I'm sad about not being at #38c3. Not because of regret for not going, not because it's far away, not because it's expensive, or because tickets are hard to get and I didn't get one.

No, my reason for being sad is that it absolutely would have been possible for me to go, if it hadn't been for being socially excluded because orga couldn't be bothered to take even the most minimal air quality and/or public health precautions, turning it from a rare enjoyable social event into a direct risk to my life.
