🇺🇦 Anna Filina

Ah yes, the Online Safety Act. Like SovietWomble said: "we're just going to disconnect the internet and float off into the Atlantic". It was a random joke 6 years ago. Now it's slowly becoming a reality.

There we go. 40 years old. I don't feel any different.

🙌 Remembering Ryan Weaver: Teacher, Core Team Member, Friend

Une image astronomique en gros plan montre une zone de l'espace sombre et poussiéreuse, parsemée d'un grand nombre d'étoiles brillantes. Au centre se trouve une nébuleuse, un nuage de gaz et de poussière. Elle est illuminée de l'intérieur, avec une lueur blanche intense qui s'estompe vers l'extérieur pour devenir un gris diffus. La forme du nuage est irrégulière et complexe, avec des zones plus denses et d'autres plus vaporeuses. Des filaments de poussière plus foncée s'étendent depuis le centre. Le champ d'étoiles est très dense, et la plupart des étoiles sont de minuscules points blancs, bien que quelques-unes soient plus grandes et plus lumineuses, créant des pics de diffraction en forme de croix. L'image est dominée par les teintes de noir, de gris et de blanc, avec un contraste élevé entre les étoiles lumineuses et l'obscurité de l'arrière-plan.

Today is Ukraine's Independence Day. If you want to contribute, our volunteer recon team, which keeps the invaders away, needs to repair some vehicles. Slava Ukraini!

This talk is a terrifying dive into how corporate enshittification ("we need an audit trail" anybody?) and the Peter principle are everywhere, punching security holes through the highest levels of a government.

Just a friendly reminder that the correct pronunciation of "The Linux Foundation" is "The Collective Interests of Big Tech"

What's a good solution for a fediverse-driven blog comment section?

I'm thinking disqus, but fedi-driven 🤔

There*

The is no such thing as software that should only last a few years. That was a harmful myth from the start. There's a prototype, and there's software you plan to use, maintain and expand.

They sent me a replacement and now it's also broken after a few months, because the components are still garbage. So if you don't want to create piles of e-waste, buy something more durable. Please post alternatives below.

Don't buy Logitech mice. To please shareholders, they enshittified and switched to ultra-cheap components that break after a few months, causing the device to incorrectly double-click. Enough to drive you mad and ruin your work/gameplay. >>

I had to turn off all capitalization-related autocorrect in Word. It's just incompatible with technical documents. reCAPTCHA is not an accidental caps lock. GChart is not a typo.

Going through a list of PHP dependencies of a legacy project and routinely marking libs as "abandoned in 2008."

You know you're doing legacy archaeology when you download zip copies of code via the wayback machine.

LOL what?! 15K views on a video of one of my talks, as though Nerdearla didn't already have a huge audience.

Here's what I see on the desktop:

Interesting discussion.

If you’re in need of a veteran Symfony dev, ping me! I’ve got someone!

Maybe it's just on the desktop then. Seems to be fine on mobile for me too.

Ok is it just me or Ukraine's flag no longer displays in my profile name? It was fine before. Software is hard.

Ce commentaire n'était ni constructif, ni nécessaire.

They're not quite comparable in that way. Mezzio is minimalist and is meant to not get in the way. Many frameworks today are more opinionated and try to do everything in the framework's own way. I find Mezzio's code to be more testable and portable (not vendor-locked).

Let me know if you want to move to Mezzio. You'll love it!

Laminas Project - Laminas MVC Is Retiring Laminas MVC Is Retiring

I worked with Zend Framework since 2007. It eventually became Laminas. Now it's retiring. It was a fun few decades. Mezzio is so much better though, so I agree with this decision.

- Everything the light touches is our kingdom.

- What about that shadowy place?

- That server still runs PHP 4. You must never go there.

It's hard to believe that PHP is already 30. I've been using it *only* since 2003, which is when much of the legacy I fix today was written.

Today I turn 41.

Cons: have this mean-ass brain tumor
Pros: unlike last year, I’m at home. Also, my MRI from Monday is stable and I watched my baby cousin get married last weekend

Plenty to be grateful for
