Look at PHP Foundation @thephpf finances:
https://opencollective.com/phpfoundation#category-BUDGET

- Reimbursed $67K on development work this year
- Received: $642,755 last year

Compare these numbers with the amounts companies have made with products & services built upon #PHP. Our digital foundations are built on the backs of #opensource volunteers. Governments & companies need to invest in our common digital infrastructures.

A one-time 5% wealth tax would bring Silicon Valley's billionaires' wealth back to where it was just 31 days ago

No better time than now to recommend the best apps from everyone's favorite #FOSS app store, F-Droid.

We'll start: Librera Reader, Image Toolbox, LocalSend, AntennaPod, FMD, Capy Reader, Unexpected Keyboard, Voice Audiobook Player, Aegis Authenticator...

Latest picture of the eclipse here..

It's happening! It's happening! #eclipse

My setup is now ready. #eclipse

Solar Eclipse; are you prepared?!? I will try the following setup (see image)... NEVER look directly in the sun, not with sunglasses, during a (partial) solar eclipse. Also do NOT look into the binoculars to look for the sun. It's happening at 12 August 2026. #solar #solareclipse #solareclipse2026 #prepared #besafe #donotlookwithyourremainingeyeintothesun

I am going to clean my solar collector during the solar eclipse for maximum stakeholder value.
