I wrote a little article on the exciting new Godot and iOS interoperability, it's kinda crazy how easy it is to marry the two now christianselig.com/2025/05/god

Embedding Godot games in iOS apps is easy now

Recently there’s been very exciting developments in the Godot game engine, that have allowed really easy and powerful integration into an existing normal iOS or Mac app. I couldn’t find a lot of documentation or discussion about this, so I wanted to shine some light on why this is so cool, and how easy it is to do! What’s Godot? For the uninitiated, Godot is an engine for building games, other common ones you might know of are Unity and Unreal Engine.

With Mozilla shutting down Pocket, folks are calling for open-sourcing it. There's this “pocket-monorepo” project which seems to contain the majority of server code? github.com/Pocket/pocket-monor

Some parts are missing, notably the parser, but I've found it useful for reverse engineering their GraphQL API, particularly the public API proxy.
Anyone can confirm what else is missing?

By the way, I've added syntax highlighting to the Hollo development version. Here's an example:

def main():
    print("Hello, world!")

It's powered by Shiki, which supports hundreds of programming languages! This feature will be shipped with Hollo 0.6.0, the next minor release.

It would be nice to have syntax highlighting in Markdown code blocks.

I’ve potentially got a paid role available for OSS development going at the moment.

Looking for someone who’s a good communicator, is design smart, and has a decent set of all round dev skills.

Give me a nudge maybe.

🧵 In 2023, US gov asked for public comment on employer surveillance. I filed a formal comment abt my experience at Apple. I just discovered a 2024 GAO report to Congress that includes my input — including Apple firing me after I raised privacy concerns.

The White House OSTP RFI was titled “Automated Worker Surveillance and Management.”

It asked workers to share how companies were using tools like biometrics, facial recognition, and employee monitoring software. ⬇️

Office of Science and Technology Policy AGENCY: Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP). ACTION: Notice of request for information (RFI). SUMMARY: Employers are increasingly using automated systems to monitor, manage, and evaluate their workers. These systems may allow employers to manage supply chains, improve health and safety, or make other informed business decisions. At the same time, applications of surveillance and monitoring systems can also pose risks to workers, including to their health and safety, equal employment opportunities, privacy, ability to meet critical needs, access to workplace accommodations, and exercise of workplace and labor rights, including their rights to form or join a labor union. The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) seeks comments from the public to better understand automated surveillance and management of workers, including its prevalence, purposes, deployment, and impacts, as well as opportunities for Federal agencies to work with employers, workers, and other stakeholders to ensure that these systems do not undermine workers' rights, opportunities, access, health, or safety.

The Political Ecology of the Repair Manual

On the plural meanings of repair in architecture, landscape, and urban design, as climate change compels a shift from “building the world” to repairing it. There is no instruction book for what comes next.

I want to look at the repair manual itself. I’m especially interested in manuals that perform a kind of “infrastructural inversion,” calling attention to the techno-social systems that underlie our gadgets and appliances.

An amusingly illustrated guide to How to Fix the LF (Low-Flow? Less-filling?*) Error on your Whirlpool Duet Front-loader Washer The text is arranged in a circular pattern around a hand-drawn image of a washing machine, in a 3D exploded engineering view. Arrows guide the reader through the steps to follow. *This error code is an indicator that not Enuff H2O is flowing into your washer. Here are a few things to check. -> Unhook power + hoses. Test H2O pressure from wall. Top panel removed 3 hex screws. Everyone tells you to check these first: WATER INLET VALVES 1. Unclip wires 2. Disconnect tubes 3. Unhook from Washer 4. Remove and clean Li'l Mesh filter (mine was crusty) WE'RE OUT OF CLEAN UNDERWEAR 5. Reassemble + Reconnect inlet valves. DID THIS FIX the LF ERROR? IT DIDN'T FOR ME! Next try the DRAIN FILTER. Mine was super gross Cleaned it out real good (ugh). But that still didn't fix the LF ERROR! AAAH! A SPIDER!!!! OH, JUST SPIDER RING The 3rd thing to check is the black hose that runs from the top of the machine. WATER PRESSURE HOSE SENSOR! REPLACE IT!!!

Here's my again, but public this time, for <3

First photo is 2005/2006 and roughly five years pre-egg-cracking.

Second photo is 2014, four years post-egg-cracking, I am wearing a binder.

Third photo is 2018, one year of testosterone. Had started to go about without binding but not many people noticed. Hairline changes. Some facial hair.

Fourth photo is from this morning, 2025, eight years on T. I don't wear makeup as often anymore but might do myself up for Pride this year. I am a bear, fat, very furry, and bald. I had non-flat top surgery last year and still do not bind. My beard is very full. I wear skirts and feminine hats and lots of queer pins and paint my nails.

Lots of eye contact.

A photo of a pale skinned feminine looking person with very long dark red hair down past their breasts, wearing a red halter top, a black collar, a black necklace, and dark eye makeup. They are looking sultry at the camera.A photo of a pale skinned person dressed in a very alternative style. They appear androgynous with feminine influences. Black and dark green clothing, silvery and metal accessories, a black spiked collar, with short hair that is longer on top and hanging past their chin, the long part dyed purple and green. They wear dark eye makeup and lipstick, and dark thickly-framed rectangular glasses. They appear to be flat chested, and are looking at the camera with a neutral expression.A photo of a pale skinned person, fairly androgynous with both feminine and masculine influences. Their hairline is starting to recede a bit at the sides of the forehead. Their hair is quite short, a bit longer on top falling over on top of their forehead, the top part is blonde and the rest is dark. They are wearing darker brown makeup that is more subtle than the makeup in previous photos. They have a silvery captive bead septum ring in their nose. Their glasses are still darker framed and rectangular but the frames are thinner and metal. They are wearing a white t-shirt and a black button-up overtop that is open down the front. They have slightly pursed lips and are looking at the camera with a fairly neutral expression.A photo of a pale skinned person, fairly masculine in presentation. Their shirt is a short-sleeved button up in brown with colourful butterflies and plants printed all over it, softening the masculinity a bit. They are quite bald with very short fuzzy dark hair on the sides of their head. They have a fairly thick dark brown beard and a blonde moustache. Their glasses are large and somewhat rounded square/rectangles with thin dark frames over the top halves. They have a black captive bead septum ring in their nose and some black spiral earrings. A bit of their upper chest is visible and it's covered in plenty of dark body hair. They are smiling at the camera.

A HARRY POTTER FAN'S GUIDE TO NAVIGATING PRIDE MONTH

  • STOP reading the books

  • STOP watching the movies

  • STOP buying the merch

  • STOP playing the games

  • STOP fucking talking about it

  • STOP engaging with this franchise altogether

  • PERMANENTLY

every dollar and every moment you spend towards the harry potter fandom gives it and by extension transphobia space in our cultural consciousness and harms trans people directly

KNOCK IT THE FUCK OFF

J.K. Rowling uses Harry Potter wealth to fund anti-transgender organization

This is where "Harry Potter" profits are going.
