PHP 5.6 reaches end of life in December 2018.

Many server admins refuse to upgrade to PHP 7.1, because WordPress refuses to make its minimum PHP version 7.1 and so they don't have to.

WordPress refuses to make its minimum PHP version 7.1 because many server admins haven't upgraded yet.

Because of this, people are blaming PHP for "ending 5.6 too early".

:thinkhappy:

I didn't get any billable hours last month and I don't have any indication that I'll get any this month. (In fact, I've barely heard from my clients at all for several weeks.)

At this rate, I'm going to run out of money by the end of the month, and this in a time when I also need to focus on moving by the end of the year and finding more work in general.

If you have a few dollars you could toss my way, I'd appreciate it.

So, okay. This needs to be said and understood:

KiwiFarms, Encyclopedia Dramatica, and 4chan are NOT reliable sources.

They're not.

Their entire reason for being is to manufacture reasons to ostracize people. They are, by any definition, hate machines.

You know the saying "trust but verify"? I am telling you: you can't trust these sources.

If you're going to attack and harass someone, find a better source than KiwiFarms, Encyclopedia Dramatica, and 4chan. Please.

Here's a :birdsite: thread where a molecular biologist explains that physical sex isn't binary, and that treating it that way leads to broken science and erroneous medical treatment: https://twitter.com/ScienceVet2/status/1035246030500061184

melalandia.tk has a stated policy of unfettered free speech and their admin boosts child porn from pawoo and baraag.net. (also at least suspend media from pawoo and baraag.net.)

Techbros: If you don’t like how a project is being run, why don’t you just fork it?

#ForkOff: okay

Techbros: no not like that, now let me tell you why forking is a bad idea

a bird discovers a capybara's hidden off switch

apparently a TERF made this to mock trans people and it's actually just the best thing?

This is disgusting and shameful, and anyone in the White House with a shred of decency should resign over this statement.

An oldie but a goodie: The Case of the 500-Mile Email:

"We're having a problem sending email out of the department."

"What's the problem?" I asked.

"We can't send mail more than 500 miles," the chairman explained.

I choked on my latte. "Come again?"

"We can't send mail farther than 500 miles from here," he repeated. "A little bit more, actually. Call it 520 miles. But no farther."
