It is not misconduct to unionize, and I hope that Rockstar and Take-Two face serious legal challenges for what seems to be a very clear-cut case of union-busting.

This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity.

We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.

I’m taking a little time to rewrite an old project in SwiftUI. It was an Objective C project and I’ve updated for Swift in the past, but doing this transition is hugely quicker - thanks to AI and (both UIKit and SwiftUI) previews.

24 hours child free so obviously I wake myself up at half 6, to keep the tradition up.

Slowly unpicking the bad habits I taught myself on guitar. Currently reshaping power chords and have completely lost the ability to play anything 🫠
