It must be the first of the month, because the GitHub sponsor cancellations are coming in again.

Instead of spending money on things that you don't need on this #cybermonday, support the maintainers of the open source projects who help you create the software that powers your site.

For @Xdebug that could be through:
- GitHub sponsors: https://github.com/sponsors/derickr
- Directly with an invoice: https://xdebug.org/support
- Signing up and using Xdebug Cloud: https://xdebug.cloud/

When Trump and his crime family comes for your data, American tech won't save you. They'll hand it over because they have no choice. European and Canadian alternatives aren't perfect, but at least they aren't under Trump's thumb.

Here's my post-Trump tech stack.

How I’m Building a Trump-Proof Tech Stack Without Big Tech

The world can no longer trust American tech. If that sounds dramatic, take a step back and consider the facts. The United States is a nation in the thrall of authoritarianism, owned and operated almost completely by a far-right doomsday cult intent on betraying every alliance, every contract, every promise

Please share this petition to ban conversion therapy in the EU. As a survivor, I can't articulate the years of shame, self doubt and suffering these practices cause. Conversion therapy is abuse, emotionally, physically, spiritually. No one should have to experience this. Boost, boost, boost this 🙏🙏🙏🙏 https://eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/screen/home #lgbtq

The Transphobes are Coming for All of Us

Back when I was in college, I went to see a doctor for a very specific problem. I am not a detail-oriented person so I’m not sure if this was a new problem or if I just hadn’t noticed because I nev…

So far, I've given my "Testing Your PHP API With Behat" talk on one conference and two meetups. It's still scary, but with more practise, I find more and more enjoyment in talking and sharing experience. If you want me to talk on your meetup (in the Netherlands, preferably), let me know.
