Got laid off from VRC last week. Would appreciate a signal boost. Hoping to find a workplace that is as furry friendly as VRChat was.

About me:
💼 I’m looking for infosec leadership roles.
🌎 I’m open to roles in Ireland.
⭐ I previously worked at VRChat as the lead for security.

If you hear of opportunities that you think are worth looking into please send me a message! 🙏 #FediHire #FediHired #getfedihired

Unfortunately I was impacted by the recent layoffs that happened last week at #VRChat. I have many thoughts about my experience but it can summarized as one of…

@starchild i boosted it. i wish you good luck! also i really do think VRC's kinda fell off. like, the EAC did nothing to stop the crasher bots, and also it's still ridiculously easy to steal someone's avatar. also the idea of removing a community's access to custom accessibility clients was kinda dumb, and put many people off playing VRC after that happened.

@starchild that's just my opinion on VRC, but it's a valid one.

@starchild also i feel like as a multiplayer game where you sit around and talk, and most custom clients are for good rather than evil, anti cheat isn't really worth it. also it's kinda stupid game design that VRC can have clients connect to it that causes the game to remotely crash.

@cardboard ty for the boost. 🙏

As far as EAC I can't say too much. I hired in shortly after it first got released on the platform and so wasn't involved in the decision process to deploy it.

That in mind my team _was_ in charge of maintaining it. Without breaking NDA, I can say that the reasoning was very solid from an infosec perspective, but I was hoping in the long term to move the platform away from a kernel based anti-cheat.

Sadly it's no longer my call to make it happen.

@starchild no problem! also your opinion is fair enough, and i'll accept it.
