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 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 of
sway fame. I've chatted (via xmpp
) with Christopher
Lemmer Webber of
ActivityPub and Media
Goblin fame. These people are really approachable,
and you can learn a lot from them.
