✍️ I wrote a post about my `git` superpower; being able to visualise git history in the CLI. It's no secret, but is one of my most useful aliases I have! Check it out 👀 https://www.jamestitcumb.com/posts/git-log-graph-history-visualisation #git #gitlog

Discovered today that Gnome 49+ removed X11 and only works with Wayland. Wayland still has a bunch of compatibility issues, so I guess my options are 1) stay on Gnome 48, 2) switch to something else :/ shame there is no choice any more to continue with Gnome. Thoughts?

RE: https://chaos.social/@kore/116922703814159584 I've seen orgs pushing to split off repos left right and centre, and it almost always increases pain in my anecdotal experience 💯

I integrated Webmentions so likes/replies/shares on Mastodon (including this post!) will show as interactions on my blog post; here's how I did it 😀 https://www.jamestitcumb.com/posts/webmentions

I posted a few years ago about `git rebase --onto` and I've lost count of the number of times I've sent this to people, including clients wanting to learn more :) https://www.jamestitcumb.com/posts/git-rebase-protip

Well, I tried to sign up to Claude Code today. Paid first subscription, and 2.5h later my account was suspended without any information 😳 no clue why or what to do, and shortly after had an automated refund issued. Submitted some appeal form, but it does feel as if it goes to /dev/null - I thought AI was the future? 🙄

It was an absolute pleasure to finally fulfil @shochdoerfer NUMBER 1 dream and LIFE GOAL of having me speak at @phpugffm - I spoke about, and we had great conversations, about #PIE - the PHP Installer for Extensions, and a cool new feature idea from @dkreuer that we&#39;ll look into! A great little community, thank you for having me! ❤️ #php #phpc #phpcommunity #communityworks

Finally tore the plaster [band aid] off, and have moved the majority of my email stuff from Google to Fastmail today. Went pretty smoothly! I haven&#39;t found an ideal replacement for Google Tasks yet; as simple as it is, I really liked having tasks inline in my calendar, but @fastmail doesn&#39;t have that.

🥧 PIE 1.4.0 is now released! - experimental executable version of PIE - prompt to install missing system deps - prompt to install missing build tools - support for pre-packaged-binaries where extensions provide them &amp; bunch more fixes, improvements, and more... https://github.com/php/pie/releases/tag/1.4.0 @thephpf #php #phpc #phppie #thephpf

RE: https://phpc.social/@asgrim/116341154169598716 Had a discussion with some friends today about this cognitive dissonance I have with AI. Running AI on local machines only (i.e. no remote LLM usage) somewhat helps the first point; or at least distributes the issue. Maybe that is better? Unsure. But the second point still stands. Could that be overlooked, I wonder? A point was made that shit is stolen all over the place anyway, so morals have kinda gone out the window. I&#39;m so confli...

It frustrates me more and more seeing people I know and respect fall into the AI con. Embracing AI ignores that: - AI is consuming vast amounts of electricity and water - Morally, it was trained on stolen content - It is has destabilised the storage/memory/hardware economy (at least temporarily) Any time anyone celebrates something they made with AI, I cannot help but think of those things, and how it is further plunging us into a terrible future in tech.

Wow, this is pretty damning. I&#39;ve been mulling over ditching GitHub for a while, at least for personal stuff 😳

Hello conference organisers! If you hold a call for papers/speakers, but you don&#39;t send rejection emails to the speakers you didn&#39;t select, please change that, and send rejection emails 🙏 it really helps with planning. This is the second time it&#39;s happened to me in the last few months! #publicspeaking #conferences #speaking

I&#39;ve noticed that unintentionally, the @roave 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 #phpc #php #opensource #oss

@ramsey@phpc.social it sucked lots! Sucked lots of coal fired electricity and precious water 🤣😭

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! #OpenSource #OSS #Positivity #Appreciation #Tech

It&#39;s a little frustrating when CFPs you apply for don&#39;t respond with even just something quick to say &quot;sorry, you weren&#39;t selected&quot;. e.g. I&#39;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&#39;s a bit rubbish for submitters to not let them know IMO 🙄

LLMs are currently doing more harm than good. If the industry continues down its current trajectory, we&#39;re fucked. That is all.
Post #474349
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&#39;t just want to let it be ❤️ there is, perhaps, hope for humanity yet.
