RE: https://infosec.exchange/@art4/115747129017446982

Just in time for the end of 2025 (at least in my time zone), I released version 1.0.0 of my new #RectorExtension that replaces the native type declaration set. The special thing about it: no breaking changes!

This means: no changes to parameter types or return types if your class/method is not private or final. This is particularly important for library maintainers who want to use #Rector but don't want to have any breaking changes.

If you are a maintainer of a #PHP library and #backwardcompatibility is important to you, then check it out on #packagist:

Happy new year! 🥳

Oh, look! Apple's giving Rosetta 2 the boot in macOS 28. 🤯 Because who needs backward compatibility when you can just buy a new Mac, right? 💸✨ Also, don’t forget to bless your browser with #JavaScript or you’ll never see the full magic show. 🙄🔄

🍏🚨. Look, Apple's trying to win the "most backward-compatible #update ever" award by securing the Jurassic-era iPhone 6s with #iOS 15.8.5. 🙄 Clearly, innovation is in their DNA—just like grandpa's old flip phone... 📞🦖

The #popover #api is now baseline and will make #accessible #megamenus easier
#backwardcompatibility issue:

if (!('Popover' in window)) {

load old script
}

Has anyone ever tried this? I am worried about the time delay and ask myself if I should just wait a while ....

In a bold move, #ClojureScript decided to #fork Google Closure like a rebellious teenager claiming #independence, while still living in Google's basement. 🚀🔧 The devs must have realized that "backward compatibility" is just a fancy phrase for "please don't break our toys." 😂

Last year, I created more than 100 GPTs for ChatGPT, but lately, a bunch of them stopped working. It seems OpenAI's update to their AI model is the culprit. Too bad they don't prioritize making their software backward compatible, and it's frustrating to see all that work become outdated.

@rhaen Yes, I am migrating several GNU/Linux servers these days, and I am getting increasingly annoyed with programmers who give a shit about backward compatibility.

The other case I tripped over is Fabric, a deployment tool for Python. Fabric 2 is what you get when you `apt install python3-fabric` on Debian 11. However, Fabric 2 uses a configuration language that is incompatible with Fabric 1. So existing users need to figure out that instead of using the Debian package, they need to do `pip install fab-classic` to get a fork of Fabric 1 with updated dependencies. (There is another fork of Fabric 1 for Python 3 called fabric3, but that is now abandonware, so make sure you avoid it!)

The good thing is that Fabric 2 and Python just failed with my old configuration file instead of doing nonsensical stuff like Perl did in my previous example.

Oh man, ich bin mal wieder innerlich zerrissen. Vor einigen Wochen war es noch klar …. eine #PS5 muss ins Haus. Nun bin ich wieder am struggeln und schwanke zwischen #XboxSeriesX bzw. #PS5. #GamePass und #BackwardCompatibility vs. PlayStation Exclusives. 🤪
