Yes, I didn’t research this extensively… it was more of a hunch. :D Yes, certainly, I simply thought that if you minimize phone usage, it would result in a longer battery life and fewer charging cycles, which in turn would reduce CO2 emissions… but I admit it’s a bit of a stretch. :D

At the end I wrote my own little “search engine” to do that. Still buggy and not super fast, but it does what I need and I can now navigate also wit a bad connection https://blaze.cyclic.app

Nice. It’s not exactly what I had in mind, though. Thanks for sharing.

Nowadays is only a matter of community and resources related to the language that one can find online. Php lost popularity and gained this image as a bad language, this brings a lot of devs to not use Php without a real factual reason. Is just not cool or they feel ashamed to tell that they work with Php.

If a dev works with typescript is more easy to find a lot of cool and pleasing resources, videos, articles. With php, for the reasons explained above, the stuff you can find it does not feel so cool as other mainstream languages. And here the game start over, for this reason less people use it and so on. This give to the entire php ecosystem a kind of “old” feeling and a lot of young devs just don’t like it.

But rarely there are real reasons. With php 8 for sure there are not a lot of reasons to blame the language to be a bad language.

Until a couple of years ago I used to work with the last versions of php and I actually never felt the urges to redactor everything in some other language.

I am sure that php has limits, but in the same way as all other languages have their limits: they are just tools at the end.

Stop blaming php. Blame WordPress instead! :D

But I would ask he opposite question: can somebody make an argument to not use php? From a dev point of view.

This time I feel some optimism, it looks like the fediverse have a chance

I actually like it a lot. I think I can stick with it. I hope that this is the moment when the fediverse and the decentralized social networks will have the chance to become mainstream.

There are a couple of subreddits that will go blackout indefinitely. I think r/video is one of them, and it’s quite big. This can be annoying for the platform.

Being an Infinity user, I loved the app. I wish I could use it again for Lemmy. But since I don’t plan on going back to Reddit, I guess it’s time to say goodbye…

It’s astounding how consensus can be achieved on certain topics. Our planet is burning, yet we struggle to come together and agree on the urgent need to take action. However, when it comes to a change in Reddit’s API plan, we suddenly find ourselves capable of mobilizing en masse for a common cause. Humans are truly peculiar beings.
