Hi, I'm Derick.

I work on PHP as part of the PHP Foundation.
I am the author of https://phpc.social/@Xdebug.

I like #walking, #languages, #photography, #astronomy, and #space, and will post about these topics alongside #PHP.

Has anyone developed a good system for managing their web usage and hobbies?

I've got this e-ink screen I'm trying to do something with. When I'm working on it I end up with like 10 different tabs open, between docs pages, open source projects, spec sheets, etc. Then I go back to work on Monday and close them all.

It's not that I need to bookmark the relevant sites, it's that I wish I also had some contained browser history just for working on this.

@preinheimer I use different profiles in Firefox. And you can have them open at the same time too. I have one for Presentations for example (clean without history, only for demos and slides), and one for Banking, where I have no extensions installed, besides my "normal" one. You can start the profile editor with "firefox -P".

I think this it for ICQ. I used to remember my ICQ by heart.

@fwaggle @davidbisset I had a six digit one, but lost the password.... And account recovery hadn't been invented yet!

Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 in Windows: flawless. Absolutely perfect.

Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 in macOS: skips around, jumps across the screen while moving slowly, just an absolutely trash experience.

@brunty It's like it's teleporting!

@JamesBaker Is that a good thing, or a bad thing for privacy and digital rights loving people?

The infamous root beer beer, at Shoeless Joe’s, 10 years ago today.

@ramsey @wez Shoeless Joe's lives!

The brewery just north of it is much better though, but closes early.

@ciaran exciting!

I should get used to it but conferences communicating on twitter and not on mastodon depress me. As scholars, we should do better.

derickr,
@derickr@phpc.social avatar

@mxp @yrochat I was happily surprised that the conference I went to recently, was nearly 80% "you can find me on mastodon", and loads of people using the hash tag here, but not on Xitter.

Why, I wonder?

@woody Maybe @Mer__edith knows why Signal would call out to google?

What fresh hell is this, notifications to rate a recommendation engine?!

@david The YouTube app on that OS will cause the same issues... And I'd lose payment support.

@a Our online grocer does offer notifications now. I only want delivery updates. Can't have one without the other. :-/

It just has to survive long enough to bear fruit this time. 😂 Third attempt lucky?

This is such a bullshit anti-pattern.

It's a ducking keyboard app. And it keeps popping up until I pick one. Guilting me into clicking "Yes".

derickr,
@derickr@phpc.social avatar

@elfin What do you use now for keyboard?

derickr,
@derickr@phpc.social avatar

@gpunktschmitz @elfin I use four languages all the time, including ones that needs accented characters (Norwegian and Welsh). Having all four dictionaries working at the same time is really useful.

I have GBoard installed too though, and it's not nearly as handy.

@gpunktschmitz @elfin Funnily, they took the time to reply to my 1 star review.

@derickr @ramsey I get a 500 'generating thumbnail' whenever I try to upload an image attachment 😭 do you know what might be going on here?

@derickr@phpc.social avatar

@ian @ramsey @maccath @GeeH Looks like a bug in identify (https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/issues/6475) that we're hitting.

derickr,
@derickr@phpc.social avatar

@ian @ramsey @maccath @GeeH I've upgraded it, so it should work now! (I did test with Katy's trial image in a private message with just myself).

@maccath @ian @ramsey @GeeH Have some goslings in return.
