@onepict @humanetech@mastodon.social they tried to head hunt me some Years back. It was all very cultish. Fucked that right off.

Work is having a 'booster event' on a couple of days this month. Hopefully I can get my vax booster, as opposed to being sent into space.

@txt_file@chaos.social @_xhr_@mastodon.social We have a natural inclination to challenging things, and it sometimes pays off. Come computing as an appliance is nice, but most of them are shit.
