@Crell @derickr @mwop are there enough people that want to make this or these improvements that they could, idk, override the majority and just do it?

@kboyd I can relate too hard with this sentiment

There are times, like tonight, where I feel as if I was born into the wrong time. I don’t mean the past, that place fucking sucked. Just, further in the future.

@ross I have strong interest in how this could be built/implemented. Almost feels like the next step from using a simple SQLite database for small projects/apps

in reply to @ross

Being alone isn’t that bad, it’s when I feel safest. But learning the difference between alone and lonely over the last couple years hasn’t been the most enjoyable

@ramsey @grmpyprogrammer I used to do sing part of this during standups on Fridays. Everyone totally loved it (not)

in reply to @ramsey

I’m not sure if it’s the right move, but unless I know someone and their orientation I’ve started referring to everyone as they/them.

It feels like I’m being lazy or something at times, but it’s the approach that makes sense to avoid unintentionally misgendering someone. Once I know you and what you prefer I use those, but otherwise it seems like the best approach? I don’t know.

Now if I could train sir and ma’am out of my vocabulary that’d help

@saramg new way to say happy birthday just dropped, alerting the presses

in reply to @saramg

I feel like I need to be or was supposed to be or something productive today. That feeling is making relaxing and decompressing not easy. I wish I could figure out what’s gnawing at the back of my mind

@taylor_atx scheduled a Kroger delivery because… I don’t wanna lol

in reply to @taylor_atx

@outofcontrol clearly I’m behind on my email/newsletters lol. But I think this would be a great idea. Curious what Taylor thinks (who is also unfortunately not posting here yet)

The Republican Party has “radicalized” me to the point where I’ve debated and started thinking of ways, even if illegal and through the dark web to start stockpiling abortion medication so that women can actually have their bodily autonomy.

Not sure if that’s their intentions, as the so called party of “law and order.” But it’s where I’m at.

I really need to find the “auntie networks” as my friend calls them in Texas. They’ll know what to do with my money.

Twitter used to be a good place to find those resources, and then an actual psychopath happened to the service.

That and unfortunately in this country cops deliberately target those that share such information, and judges will side with them 24/7/365.

Ya know, like a totally well structured and totally not shit society

The more I see what other countries do for their citizens with less wealth than America, the more it solidifies my belief: The USA is a broken country.

What’s worse is that what’s broken many find to be a feature

@heiglandreas I wish I knew why it became so complicated. I know the neurodivergent brain isn’t exactly “helping” me, but the whole culture and games around dating are… frustrating.

in reply to @heiglandreas

There’s an AI like wingman tool for dating named Fonzie (lol). It has a bio improvement feature. Which basically starts off by roasting the ever living hell out of it, and then you gotta pay to have it improve it. It’s the first time I’ve seen a per week payment period, but kinda makes sense in my mind for dating apps?

Needless to say, trying to get all the things “right” so that maybe dating apps will work and I’ll meet people and go on dates, fall in love, etc. is off to a great start for me

@derickr That makes sense, sorry if that was documented somewhere I missed. Sounds like we'd be looking at a PHP 9 before we got that functionality, or at least a major version break

in reply to @derickr

I’m not as close to internals, though I’m interested in it someday. Has the discussion been had about supporting UnitEnum or BackedEnum has an array key in future versions? Are there reasons I’m missing why not supporting that and “forcing” WeakMap or SplObjectStorage is the better approach?

@grmpyprogrammer at least $7?

in reply to @grmpyprogrammer

@ian I feel ya, and think the same is in store for me. Just more the magic and excitement doesn’t seem to be there at the moment
