cron broken after PHP update

[progval]

After a PHP update (5.6.18), cron.php stopped updating tweets.

The console output is:

archivemytweets@Hydrogen:~$ php /home/archivemytweets/archive-my-tweets/cron.php

Found: it was caused by this line of vendor/tijsverkoyen/TwitterOAuth/Twitter.php:

        $json = @json_decode($response, true);

Function json_decode was not found, and the error passed silently because of @.

(Keeping this issue open in case you want to drop the @ and use try…catch instead)
