@uberbrady @thomasfuchs I’ve not done this with Authy, but I can confirm this works for other iOS apps.

Conversations I don’t want to have right now but which are necessary:

“Please tell me about your pet euthanasia services and who you recommend for pet cremation.”

Now that #Mastodon search returns lots of others’ results, allowing for good discoverability, I would love an option to search my own posts, so I can easily find things I posted in the past.

I’m feeling down right now and will probably delete this, but a depression-fueled question is on my mind…

Has the #PHP ecosystem failed its community by not providing new and growing opportunities for careers and advancement with the PHP programming language?

There are a growing number of PHP community folks who speak at PHP conferences and write PHP articles/books but who no longer do PHP as part of their day jobs.

Why is that?

@tchambers @timbray @evan @joemcl @J12t I don’t think post migration would or should work. Tim wrote a blog post about this, which I tend to agree with.

Post migration could only work if each post/object has an ID unique across the Fediverse, which is where Bluesky landed with the AT Protocol, and it’s how they support decoupling profiles/data from the services.

@timbray @tchambers @evan @joemcl @J12t User migration is part of Mastodon, but I don’t think it’s part of ActivityPub.

@u24 @jamalix @b0rk In my experience, it doesn’t always work that way, and sometimes, when I do the rm/add combo, `git status` figures out that I’m actually moving the file and shows it as such, so I’m not sure what’s going on there.

@jamalix @b0rk `git mv` is essentially for renaming a file that’s already in the git repository. It might technically be the same as `git rm old_filename` and `git add new_filename`, but I’m not sure of that.

@Gargron It’s hard to watch TV when you put your tree in front of it.

@frozencanuck @annika @pronskiy @php @thephpf Your server might need to refresh the data from fosstodon.org. I had nothing to do with getting The PHP Foundation verified; that must’ve been @pronskiy. 🙂

@annika Thanks for the PR!

@aral I switched back to 302 because too many of them were failing to redirect.

@aral I recently did this and found that lots of older clients that used my RSS feed wouldn’t follow the 307 redirect because they hadn’t been updated in 10-15 years.

Today, I was cut in layoffs. I’m so gutted because I loved this company, & my team was the best; I’ll miss my team most.

Now, as I look ahead, I’m searching for a staff/principal role where I can help other developers level-up through mentoring, tooling/infra, architecture, & improving DX. I’d love to work with a company contributing to open source & even to the #PHP programming language itself.

If you’d like to work with me, you can find my contact info on my website: https://ben.ramsey.dev

@annika What happened? I’m an admin in that channel?

@dansup How big are the VPSes?

Six weeks to #PHP 8.3!

Are you testing your packages and applications on PHP 8.3 yet?

If you find bugs, open issues here: https://github.com/php/php-src/issues

(If you have links to resources that help show how to test PHP code on 8.3, drop them in the replies, please.)

Everything on social media must be take 100% literally. That’s the rule.

@pluralistic After spending several months on Bluesky and working with the protocol (on building a PHP library for it), I realized it’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Even if/when they do federate, the intent appears to be for large companies to run major portions of the protocol.

And Bluesky just converted to a C corp to take on venture capital.

I deactivated my account last week because I won’t get fooled again.

(I now have that song by The Who stuck in my head.)

@dansup What, praytell, are “salt flakes?”
