@ryanc I have been told I would like Factorio.

I have seen friends loose hours to Factorio.

My wife has all but forbidden me from playing Factorio.

I know I'll probably pick it up at some point, but I am *terrified* at how easily this games pulls people in.

@jerry Agreed.

> I know there are a bunch of people convinced you’re being pursued by these advanced adversaries. I worry about you. For many reasons.

I like to say that if you yourself have the time and energy to directly worry about these sorts of adversaries, odds are good you are *not* their target.

Instructor for an upcoming class provided a remote-shell option for folks who might need it. Gotta love the thinly-veiled threat of not playing nice with storage space. 😆

@ryanc Oh my goodness, I'm cackling right now.

You tossed up the transition options flowchart at 10:05-ish, and I *immediately* recognized it from my research on options.

So, uh, at least I'm looking in the right places? 😆

This #PrideMonth is hitting different. I'm doing a lot more thinking, and planning on doing a lot more changing. In previous years I've always felt outside of Pride celebrations. This year I'm celebrating by becoming who I really want to be.

It's terrifying. I'm the most scared I've been in quite a while. At the same time, I can't keep pretending I'm happy with my body as it currently is.

I don't want to be masc. I don't want to be fem. I just want to be me, whatever that looks like.

I could really use some folks to talk to during this #transition, ideally folks who have been through something similar. Despite the month, it's hard not to feel alone in being #agender wanting to move away from both sides of the gender binary.

@annealytics Thanks so much for the tags!

@GossiTheDog I don't usually name names, but I *do* try to shed light on past employers (or those in similar positions) when they behave(d) poorly.

There's also something to be said for watching a company get worse as you work there for a while. (Boiling a frog, etc.)

Overall, I (and a lot of others, clearly) very much appreciate your candor.

@TechConnectify I like this take. "Don't think it's easy, or that you'll have all the answers out of the gate, but don't let the ambiguity of the problem stop you from having meaningful conversations and making meaningful change."

Which is really just "Don't let perfect be the enemy of good" dressed up a bit, I suppose. 😆

@GossiTheDog Just found that post and am going in. I didn't make nearly enough popcorn for these comments...

@GossiTheDog Holy shit, I can't even begin to understand where that top post was coming from.

"But ransomware creates jobs!" Yeah, so does cancer, my dude. Doesn't mean we should start slapping up asbestos again.
