@Crell@mwop@php_discussions yeah it's had a few dodgy posts recently, if it promoted the Reddit thread it found ahead of the article linked by the thread it would make more sense 🙃
@Skoop It's a far better implementation, in part because it doesn't care what the endpoint is. If I wanted, I could even push to serverless ot web services in another language. But having them as PHP means I also get soooo much more. Let me know if you want to give it a spin!
Great read on how regressives stoke campus protests as a tactic to amplify their own policies and fuel rage against "liberalism" amongst their base, and how academic leadership falls for it again and again.
Our high schools don't use the school bus system, and rely on city buses. However, they've also reduced service. Most kids who ride have a large walk to a stop, and either have to get there absurdly early, or risk not enough space on the buses that get there on time.
And our city is now doing road construction on each of the major roads to the school, AND the one backup route coming from the south.
Upgraded the personal laptop to 24.04 over the weekend. As usual, refreshingly dull and boring upgrade, which I like.
Only issues so far are: a few extensions I rely on (but can work around) are not yet updated to Gnome 46, and there are a couple repos (including hashicorp) not yet updated.
I find as I age that stable, boring tech is my favorite tech.
Hey, #phptek / #phptek24 folks: Raffle drawing for the four small denim elephpants and 4 @zend hats is happening at 1:40pm - that's in 10 minutes! Head over and find out if you won!
Reminder to folks at #phptek#phptek24 - the @zend booth is raffling off the small elephpants and hats at 1:40pm. If you haven't entered yet, stop by before then!
So irritated that #firefox decided NOT to support PWAs on Linux. (Yes, I know about the extension, but it's a PITA to keep up-to-date, and because it uses an ADDITIONAL runtime in the background, it's a waste of system resources.)
I've concluded that the only way to use Outlook consistently on Linux is via the web (love OWL for TB, but invites/events often disappear)... and without reasonable PWA support in FF, I'm having to contemplate returning to a chromium-based browser. 😥
@dgoosens@heiglandreas That looks interesting! Main concern is the "uses OS native web view" - on most Linux systems, it's a version of WebKit that's faaaaar behind most browsers, and can cause compatibility issues. But will definitely keep an eye on it!
@mwop oh man that is frustrating. Yeah, I used to use TB but it was just not working for me with calendar invitations. Ended up abandoning it for Evolution. I still prefer vanilla TB but calendar sync is a must for work. Hope you find a solution
As a kid, I always read the comics page of the newspaper, and this continued until I stopped getting one in the early 00s. Then I started reading webcomics, including some of my favs from the newspaper.
I discovered that For Better or For Worse was re-running from the beginning on the web, with author comments, and I’ve read it every day.

One thing I’d forgotten, until reading Lynn Mead’s commentary this week, was that the story dropped when the OKC bombing happened. I remember the horror of reading that news, the confusion and anger as we, as a nation, dealt with terrorism that ultimately originated I our own borders.
It’s hard to understand the amount of suffering that goes with an event like that.
But the story of a family almost losing their child to tragedy, and the heroic death of their dog? Visceral.
And for me, that’s what helped me understand and process the larger horror.
I always thought of my daily comics as a guilty, juvenile pleasure. But over the years, I’ve come to appreciate good storytelling, and commentary on the human condition.
