Thanks @maxbucknell & @JamieTanna I just made a text file and did it manually... trying to set up a local laravell valet environment.. for some reason composer was being a pain to fire commands from. In the end I made an alias path 🤪

To prevent the spread of Covid-19, people who need to sneeze have been advised to do so into their upper arm. People have instead, started stock piling toilet paper. This confirms the long standing belief that many people don't know their arse from their elbow...

TL;DR If you're going to be WFH for a while, might be worth cancelling your train season ticket and getting a new one when you go back.

UK friends who use trains to get to work: If you have a season ticket, and you’re about to start working from home for a while, it might be worth inquiring about a pro-rata refund: nationalrail.co.uk/times_fares/ti… I won’t be using mine, so I turned it in yesterday. It’s quite a saving!

I non-jokingly wonder whether COVID-19 or the GDPR privacy policy wave will end up having caused more emails from companies that I bought one item from 8 years ago, and who had since claimed that they deleted me from all of their databases

Gary Bernhardt (@garybernhardt)Fri, 13 Mar 2020 18:05 GMT

Look at all these newly WFH developers pretending that not speaking face-to-face with a human every 5 minutes is new to them, like they don’t stare into their glass rectangles writing hot takes on this fucking website 12 hours a day I SEE YOU

Please do spare a thought for all the people trying to ensure that coworkers can work from home without putting user data at risk because there's a *lot* of hard problems here

Have to say I’m enjoying the #remote phase so far. Had a really nice breakfast call with @__jcmc__ and @fragmad this morning 😊 Then lunch with an awesome crowd, organised by @dylanbeattie ✨

It’s only “remote working” if it’s from the asynchronous region of France, otherwise it’s just sparkling office working

I just can’t with Google. I do not understand why the web community (mostly) views Facebook as questionable but treats Google as socially acceptable. Lines drawn at their own convenience.

RT @peter_nhs Remember that quite decent tv series about Chernobyl a few months ago, where everyone got sick and died because of a callous, sclerotic state and its systemic failures of accountability and responsibility, and everyone watched it and was like "lol, guess that's communism for you"

I have a feeling a lot of meetings are about to have kids running around in the background and honestly this is my heaven. Bring your babies, dogs, cats, birds, curmudgeonly teenagers — I’m happy to see them all. It’s like a take your household to work day.

My friend's boss received a link to an article from his friend saying the London Underground has been shut down for 3 weeks and forwarded it to the entire office before realising that it was a fake article that links to a picture of a naked man

Solidarity with my single friends who don’t have (a) partner(s)/cohabitators right now who are there to help you prepare and to cope. While distancing and isolation is the right thing, it can compound existing feelings of loneliness. I know it does for me.
