https://playwright.dev/ what really bugs me is #PHP being left out of things like this: "Any browser. Any platform. Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Headless and headed. Also available for Python, .NET, and Java." why no #php

@dseguy@phpc.social Nice list, Nice host. Also I like the "Hosted in Europe, we welcome the world." which reads like "Hosted in Europe, we wont be compelled by US authorities to give up your data."

I know you might use "red leather yellow leather" to warm up your voice.

Here is an alternative (mandatory for all speakers at PHP tek)

@shaedrich@mastodon.online Oh yes I know that it was comment about the lack of PHP on Playwright's marketing page. As I recall Pest uses playwright under the hood.

After something of a hiatus, it's time for a new song! I wrote this fun, happy, slightly suggestive pop/funk track (think Maroon 5 or Bruno Mars) for my wife 🥰 Have a listen (especially to that awesome sax solo), and please spread the joy! https://marcus.bointon.com/you-make-me-smile/

In the spirit of this I would love to hear someone say :

"I am not going to mince my words here, ..."

and have a dot matrix printer printing out the speech in real time and have them fed into a cross-cut shredder.
