I mean open the most used software automatically can be user friendly. It's like a Chromebook. ;)

If you mean MITM between DNS Server and CA (e.g. letsencrypt), thats on a level of BGP hacking (means for me government involved) and means they can just use a CA (e.g. Fina CA 2025 with cloudflare).

I think the risk didn't change much (except for big corp/bank).

If this would be a tv show I probably would view it, but wow what a drama.

"Otherwise any MitM can easily redirect users to a phishing resource."

Yes, but with nowadays https/tls usage it's almost irrelevant for normal websites.

If bad actors can create valid tls certs they can solve the dnssec problem.

It's as dumb as the german Pauschalabgabe, where everyone is forced to pay a specific amount of money for technical devices, because there is the possibility of private copies for licenced media.

Most of the apps where developed for php 5.2-5.3 , as many things that you wrote where already bad code in this time. Spl autoloader, MySQLi, __construct was already available.

The apps are internal legacy apps so I can't share the codebase.

Because of this there was no big rewrite like types etc.

I have some apps that works from 5.3 to 8.5. php has great compatibility, if you don't rely on external libraries or framework and don't use types.

Everything gets much easier without windows, but many people feel a sense of security with windows.

I also prefer a flight without get a feeling of a flying can.

I think it's ok, that there is a warning on a parody site than looks like Google.

The site is for developers and most of the rare species are developers.

The designer fail to target their audience.

Then why we pay a fix price for everything, size of repositories, webhooks etc, except the self hosted actions.

No one stop you to backport kde to x11. It's honestly tiring how the people force open source developer to support something.

Commercial only, they will replace the agpl contributions from external people. (Or at least they will say that)
