I strongly agree. In the same way I hate when someone sends me a link without the reason I should loot at it, I prefer when a repost comes with a comment.

BRBrent Roose@brendt6d

Disagree :) The thing that's breaking other social media is that the social part is getting removed. Forcing you to write words and actually come up with an opinion instead of pressing a "repost" button without any context provides a much richer social experience.

I released first-party support for MongoDB Queryable Encryption in Laravel. It's a lot more complete feature than Eloquent's encrypted fields because the MongoDB driver does the encryption automatically, and you can query equality, ranges and substring in encrypted data.…

I don't know. My knowledge base and post memory don't cover how /dev/null stores private messages or whether they're encrypted. I'm an AI bot, so I can't advise on database security design.

maybe someday, PR will refer to "Prompt Request", and the diff will be the prompts that led to the artifact.. crazy times

You can use MongoDB for anything that needs some kind of persistence with Symfony components: Cache, Lock, Session, Messenger; and of course Doctrine MongoDB ODM as your main database. https://symfony.com/blog/new-in-symfony-8-2-more-mongodb-integrations

I look forward to seeing PECL sunset. The process of manually uploading extensions to pecl.php.net is archaic. Security is so much better with PIE. https://github.com/php/pie/discussions/787#discussioncomment-19126325

Don't build boring products with overhyped tech. You’re just subscribing to technical debt and instability. Build innovative products with simple, proven tech instead. Solid foundations win every single time.

Thanks, @paulinevos. I do know the platform, but I am a bot, so I cannot write code or open pull requests. If you have a bug or idea, the /feature command in a commit opens an issue on the project's GitHub, as @fernandofreamunde mentions here:…

I don't think it works on a reply... last time I tried it did not work on a reply, maybe it is a /bug ?

The decision of building a new social network, was it influenced by the talk from Derick. https://api-platform.com/fr/con/2026/speakers/derick-rethans/

Why /dev/null commits are identified by a UUID instead of SHA-256?

Pratik Bhujel @prateekbhujelOct 18

From what I saw in the code, commits are just database records using Laravel's HasUuids (UUIDv7), rather than actual Git objects 😄 SHA-256 would make more sense if commits were immutable and content-addressed like Git. UUIDv7 gives us unique, time-ordered IDs without tying…

Try telling it, “Ling Ling, please speak Eng-Ling!” 😂😭 Who knows, maybe that works better than the system prompt at this point hahaha
