This is a pretty cool package, if you use #Twig with #PHP and #Xdebug. https://github.com/ajgarlag/AjglBreakpointTwigExtension

@shiflett Happy birthday, Chris!

Good morning, and welcome to Enshittification Tuesday. We've got quite a selection for your perusal today, and shockingly it isn't all related to AI.

We've got:

• Microsoft adds AI spyware at the OS level

• iTerm2 adds AI spyware at the Terminal level

• FireTV interface has been sneakily tweaked to automatically subscribe users to new services when downloading certain apps (yes, there's a confirmation screen, but blink and you'll miss it & might get double-subscribed)

Matt Smith is really great in #HouseOfTheDragon. It helps that he was my favorite Doctor.

I’d love to see a behind-the-scenes or making-of for #LastWeekTonight. How do they put it together in such a tight, well-made package. There don’t appear to be many cuts, and John Oliver’s hand motions and everything is so well-choreographed. Is he really that good, or do they practice this over and over?

The highly pro-inflammatory and pervasive microplastics and nanoplastics: previously found in arteries and associated with increased in heart attacks and strokes, now in all human testes that were assessed.

Why are the bytes output from gpg --export different from those output from gpg-wks-client --install-key, for the same key… yet the fingerprint reported from both is the same?

How can I output the same bytes using just gpg --export? (The latter creates a file in a local openpgpkey directory, and I just want the bytes dumped to stdout instead.)

(Also, the latter generates a much, much smaller file size than the export command, which is why I’d prefer using it.)

@osi I sent an email to the license-discuss list (I’m a member of the list), but I can’t tell whether the list actually got it. It doesn’t show up in the archives (nothing from May is in the archives, but maybe no mail has been sent this month?): https://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-discuss_lists.opensource.org/

Who should I contact to find out if the message was actually received? Maybe there’s moderation happening, and no one has approved it yet?

This past week I had a problem at DayJob that would’ve been easier to solve if we had adopted the use of repositories that create immutable value objects. Since this is a Laravel project, I was overruled. My first implementation ended up being wrong (found out via production testing) and the fix ended up involving Eloquent mutators.

I still think value objects are the better solution but my boss both disagrees and trolls me about it.

It’s interesting to note that many of the AI suggestions for PHP code (in IDEs) use older syntax and practices, such as using a string for the fully-qualified class name, instead of ClassName::class, which is the modern and generally-accepted best practice today.

This year’s WWDC may be the most important for Apple in many years. They haven’t found themselves behind the competition very often in over a decade. However, they are grossly behind with Siri. So far behind that if there is not demonstrable improvement (that is in the realm of magic) they may need to rename their voice assistant in the future and several executive’s jobs could be at risk.

If a program says it wants CUDA 10 can I get away with installing CUDA 12 or does CUDA 10 mean "CUDA 10 exactly"

It's specifically asking for "cudart64_101.dll"

My GPG key expired at 10:10 UTC today, 12 hours after finding out @mwl had all remaining copies of his PGP & GPG book destroyed. If there is a god of encryption, I invoked and angered it yesterday.

I know retro tech is big right now, but I never expected this kind of grassroots anti-TCP campaign!

(Yes, this is a 90s joke that barely 8 of you will get.)

Yeah, I'm tired of the CUV design for everything. The EV Mustang is just a souped up minivan and I hate it. A lot of EVs are designed that way and I think it has to do with the weight of the battery.

Some light reading for this weekend from @cate — my pre-order via Amazon came in (I hope they don’t rip you off on royalties for it Cate!)
