Ugh, gross, there is now officially a software patent with my name on it.

Who should I donate money to as penance?

Oh gods my boss found out and forwarded the email to the rest of the team, people are congratulating me, uuuuugh. >.<

(To be clear, I did not ASK for this, I helped write a thing and my boss at the time was a very "is this good for the company" type who was really gung-ho about folks getting patents)

@indi Queerest, most transgressive kickstarter game you can find?

@indi Have you looked at ? It should have some good ideas for you.

Best of luck with the fallout 🤗

@indi EFF? They fight those things pretty hard, from what I recall.
