Emacsconf 2021 bail #emacs

🕘︎ - 2021-11-27

This weekend EmacsConf 2021 is held - as the previous years it is completely online.

I followed the conference in 2019 and 2020, and started watching again this year, as well as following along on the IRC channel #emacsconf on the libera.chat network.

The previous years I have felt a disconnect, and it's no different this year. The talks I find less interesting or engaging are the ones that people are waxing most enthusiastically about in the channel.

I think it's great that the conference exists and that people spend a lot of time an effort on it - however I'm bailing out this year - it's just not my thing, however much I like Emacs. It's not you, it's me, I'm sure.

I have chosen to use a more old school method of spam prevention.
