This changes EVERYTHING
I just announced on stage at @LaraconEU that the FIRST EVER iPhone app to built on @LaravelPHP and @LaravelLivewire has been released on the iOS App Store
Yes, you read that right!
PHP now has Apple's approval as a legitimate way to build iOS apps

Yes, but also no
This is not how most individuals or companies will do self-hosted AI
Apple actually have it right: it comes pre-made in a box
AMD and Nvidia might get there too if they play their cards right
Fable 5 was banned by the US government yesterday.
It's time to build your own Personal AI Computer and run local models. So no one can ever cut you off.
Here's how β

Not quite up there with the big boys yet, but the total downloads of all packages I've released and manage is now over 1 million
That's pretty cool π

Open source is facilitated by a handful of people. Iβm at 2.16B myself. Just Nuno and myself, and youβre at 2% of all PHP downloaded.
Then realize Nuno and I are probably not even in the top 10, some have an even bigger footprint ππ€―

Once again, "old white guy" gov shows its own shortsightedness π€¦ββοΈ
Blocking Fable only really serves to embolden efforts to create & improve Open Source/Weights models that are SotA-equivalent
One big difference: they will be impossible to control by threatening a single entity

You want ambitious? How about making PHP power 50% of mobile apps by 2030?
No, not just PHP running on the server; in the app
When you see what it unlocks, you'll stop saying "you've lost your marbles, Simon"

It's so nice - for a change - to see my feed filling up with wholesome content about a game that was beloved by so many (including me) for almost 30 years
Between OoT and Starfox, I'm def getting a Switch 2 this year
That's the enduring effect that real human creativity has

With all this Ocarina of Time Remake announcements happening, I figured I'd share that I did a 5 hour retrospective on the game four years ago and I consider the video my Magnum Opus to date. Came up with an opening intro montage shown below. Link in Bio.

This segment of Apple's Platforms State of the Union by @LoriHC is the most important one!
Exactly what I've been saying would happen: apps are the way to get your brand inside Siri
The App Intents framework is skills & tools for Siri AI
