What's the generic term for keywords in #PHP like 'static', 'public', 'final', etc?

Thanks to the heroic work by @andy_blum @mglaman, & many others, #Drupal now allows you to control the cloning of starterkit themes through a simple YAML file (prev was PHP)!

This is HUGE for themers who want to use core's new starterkit functionality! https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/3364885

Every year there’s a lot of media attention on how much ad slots during the Super Bowl cost. And it’s wild, but not quite as wild as the teaser commercials are in the conference games TWO WEEKS PRIOR.

My apologies to everyone else on the in-flight wifi.

Fed up with the slow pace of progress in the #Drupal issue queue?

Become a provisional subsystem maintainer and triage some tickets

Hey, #fediverse! I'm looking to make a point - do you know of a government/university/agency/organization that exclusively uses the walled gardens of Facebook or Twitter to share news & info? If so, please share!

For all, please boost for visibility!

Less than 10 minutes into the Republican #Debate and it’s already out of control

#debate highlights so far:

• Christie calls Trump “Donald duck”
• appx 4 minutes of air time wasted with 3 or more talking over each other
• cameraman hangs on candidates after they wrap their statements and attempt to show realistic facial expressions

Watching @uswnt vs The Netherlands had the same feel as KC/BUF/CIN in the AFC championship game or college football rivalry week. Great game @wwc

It's time for all those #openweb people to start leveraging the power they have to defend what they claim to stand for. #Drupal

All I want from the new W3C privacy working group is a web API that handles my cookie preferences so I can stop having to click through dark pattern pop up banners

Following Twitter's lockdown of tweets, a lot of sites have seen their embedded timelines break.

If you're looking for a way to embed mastodon posts, I've just created a new project that lets you embed your timeline of toots.

🪶 It's lightweight (<2kb).
🙈 No tracking of any kind.
💅 Fully style-able with CSS
📦 One simple web component

Feature requests & contributions are welcome!

I’ve written a set of rebuttals to some of Pantheon’s arguments made during their DrupalCon round table.

There's a lot of talk in the #Drupal world recently about the #openweb and frankly I'm not sure I love it.

https://www.drupal.org/open-web-manifesto

IMO, there's too much focus on easy access for all and not enough on meaningful consequences for people & groups that exploit an open web for purposes of hate, exploitation, or abuse.

While that might be beyond Drupal's role in the open web, I think it's important to acknowledge & discuss

Nothing like white-knuckling the mouse and clicking "Deploy" on a friday night before 2 weeks of PTO
