Getting back into gamedev after a 10+ year hiatus. Professional data and software geek when employed. Interested in cheering on peoples projects, possibly sharing my own, and talking to human beings!

I'm a married person with cats who is passionate about human welfare, kindness, and conservation. LGBTQIA+ ally. I used to be a scientist but it didn't pay the bills. If you need a geek for a nonprofit or team of nice enough people let me know!

@seanb I guess once you have enough money you get some sort of mental health condition where you are like "sure why not have a plague!" "Perhaps we should rain frogs next quarter? very lucrative maneuver for stake holders"

@derekheld I wonder what would happen if someone posted this speculative information on subreddits or places on the internet known to cater to people with heavy drug addictions. Just a weird hypothetical thought.

@adafruit Leave Adafruit alone!!~! Where else am I going to buy my chippies and doo dads?

I genuinely have no idea what is going on. All I will say is I am so sorry for all the crap AdaFruit and it's employees have gone through over the last few years. Stay strong peoples we love you.

@jrconlin Have you looked into QubesOS?

For me I just run things like firejail, and am very weary of projects dating past 2024.

Next time you hear lawmakers talking about limiting your right to use a VPN, because they want age verification, my colleague Caitlin Vogus and I want you to share this. https://freedom.press/issues/how-journalists-rely-on-vpns-to-protect-press-freedom/
