summary: Network with People You Want be Like
---

So this evening, I went and I chatted with some cool dudes in the libre hardware
space.  They were super approachable on the meet.jit.si.  I had some weird
hardware errors, so I had to use the jitsi `SIP` backend to chat with my
[jmp](https://jmp.chat) account.  Then I was also in the meeting with a muted
jitsi account.  It was very odd.

But I learned that `Firefox` doesn't properly support `WebRTC,` so I had to use
`ungoogled-chromium` to connect to the channel.  I also learned that the lynx
browser, which is a terminal based browser, is great for testing accessibility
issues with websites.  And I got some homework: learn assembly!

Anyway, if you have software people that you would like to network with, email
them.  I've emailed [Drew Devault](https://drewdevault.com/) of
[sway](https://swaywm.org/) fame.  I've chatted (via `xmpp`) with [Christopher
Lemmer Webber](http://dustycloud.org/) of
[ActivityPub](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/) and [Media
Goblin](https://mediagoblin.org/) fame.  These people are really approachable,
and you can learn a lot from them.
