#Drupal#Starshot: We're building a distribution but not calling it a distribution, including initiatives that we were doing anyway, to make it easier for users to do things quickly, but we don't know exactly what those things will be or how they will be implemented, but it can all be done in 8 months, because we are going to solve our governance problems by bypassing our usual governance process.
@phenaproxima I'm cautiously optimistic about all the individual technical and usability aspects of the undertaking.
The part that worries me is that everyone is "full speed ahead" to get things done by the end of the year, before even the most basic questions have been answered about who will be making the decisions on what is actually going to be built.
A client couldn't be dissuaded from adding the #X logo to their website. This is the first time I've had to make the professional decision to flat-out refuse to work on a task and declare myself a conscientious objector.
The #X logo bears way too much resemblance to a #swastika, both in its design and underlying philosophy, and I refuse to be a part of spreading that symbol.
I think a lot about all the Germans who didn't personally commit any atrocities, but were perfectly fine painting swastikas on all the buildings and vehicles around town when instructed by their bosses.
Small but interesting and challenging build with lots of technical pieces, I am enjoying this new theme, it’s very detailed and the base is pretty nice.
I still do not understand why I would ever use #LayoutBuilder in #Drupal10. It seems like a step back to the old days when we were using html tables to lay out a page, rather than starting with semantic structure and then applying styling.
Look at the umami demo: Visually, you can see that these four blocks fit together in a section that contains metadata about the recipe, but there is no way to indicate they are a semantic section and provide an h2 title using the interface.
We have a client site where some crawler bot has been repeatedly coming to the #drupal site for years and trying to access hundreds and hundreds of bad urls. All of the requests from one of their previous episodes caused #pantheon to bump the account up to the next tier, costing the organization hundreds of dollars more a month. Any ideas on how to keep an out of control crawler off of a pantheon site?
@froboy Define "block". I can tell the crawler is this idiot because it has been crawling the same non-existent .html addresses for over five years now, but all I can do it return errors at it which it ignores.

I'm sorry, but method_exists() — a function that you only use to make sure you don't accidentally cause a fatal error if a variable doesn't contain the type of object than you expect — causes a fatal error if you pass it a variable containing a different type of object than you expect?!
I'd normally say "go home PHP, you're drunk", but this is like the opposite situation, where PHP has stopped drinking and is now being insufferable and chiding everyone else for minor mistakes.
@ramsey If you are calling this method_exists, that means that you are already aware that the variable may contain something different than you are expecting, perhaps from code that you did not write. Its one job is to keep there from being fatal errors.
@Are0h@ghostwise My only real point is that in all three endings of the original game, every single mass relay is irrecoverably destroyed and galactic civilization has come to an end because no one can get from any planet to any other ever again (unless they redevelop FTL technology from scratch).
I'm glad they retconned the endings so that in the new version of the game, the relays are merely damaged and civilization can continue (arguably better than before).
