Hi, I’m Ry! I fell in love with computers & video games as a kid. I’m a huge Disney fan and love VR, where I often join music raves in VRChat. I’ve co-founded some startups, spent 7 years at Apple, and lately am connecting with amazing folks in the post-COVID community. Let’s see where this goes! 💙

Did the iMessage servers break or something? I didn't even update any devices to iOS 26 / macOS Tahoe and many of them have been signed out and cannot sign back in.

I also keep getting "accountd wants to use confidential information" keychain popups on macOS.

DnB in VRC is in a really special spot right now. So maybe people spent so long growing the DnB scene organically. Introducing people to good quality drum and bass and masterful sets from a lot of super talented people.

At first, building that scene was difficult and stressful.

ohio clean air coalition @ohiocleanair.bsky.social · Dec 31

Why do we provide air purifiers at no cost? Because studies show that the spread of airborne viruses can be significantly reduced through the use of air filtration as a layer of protection in addition to other mitigations such as masking. (1/3)

Black text within a white square on a light blue, pink, and yellow gradient background. Beneath the text are photos of three air purifiers of varying shape, size, and color. "Why do we provide air purifiers?" @ohiocleanaircoalition

Black text, simple digital illustration, and a photo of a cube-shaped black and white air purifier a on a light blue, pink, and yellow gradient background. The digital illustration shows the air purifier intaking air that contains spiked circles representing COVID-19 and blowing out clean air through fans on the top. "The particles can also linger in the air after a person has left the room -- they can remain airborne for hours in some cases. Air purifiers, when used properly, can help to remove these particles from the air before they can accumulate. Source: CDC (n.d.). Taking Steps for Cleaner Air for Respiratory Virus Prevention.

Definitely "picture of me" 😄

Just from my own experience with my friends it seems that most people naturally lean towards describing their avatar and pictures of it as if they are the avatar, especially if they regularly use VR! (as opposed to desktop mode)

Ry ❄️ @ry6000.bsky.social · Dec 3

Definitely gotta be careful with that one 😂

Both my parents are artists, so thankfully they both have their own stash of unfinished projects! 👩‍🎨

Interestingly I’ve found that most normal people don’t put up much of a fuss compared to healthcare workers 🫠

Furnace technician? 😷 ✅
Generator installer? 😷✅
Friend helping with house work? 😷✅

HCW? 😠

Ry ❄️ @ry6000.bsky.social · Dec 2

I think there are also a ton of people who either don’t realize or are in denial that they have it 😞

Was talking about my situation to a friend who brought up that they’ve been “super tired” since they had it “a couple times” but thought they were just out of shape 🥲
