Protections are nice but I and lots of people might be willing to forgo them for sufficient other advantages such as speed or cost. But these are hard to come by now and about to become even harder.

The FedNow service is in trials now and expected to go live in mid-2023 providing real time settlements 24/7/365 at a projected cost of $0.05 per transaction using real world currency. Show me a crypto solution that can approach this and offer a fuctional currency at the end.

As far as I can see, it's game over for crypto in terms of legal, real world transactions.
"Our web experience is so poor even aggressive nagging about a useless chatbot isn't going to make using this site feel substantially worse. Welcome."
I cant overstate how important sane defaults are for tools. most average integrator will leave options enabled that tools have to show all their features and get exposure. this is extremely relevant for playing toxic welcome sounds and showing nag messages as well as marketing triggers to offer something. Unfortunately tools like intercom have these features to be able to sell to marketing departments and they also want to get exposure to their customers users otherwise they would hide these features behind giant warning messages that these features will upset users if used inappropriately. on the other hand if a discrete chat button is easy to find without sounds and without nag and obstructing other UI this is a godsend to quickly resolve issues without having to deal with entering email adresses, navigating support forms and finding the help on the buttom of some menu or faq.
So a curtesy flush on these toilets seems quite disgusting now.
I think GP was not talking about PHP ecosystem in general but about Wordpress ecosystem in particular. And I largely support this claim.
The book 'Digital Minimalism' by Cal Newport expands on your reasoning. It mentions that social media, although convenient, severely impact your social life (in a negative way).

Us humans have been developing an immensely complex social system for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, and this simply can't (and shouldn't) be replaced by Facebook, Instagram, etc.
This is conjectural, bordering on paranoid. It could happen, but you present no evidence that it will, or even that the effort to make it so is deliberate and coordinated.

Networks exist (and have always existed) globally that operate using parallel, incompatible protocols from layer 1 to layer 3. None of this is new, and none of it should be a surprise.
The outrage all stems from a lack of awareness of history and increased visibility from armchair experts that fixate on how things work for them, and not from the long-term perspective or the point of view of a large provider, global network, or resource of significant scale / size.
IPv4 is the poster child for the sunk cost fallacy; it is an outdated shit pile that has become the outdated shit pile we know, and therefor somehow the option that needs extended in perpetuity.
"Good Enough" is subjective. A bicycle is "good enough" for moving a person from point A to point B over short distances. It's not good enough when it is below freezing, raining, or needs to transport large cargo. It's not good enough when there are 3 people that need to travel from point A to point B and there is only one bicycle. A car may be good enough for that. But a car isn't good enough when part of that trip spans an ocean. The fact that a person thinks IPv6 is a stupid idea and that extending or making compatible the pant load of diarrhea that is IPv4 is "good enough" is fine for that one person, or even a group of persons.
However, it does not scale globally, and it provides no supportable longevity. Even with the release of every single extra block of IPv4 - 240, 127, all of the unused or dark /8 addresses, 0.0.0.0, 255, and even with the proliferation of carrier NAT - it is still too limited to scale long term or introduces blindingly unnecessary complexity.
There is already significant IPv6 deployment globally, and it has grown by a large margin in the last 3 years, prior posts have clearly shown that. As far as IPv4, The goal was never to turn it off like a light switch, it has always been to phase it out, and by and large that has been happening at a fairly accelerated rate.

If we spend half as much time on IPv6 that we do moaning about IPv6, we would have been done with this a decade ago. The point is that IPv4 is functionally legacy. It'll continue to exist until it doesn't, but refusal to learn and implement IPv6 (and contribute to improving it) is truly a disservice. It's well past the point of no return, so learn it. Or don't. It won't really change the direction we are moving.
Ah ok, so Australia, UK, Spain, Italy, Poland.

> but that’s a liability issue the OP neatly skirted past.

I think this is the actual root of the issue right here. 40 years ago this "liability" thing was vaguely talked about and rarely, if ever, enforced. Everywhere in society - from letting a kid hop on a construction site and help out for cash, down to not allowing retail employees to interfere with shoplifters. Things continue to get more and more useless as we amp up this ridiculous concept.

The "liability" gremlin has more to do with this massive loss in social interaction than anything other than suburban style living and the Internet in my mind.

heh, I just finished reading "In Praise of Shadows" the other day and this same idea has been floating around my head for a while now.

My take is take any kind of technological advancement comes with trade-offs. In the book I mentioned, the author talks about a traditional Japanese toilet and how the way it is designed lets the light come in just the right way that it makes for some interesting shadows on the walls. The traditional toilet is not as clean as a modern toilet and inconvenient, especially in the winter, but its white and sterile tiles miss out on the beauty of the traditional wooden toilets.

That book was written 90 years ago, so it's pretty obvious this is not a new feeling.

I myself still buy The Economist in print, every Sunday morning at my local convenience store. My girlfriend always makes fun of me for doing so. She says I should just get a subscription. It would be cheaper and more convenient to do that, but I would miss out on other things I truly enjoy: I wake up early on Sundays and go for a walk at a nearby park. I get to see some dogs playing around, squirrels carrying nuts as they make their way up the trees, etc. I then walk over to the convenience store where I greet the cashier (which at this point is as used to my routine as I am) and we exchange some banter as I order "the usual" and then head home.

I have the similar relationship with the girl at a coffee shop near my house, where I always stop at around the same time. She sees me come to the door and laughs as she looks at me and asks "The usual?" and I laugh back and say "yeah, double espresso again". I could easily make that espresso at home, but I get value from my walk to the coffee shop and from chit-chatting with the people working there. I also sometimes get a free chocolate which is always a nice bonus :)

None of these things are convenient but I derive value from them. Technology will always advance and bring trade-offs with it. It's up to you to choose what you make use of.
Actually, how does this compare to, for example, architects? They must at least sometimes keep the ability to show off their designs, to build up their portfolios, right?

> And I sent them a reply basically saying, Can you just treat me fairly? Do what you think is fair under these circumstances. And we’ll work something out.

What's constantly frustrating reading this sort of thing is that wanting a certain amount for work you chose to do is capitalism.

It's not the state telling you what to do and giving you an allocated house, or a lord letting you work his land, or anything like that. It's individuals and groups forming agreements that, as much as is possible, are just between them.

The problem with "fair" is it implies there's an absolute standard, and it happens to be what you want to get, not what they want to give. There's no standard, other than what minimum wage sets for salaried workers. There's just agreements.
I can strongly relate to the "less satisfying" part, but not to the "more convenient" part. Many things are instead getting more broken, unusable, and generally mildly infuriating.

Call any support line, get a robot suggesting you chat with another robot over some messenger app. Both the voice-call robot and the chat robot proceed to bombard you with ads. Not very convenient, that.

Even the stuff that was digital to begin with constantly degrades in quality. Certain apps on my Windows 10 box decide to autostart and can't be uninstalled (by conventional means, anyway), the latest example being "Xbox toolbar" or something to that effect. Published by Microsoft, wanted by absolutely nobody, not on this machine anyway.
If a child isn't exploited to make it, it's not technically CSAM.

Apache doesn’t need to be in the loop. You can run php-fpm directly behind a load balancer that supports fastcgi, like haproxy. And for depvelopment you can simply use the built in server.
Ironically, this itself reads like a translation. I don't feel like most native English speakers would express this so elaborately or with so many phrases interjected with commas.

I am utmostly certain that such phrases, that mark the writing as a refined specimen, go by a proper name of their own. I write at great remove from my most recent grammar lessons, and so their name does not fall easily to hand at this time.

Your comment suggests ignorance on three fronts. First, you're suggesting that because Wayland is a "super-process" of Xorg, it has no value or purpose. This is not accurate, as Wayland may offer certain advantages over Xorg, such as improved performance or greater security.
Second, you're implying that because Wayland is a newer display server, it lacks the software support that Xorg has. This is not the case, as many popular Linux applications and desktop environments now support Wayland (Firefox, GNOME, Gimp, LibreOffice) and more are being added all the time.
Third, you're suggesting that Wayland is built on top of Xorg and is not distinct from it. Wayland and Xorg are two different display servers, that have two completely different architectures.
Also, there are many reasons why parent would want to use Wayland: it's supposedly more secure, and lighter to run.
Thank you so much, that is precisely what I was looking for (my memory failed me regarding the background colour though, though there are purple elements). Thanks again, much appreciated.
So I appreciate the jist of your point but the way these models work is rather more complicated that copying and pasting snippets and so it certainly is not 'literally' true. The models are trained to predict sub-word level tokens from the internet training dataset, so the level of re-formation and regurgitation in a generated sentence can be vast, to the point of final sentence being novel it's own right.

It unfortunately seems to work if you don't go out of your way to block all trackers everywhere and never sign up for anything. I don't personally get any ads I would ever give a crap about, but my wife has been complaining like crazy and constantly blowing up our family plan with data overages since I started ad-blocking at the DNS level because she's constantly being served ads for stuff she actually wants and tries to click on it only to get blocked by my DNS server when it tries to go through a known tracker redirect to grab conversion stats for their campaign or whatever, and then she switches from WiFi to data in order to use the ISP's DNS instead.

This person is absolutely delusional.

It is in fact not merely necessary because the OS will overcommit. Even without overcommit, you hit the same problem, except you have no way to decide how to handle it---the application requesting the allocation suffers.

I guess my entire point with respect to defaults is that for anyone who knows what they're doing and the defaults do not work for them, they already have a huge pile of systems design and architecture work to do, and the mechanics of changing this OOM policy for that is a trivial change.

For people who do not know what they're doing and want the OS to do the hard stuff for them, there is no sane default. There are tradeoffs that will make large numbers of people unhappy. It is a no-win situation.

Funny because he's the only one ever mentioned or talked to in any article. It'd be nice to hear from the actual developers and not a figure head. Notice how it's only him? His role is to talk. His other company is also there to take credit, thanks to him and the media. We can blame the media all we want, but the reality is he basks in the spotlight. If that's his actual role he's doing it well.

I certainly hope your upcoming board didn't drink his koolaid and keeps him out.

I am not sure it is, but Graphene has an optional sandboxed Google Play Services that does not require signature spoofing and does not require a Google account. I have it installed on a work profile for some proprietary work apps that require it. My main profile contains all FOSS apps that use web sockets or Unified Push(Nextpush on Nextcloud) to deliver notifications.

In my day to day life I am on my computer pretty much every waking moment. But when I'm on vacations I only am on an electronic device (my phone) a couple hours in the evening, at most.

> Since the 1990s, we've sort of skirted our moral responsibility on who we trade with...

What trade laws prior to the 1990s were created due to "moral responsibility"? I believe all trade policy from the start of the country was designed to make certain people rich for political favor. You can say NAFTA and the WTO are bad deals, but that doesn't mean what came before it met some standard of morality.

> This responsibility isn't limited to "don't trade with countries that have concentration camps"...

Case in point, in WWII, US companies were allowed by US law to trade with Nazi Germany. IBM even helped directly with the genocide. When did the US trade policy driven by "moral responsibility" appear?

I planned my 2011 trip to Japan in a few clicks. And yet the actual getting there was still an adventure. And of course, once I landed I had to remember what I could of the local language, figure out where to go and what to do (I don't plan these things in advance), etc. Far from convenient, I was at sixes and sevens the whole time, but incredibly wonderful.
Outside of 'frameworks', I've tied projects to specific libraries that also were abandoned, and it's no better. Having every single query/dataaccess go through an abandoned library is not all that much different from an abandoned framework, imo.

For better or worse, there's some degree of 'upkeep' that has to be done with any code, if only to take advantage of some newer tooling (even ignoring security and performance concerns).

> and there's no desire to attempt an upgrade to the most recent version

That seems to be a problem there. I would not want to be using, say, Laravel 4 in 2022. Nor early Symfony, or any other framework (or library) that is years out of date.

What's been interesting to watch in Symfony and Laravel is to see an ecosystem grow around them which amplifies the value of using that framework (laravel shift springs to mind, based on your example above).

The danger seems to be in being complacent, regardless of tool choice. I've had to go back to Java/Spring code I wrote 10 years ago, and it's... challenging to make some things run again.

In most languages you can choose your execution model. Stateless then is an option, a design choice.
