# [Al_Abut] [tantek] good for you! You're making me reflect a bit on my own personal triggers for reactivity and whether I can sublimate those instincts elsewhere in 2026.
# [Al_Abut] The answer is probably to blog more
# [Al_Abut] Debate on socials and slack less

# [artlung] [aciccarello] there's a "Schedule a Zoom Meeting" button on every event under http://events.indieweb.org you can select. and then, to start it, a person with access to the indieweb zoom via 1Password can start it. Or you can request access as a user of the group 1Password from aaronpk.
# [aciccarello] Okay, is someone with access able to join at noon eastern tomorrow?
# [aciccarello] Great! Thanks artlung!
