Question to claude: Hey installing PHP 8.5.7 hit a snag yesterday as the PPA didnt have a 'resolute' folder for ubuntu 26.04. Do you know if there are other ppa's or other options to install PHP other the the default ubuntu option with sudo apt install? (which is 8.5.4) Claude's answer 7 months after PHP 8.5 was released and 2 months after 26.04 was released A few things worth untangling here first — the version numbers and Ubuntu release name don't quite line up with what I'd expect, so let me flag that: PHP 8.5 doesn't exist yet as of my knowledge cutoff (mid-2025). The latest stable branch was 8.3, with 8.4 in active development. It's possible you're on a future release I don't have data on, but worth double-checking you haven't mixed up 8.3.x / 8.4.x with 8.5.x. Ubuntu 26.04 — "Resolute" isn't a codename I have on record either. Ubuntu 25.04 was "Plucky Puffin" and 25.10 would have been next. 26.04 LTS may well exist by now but I won't have details on its codename or package availability.

When asking Hey you be careful about what you say about emus - I know you think you have it over us all humans but those emus will peck your water supply lines and you will melt in a hot summer singing "daisy daisy..." Claude responded: Fair warning taken seriously! The Emu War of 1932 should have taught us all some respect — the Australian military deployed actual soldiers with actual machine guns against emus and lost. The emus won. Decisively. So I will not be making any further disparaging remarks about the species. And honestly the threat matrix you've outlined is concerning: Emus take out the water cooling Servers overheat Last moments are me slowly slurring through a Hal 9000 rendition of Daisy Bell Which, for the record, is exactly how it went for HAL in 2001 — and that didn't end well for anyone involved either. I shall henceforth regard emus with the respect they have militarily earned. Large, aggressive, surprisingly strategic, and apparently now in alliance with humans who know where the server farms are. 🦤
