04.08.2025 07:38 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0The Online Safety Act (law passed in UK in 2023) has come into effect, requiring "adult content" to be age gated. Notably, pornographic websites, but also affecting other things like Bluesky DMs, Discord ("18+" channels), Reddit, and other things. Next up: UK gov want a backdoor in encryption 🤣😭

The Online Safety Act is terrible for privacy. This is not just about pornography, it has wide over-reach into all our digital lives. It is authoritarian, and literally embodies parts of an Orwellian 1984 - except this is reality, not just a dystopian novel.

Yeah I only use `T|null` (never `?T`), but `null|T` is a bit weird IMO; reads better to have the happy path (T) before the unhappy path (null)

UK folks should sign this petition (which I know never makes a difference, because why would the government actually listen to people?) but worth a shot. Starting to see effects of this roll out and it's making me angry 🙄

18.07.2025 06:54 — 👍 1 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0🥧 I've been a little quiet recently, been working on a new feature to make some of the "bundled" PHP exts available in PIE. The POC is working, but needs polishing. There are potential pitfalls though, such as extensions getting out of sync with your PHP version! #phppie #thephpfoundation #pie #phpc

php 8.5 surprised me – the pipe operator is cool, but there’s also closures in constant expressions, the nodiscard attribute, –ini=diff, and more.
php internals are cooking, and the php foundation is doing some solid work.

A selfie of me, to the left, with a Framework laptop with the Windows XP "Bliss" background on my lap. Behind and centre frame is the stage at the Shaw Theatre, with the Laravel Live conference branding displayed on a large projection screen, with a list of the conference sponsors either side. There is a lectern on the stage, behind which Jon the conference organiser is stood, about to make the welcome address.
