@symfonystation i stopped reading at "Upgrades have been painless, for the most part." It is clear this person wasn't doing anything "advanced" like simpleSAMphp for SSO that needed a new release for Symfony 6 or using a CKEditor plugin that had to be rewritten for 5. Version ignorance is still ignorance. Let's say you you own a Jeep and want a 3" lift. If I asked you what year your Jeep was & you said "don't know, doesn't matter", I'd know you were going to pay too much for that lift.
@kreynen I wish links on Kbin that allowed me to choose which image to use as the thumbnail. One of the downsides of using links over articles is the thumbnail comes from the URL. While I can edit the prepopulated title and body, the image just reappears/reattaches when removed.
@kreynen Worth noting that even the 2.x beta documentation recommends avoiding patches autogenerated by PR/MR URLs.
> "The contents of these patches can change by pushing more commits to a pull request or merge request. A malicious user could abuse this behavior to cause you to deploy code that you didn’t mean to deploy."
The recommendation is to download a patch & apply it locally, but I'm guessing we'll see devs continue to add patches in queues & include those URLs
@kreynen if are a #webdev working in higher ed (especially at a top international school) or an agency that works in this space, please help us generate the most accurate statistics possible about #Drupal usage in higher ed.
@ultimike great article. We've been following the GitLab migration closely since our group in the University of Colorado's University Information Services group recently transitioned from a private, internal-only GitLab instance to GitLab SaaS where we can finally do more with GitLab CI. We've always used Pull Mirrors and Pipelines to pull any updates that pass Pantheon's Auto Pilot back into GitLab and deploy our development, but limited in both CI minutes and services we could integration with
@renebakx@kreynen@swentel@rachel_norfolk Fair, but there is a large and active part of the Drupal community working on .edu sites where we ARE aware of the shift from enshittifiable (sp?) platforms to federated. Mastodon links are popping up in site footers like https://www.colorado.edu/lab/medlab/ before we officially support it. Hoping to see more of that as CMS updates include support and people ask where these Xs came from during the "down" time when higher ed content/design refreshes typically happen
@kreynen@rachel_norfolk@swentel According to FediDB, ~47K users on 2,737 WP sites have already published 3mil posts to the fediverse. I can't get over the feeling that the #Drupal community is just watching the type of innovation all our development retooling was intended make easier. Instead of embracing new "off the island" technologies, we're talking about new policies for the Drupal Planet RSS feed aggregation to discourage low quality and/or AI generated content. https://fedidb.org/current-events/wordpress
@symfonystation something #drupal should be doing for site projects. We already have the contrib modules templates and testing in GitLab on https://git.drupalcode.org/. Maintaining a template on gitlab.com would be a natural evolution of that work.
@finagler@talkingdrupal@kreynen The way I explain what is happening with social media is that it is like the early days of email where it required some understanding of SMTP routing to send an email from your company's CC:Mail instance to someone outside the company or from the VIM account provided by your university to a friend at another school. It could be done, but it wasn't intuitive or "mainstream".
