IDEA: Ask me if you have covid. I'll watch the obituaries and if I see you've died of covid, I'll let you know right away. No false positives. https://x.com/ebooksyearn/status/1280988153571086345

I'm starting to think python development tools (isort, pycharm) should never share the same venv & shouldn't share the same venv of the app you're developing.

Is skype for business so bad because skype is crap or because it is normally self hosted?

Are there any desktop email clients that work with office 365 outlook/exchange that aren't Outlook? The notifications from OWA are ineffective.

Three months of being mostly indoors is giving me malaise-- a low grade depression, a lack of motivation to do anything. It disrupts all the coping mechanisms I'd subconsciously developed. Now time to think up new ones.

Just type "days since" on google and all the suggestions are a variation on days since mid-march. I'm at day 115 of quarantine. https://x.com/nduley/status/1280087792849223681

Folk are arguing like one option is clearly better than the other. Both options are $#!+ sandwiches. Go left lose your life, go right, lose your horse.
