I think it possible is non-visibility of anything physical. So on a phone call, it is as if the phone is acting as an intermediary and introducing a third party, that is you.

I believe “this is Amit” will sound equally absurd on a video call? Because my visibility makes me the first party?

@aaronpk My theory: saying “this is x” on the phone, is a way to link the voice speaking to the name/person. “This voice you hear is x”. In person, they see your face talking, so saying “I’m x” is linking your face to your name more than your voice to your name, so expanding the phone phrase in person to “this face is x” is why it sounds weird.

@aaronpk Lulu?

@aaronpk I don’t, but i am so curious, what are you trying to make?

@aaronpk any plans/wished to add AP federation to Meetable?

@aaronpk @darius have you seen this?

I just deleted my last #Linode VPS. I've had at least one Linode continuously since August 2008.

Had a peek to see if I earned the 30-day photoblog pin, but not yet. Apparently I didn’t post a photo on Jan. 31, so my streak is at 29 days.

Day 30 is next, the last day of the challenge. The prompt is “vision.” Good luck! 📷 📌 😇
