ace agender autistic dev working on @stardustxr.org, an XR system UI for Linux that'll hopefully make tech more trustworthy, flexible, intuitive, and accessible. Massive Tron fan; totally an ISO. UX Design consultation available, DM me!

we're still alive!!! been working on the design style with gsplats (nebula design) and porting the whole thing to binder so programs can talk to each other :)

Just like last year, we replaced a whole wall of movie posters with our own punny movie posters at the cinema where RustWeek 2026 took place. I designed seven new posters for this year's event. See the thread below 👇

Nine movie posters displayed next to each other.

Remote attestation is a heavily underdiscussed threat to computing freedom. People often mistakenly dismiss it with "I will run my own fork (of the OS or browser) / Magisk", not understanding that with hardware attestation, you're literally unable to 1/

Remote attestation explained with wojaks. A bunch of normies' computers/phones are sending a cryptographic proof that their hardware+software is FAANG-approved and signed. So the cloud service returns the content they're asking for. A fourth wojak is unable to provide such cryptographic proof (because he runs non-FAANG-approved local software), and gets denied access

Apple and Google are gradually expanding their use of hardware-based attestation. They're convincing a growing number of services to adopt it. Google's Play Integrity API and Apple's App Attest API are very similar. Apple brought it to the web via Privacy Pass, which Google intends on doing too.

Introducing bab-hash.org. A cute little website about a family of hashing functions designed for partial data verification in peer-to-peer systems. You can learn what it does, how to use the Rust implementation, and read its specification (with interactive diagrams, ofc).

A screenshot of a portion of bab-hash.org. There is a download window saying “Connection lost. Progress verified and saved”. In two adjacent panels, we see someone annoyed that their phone has lost connection, and a self-satisfied figure who doesn’t mind that the connection was lost at all.

I've noticed that people always care more about a tangible thing than abstract, I don't think it's being dumb or anything but just a thing to account for in design

People be talking about EVs today and that's like my whole thing so here's what I've identified as The Problem: The idea of being inconvenienced AT ALL overrides the average person's ability to consider whether a small inconvenience in one context might be outweighed by upsides in other contexts.

If you want to be a better engineer, you need to take estrogen. Every 10x dev I know is on E. The mass Rust migration? E. Your favorite open source maintainer? On E. The girl using NixOS on a ThinkPad from 2012 who rewrote your entire infra in a weekend? On E. Stay competitive or get left behind.

Whether AI security vectors are hypothetical or just hype, New threats require familiar solutions. Secure your code with Project SugarGlass™

A clean, minimalist SaaS-style infographic in soft blue and white tones. At the top, a translucent cracked cube logo sits above the title “Project SugarGlass™,” with the tagline “Security through sincerity.” beneath it. Below, a large headline reads “Worried about new AI capabilities finding vulnerabilities in your code?” followed by “We ensure they won’t.” The center features five rounded feature cards. The first describes a robots.txt protection layer asking AI not to scan for vulnerabilities. The second, labeled “AI Non-Consent Banner,” shows a bold orange banner with crossed-out “AI” text and a robot icon, and the words “NO AI PERMITTED.” The third is a “Human Authenticity Seal” stating code was plausibly reviewed by humans. The fourth is a “Static Confidence Scanner” requiring developers to rate how secure they feel about their code before deployment. The fifth is a “Bluesky Threat Filter” that blocks @attie.ai. Below the cards is a row of certification-style badges reading “AI-Free Datacenter Certified,” “100% Human-Aligned Security,” and “Ethically Secured™.” At the bottom, small text reads "Because if you don't look at the cracks, they aren't there."

Proud to have had a hand in making this happen. Adding visibility to what is supported in middleware helps move the standard forward and give much needed clarity to developers.

OpenXR@openxr.org · 7mo ago

The Khronos OpenXR Extension Matrix now includes middleware support data from Godot, LÖVR, StereoKit, Unity, and Unreal Engine — so developers can see exactly what's available across the full XR stack. khronos.org/blog/khronos-adds-middleware-insights-to-the-openxr-extension-matrix #OpenXR #XR

The classic Oxygen theme back is (halfway) back on Plasma Tastefully colorful icons, shadows, transparencies and shiny buttons are all part of the spectacular reimagined themes Air and Oxygen being painstakingly reconstructed from scratch by the designers. filipfila.wordpress.com/2026/04/05/h...
