#Fedora changes of this week

All #PHP extensions, coming from PECL and also available in packagist (PIE), have been cleaned of pecl stuff (25 packages for now).

So "php-pear" is no longer required at build or runtime.

Example: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/php-pecl-mongodb2/c/1a4935c4ea1c5973106e74602286becddc22a307?branch=rawhide

I've used RSS for more years than I can count to keep on top of all sorts of news - including #Drupal news. 📰

I subscribed to these new #Drupal commit feeds a few weeks ago and absolutely love them! Thanks, @dries 🙏❤️✨

A better way to follow Drupal development

Dries is the Founder and Project Lead of Drupal and the Co-founder and Executive Chair of Acquia.

I'm in no way an AI hater. It has some very good use cases. But in the commercial world, if you are promoting a product or service, the phrase "AI-powered" translates to "didn't read the room". The majority probably don't see that as a plus? (I could be wrong!)

Boost if you will to get coverage. The results will be interesting if enough people vote.

EDIT: I should have said "hater or lover". But the question was strictly concerning the use of that language in promo and advertising.
