⚠️ If you're running local mcp servers, you need to do the following:
1. Individually "install" packages you want to use, within a specified directory: (e.g. $HOME/mcp) creating a lockfile
2. Add: "--include-workspace-root --workspace $HOME/mcp --no --offline" to EVERY npx call
I don’t think I realized I had any latent Challenger trauma until right about now

We need your help to test Composer 2.10. Expect a final release next week, now is the time to try it out and flag any issue you find! github.com/composer/com... #composerphp #phpc
If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately*
Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code.
GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH

That makes tools like thanks.dev or @tidelift or funds.ecosyste.ms so much easier
One of my takeaways from @foss-backstage.de was @andrewnez.bsky.social saying relative download stats for packages closely resemble stats of open source dependents, so closed source dependency use matches open source dependency use: We can distribute funding fairly w/o analyzing closed source use.
Slide saying "The Autonomy of EU Law" with a venn diagram showing how Belgian legal person, us legal person and German legal person are all separate concepts with the CRA defining a legal person in a way that only partially overlaps with each of these
Enjoying the CRA workshop at @foss-backstage.de - that feels a lot like some absurdist comedy show 🙈
I don't think we've talked enough about this login trend using OTPs (one-time passwords) sent via email. My ADHD brain has enough problems staying on task as-is, I don't need you, authentication designer, over here making me open the distraction circus that is my inbox to dig up a six-figure code
Meet me at @foss-backstage.de today and tomorrow in Berlin! Let's talk about sustainable software package repository operation, supply chain security in open source and @thephpf.bsky.social
Excited to see my aunt Ines put together a website for her art and upcoming exhibitions 🎉 www.ines-kettenburg.de

Will take a look. Our Composer doesn't have a LinkedIn, at least nothing we control and that domain isn't ours sadly.
Finally got to meet @snipe.lol IRL at #LaraconEU! 😁

Postfach: „Frau P. ist seit 10 Jahren wohnungslos und bekommt endlich Unterstützung durch Housing First. Doch jetzt droht Haft wegen Fahren ohne Ticket. Wird sie eingesperrt, gefährdet das den Erhalt der Wohnung weil die Miete nicht mehr gezahlt wird. Könnt ihr was tun?“
Das Gesetz muss weg. Punkt.
Boo, surely you can pack more efficiently after some rose 😜
