📜 I've started a new project — PHP at Thirty.

🥅 The goal is to collect the stories from the PHP Community's foibles over the last 30 years.

🔗 github.com/derickr/php-at-thir…

🥺 I am actively seeking contributions, as I don't know all the stories in detail, and, I can't possibly write them all up myself.

📮 You can also submit them anonymously at form.jotform.com/2506538528480…

If you’re using @protonprivacy services, it may be time to reconsider. It’s official—they are leaving #Mastodon in favor of #SiliconValley’s Big Tech social media platforms.

Rather than nurturing and prioritizing their #community, they’ve chosen to focus on #numbers and #reach. This decision is completely at odds with their #mission. Paradoxically, they position themselves as a company committed to #freesoftware and the community, yet they’re distancing themselves from one of the most iconic spaces of that community: the #fediverse.

This shift is evident in the series of controversial #businessdecisions they’ve made over time—such as the creation of #ProtonWallet, the introduction of #AI, their preference for closed ecosystems, and the failure to prioritize #Linux development.

After #community #protest: #Firefox #update on their "Terms of Use"

Source: blog.mozilla.org/en/products/f…

Our intent was just to be as clear as possible about how we make Firefox work, but in doing so we also created some #confusion and #concern. With that in mind, we’re updating the language to more clearly reflect the limited scope of how #Mozilla interacts with #user #data.

An update on our Terms of Use

We’ve been listening to some of our community’s concerns with parts of the TOU, specifically about licensing. Our intent was just to be as clear as possible about how we make Firefox work, but in doing so we also created some confusion and concern.

And my own thought: if your #FOSS project's #chat is on #Discord , I will not join.
I already know it will get enshittified. I will not give them a phone number, I don't want to get tracked and my data sold as a price of contributing to FOSS.

So yeah, I've been mostly absent from the #bevy #community for that reason.
I hope that changes one day.

🤔 Faktencheck durch Community: Warum das bei Wikipedia klappt – und bei Social Media nicht

Meta und X vertrauen in Zukunft auf Community-Notes statt Faktenchecks. Damit öffnen sie Desinformation Tür und Tor.

Die Wikipedia zeigt, wie verantwortungsvolle Community-Arbeit im Internet gelingt – mit klaren Regeln und einem gemeinsamen Ziel: verlässliches Wissen für alle. 💡

Während Facebook und X Faktenchecks abschaffen, bleibt Wikipedia ein Ort für geprüftes Wissen. Erfahren Sie, warum Wikipedia ein Vorbild im Kampf gegen Desinformation ist.

Looks like #twitch recaps are up. This was my first full year #streaming and I think we did pretty well.

Lots to learn, lots to do, but this has been a crazy fun year! Something that is not reflected here is that we raised over 1.250€ for two charities as well.

Never thought we'd do so well, but dang this growing #community is amazing.

I'm very grateful!

Anyone interested to come along for 2025 and the rest of 2024, let's do it! twitch.tv/imperorthefirst
