🇳🇱 Home from another excellent edition of @dutchphpconference@mastodon.social 🤘 thank you so much for the opportunity to let me speak about PIE 🥧, it is always appreciated! 🥰 #php #phpconference #dpcon2026 #dpc26 #phpc #phpcommunity

I've noticed that unintentionally, the @roave@mastodon.social Discord has become a mini open source hub for several projects (obviously not exclusive), which is super cool to see our little community growing ❤️

If you fancy joining us, please feel free! https://discord.gg/roave

Maintaining open source projects is mostly a thankless task, but very occasionally a very kind soul drops their appreciation and thanks, and it really does make your day 🥰

▶️ Take a moment sometimes to thank the maintainers of open source projects you value!

Very pleased that @firefoxwebdevs@mastodon.social added an AI kill-switch for Firefox 148. Restores a little bit of hope for me in the browser 🥰

It is somewhat reassuring to see, at least some of my fellow industry peers are seeing how atrocious and damaging LLMs are, and that many folks don't just want to let it be ❤️ there is, perhaps, hope for humanity yet.

LLMs are currently doing more harm than good.

If the industry continues down its current trajectory, we're fucked.

That is all.

It's a little frustrating when CFPs you apply for don't respond with even just something quick to say "sorry, you weren't selected". e.g. I've got a lot of trips to organise, and when I apply to speak at a conference, I clear my calendar for that conference, so it's a bit rubbish for submitters to not let them know IMO 🙄
