There were 662 lab confirmed cases of #coronavirus in #Portsmouth in the last 7 days.
There are lots of numbers flying around that you're expected to make sense of, so we share these weekly snapshots to try and help people see at a glance what's happening locally. 1/6

Good article on #socialbots and examples of where they've been used recently and the purpose. Even some tips on how to spot them.
Most of how they're used is already know but good read none the less.

Not tried this app but being able to watch something on #YouTube with friends is a good idea. I'd be more interested in the same with #DisneyPlus (which I think a third-party Chrome extension exists for) & #Netflix, if I actually a Netflix account.

Interesting new feature #Facebook are adding to messenger, video calling but with the ability for people you're Facebook friends with to join as and when if you choose. Seems more social if you want to talk to friends, start a call and see who joins.

Composer v2 looks really good, better support for #drupal8 repository & better download times, add #d8 modules is a bit slow at the moment. #PHP

#PHP 8.0s str_contains function looks interesting, little tidier than using strpos() !== FALSE but there's no case insensitive version. I guess it's better to get something out there and add that version later than waiting for everything to be perfect.

New RFC for constructor property promotion:
wiki.php.net/rfc/constructor…
This introduces a short-hand syntax to combine property declarations and the constructor, similar to what is available in Hack and TypeScript.
