Sweet!
We had/have an email where we send complaints about breaking changes. They replied to the first complaint telling us that we can manually send them an email to verify cases XD They have since ignored all emails in which we have let them know about further breaking changes.

Maybe we need to set up some mailing list for frustrated users of that gov API to notify each other of breaking changes and weird behavior. Can’t imagine we are the only once struggling with this.

Randomly stumbled over a note on the EVATR website that their XML API is being replaced by a new JSON API. We regularly use the website to manually verify information to figure out what info passes the check.

Already done. Was quite the task to remember all the hacks we put in place to make this work with the old API.

By far the favorite API I ever worked with... Quite insane how they continuously introduce breaking changes. Most recently they require you to transliterate characters in VAT info to successfully validate company info in various countries.

🚨 PSA for #PHP package maintainers: DO NOT REPLACE tags! If you messed up a release simply do another. No matter how quickly you notice a mistake, automatic tools already pulled the original tag, triggered automatic updates. Users will never know you recreated the tag and use the broken state. #phpc

Petition: Repeal the Online Safety Act
We want the Government to repeal the Online Safety act.
The Online Safety Act is terrible for privacy. This is not just about pornography, it has wide over-reach into all our digital lives. It is authoritarian, and literally embodies parts of an Orwellian 1984 - except this is reality, not just a dystopian novel.

Two people on stools at a table in front of a Private Packagist and a Conductor banner as well as a big screen.
Stop by our @packagist.com booth at #LaraconEU and have a chat about Composer, Packagist, Conductor or anything else relating to dependency management and supply chain security! #Laravel #Laracon

I have been playing around with running PHP through WASM, mostly to see how we can enable more extensions for the one that runs in the PHP documentation.
