Corey and Lori are doing a Quest for Glory III livestream in three weeks (May 4th; Star Wars Day!). This was the first VGA game, and already we're hearing why Hero-U should look like this instead of 3D. Nostalgia is lovely.

@SciFiGameDev Interesting idea.

Wouldn't that encourage downvoting mediocre (that doesn't spark enthusiasm or outrage) content to promote excellent content?

That seems like it could create its own problems.

I would be interesteed in your thoughts on something:

Why is unionizing in IT so difficult? What can we do to facilitate it?

@cwebber @sandro I've added some examples; going to take a break, since this is emotionally draining.

There are so many ways to harm complete strangers on the Internet.

My friend @sandro (who also was the W3C staff member on the Social Working Group as it turns out) has put together a chart about "ways to harm people online" (whether you agree all are harms, most are, and all are claimed as such) that I think is really useful: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZQDWwh3J6c_RAVlIAPAKI6eRB4HI7HlrBwAJrP8btkQ/edit

What's interesting is that most of these are about harm caused by *distributing* information.

@cwebber @sandro This is *really* useful and helpful. In particular, column 2 and 3 aggressions can get written off as "socially awkward enthusiastic fan behavior" in isolation, and it helps to categorize why they're different from column 1 aggressions.

This is something I have been working toward, alongside many others, during my entire career at Unity.

It took a lot of "hack weeks," 20% time, and other donated time to get off the ground; it came within a hair's breadth of being terminated multiple times.
We fought to keep it alive, to get it onto the release track, to keep it from being shipped with special license restrictions.

It's great to finally see our work having a public impact.

Yes, sometimes I also like, reshare content about women in tech because guess what, I'm a human being who happens to be a queer woman working in the tech industry and this affects my work and the work of many of us. There's many accounts only tweeting work stuff, follow them
