All national anthems are technically country music.

I was today old when I learned that hunters in other countries wear orange.

After months of complete "meh, not motivated to code in my spare time" apparently I now have touched half a dozen personal projects in the last 2 weeks, even if just updating dependencies and fixing small bugs. Weird how this comes and goes in waves.

in jesus's time saints would pick a few kind of mid things to be the patron of, mostly because they didn't want to show off or felt shy. this resulted in a lot of guys being the patron saint of stuff like debtors, coroners and nosebleeds. this is pretty feeble but it does leave a lot of the cooler stuff unclaimed, allowing people nowadays to become the patron saint of stuff like lions, punching and ketamine

I think younger software developers don't appreciate how big of a deal #PHP was back in the day — and how important it was for the early mainstream Web.

The early mainstream Web — late 1990s and 2000s — was largely built on PHP — well —

PHP + MySQL + Apache + Linux

What eventually got called "L.A.M.P.".

("L.A.M.P." = Linux + Apache + MySQL + PHP.)

A lot of the explosion of creativity & culture & invention that happened during the early mainstream Web owes thanks to PHP.

[Edit: Since like 5 different people have asked me: the instance is types.pl.]

[Update 2: This thread from a/the admin of types.pl is prescient and also…interesting:

mastodon.social/@ionchy@types. ]

Truly the most Mastodon moment: Talia Ringer got her account suspended on the server she was using because… she… interviewed for a job at the NSA 13 years ago. That's it, that's the whole reason. Details: twitter.com/TaliaRinger/status

Every time someone linked me a recent-ish tweet and I clicked on it, I could view it but if I clicked on the person's profile (i.e. .com/NAME) that new tweet was not visible in the timeline. Not sure if I'm missing something or they completely broke that. And if so, only for logged out users? Not seeing tweets without login was actually better, so less people bothered to link them.
