Went to my first @ottawa_titans game this evening!

@acvc90 @uncreativetom I have a feeling that the low rating is mainly based on fragility and repairability scores.

[Alex Killby @alexkillby]

Honestly, the inability to sort To-Do tasks chronologically in the Outlook web sidebar creates a lot of friction and unnecessary work. Please consider adding sorting controls or inheriting the sorting chosen from the To-Do app in this view in the same way @Google Tasks does, @Microsoft365.

Has anyone else noticed that Ivory soap no longer floats?

[Sean Speer @Sean_Speer]

Conservatives have understandably responded negatively to reports that a CBC-funded prank show sought to ideologically target Sir John A Macdonald and Canadian institutions and individuals who commemorate him.

But the main issue here isn’t that the show is left wing or even that it has dumb ideas about Macdonald. It’s that the rest of us were forced to pay for it.

There’s no market failure for comedy shows or left-wing mockumentaries. If Canadians want to create or watch such content, then they should pay for it.

The strongest case for defunding the CBC continues to be a technocratic one: in today’s environment, there’s no public policy basis to collectivize the cost of news and entertainment.

Just got back on Sunday from my first-ever cruise. I am now completely convinced that with the proliferation of @Starlink access in the remotest parts of the world, we may come full circle and see a resurgence in travel by ship. I think a week at sea is infinitely more comfortable than a 5+ hour economy class flight.

Delighted to see additional support for the DofE Award Canada. @KingsTrustCA, recommend speaking with @scoutscanada as another highly effective leadership and character development movement for young people in Canada.

Yesterday at Canada House in London, I was honoured to join HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award Canada and The King's Trust Canada for the signing of a Statement of Intended Partnership.
Together, we are working to bring new opportunities to Ontario secondary students that help build leadership, confidence and the future-ready skills they need to succeed.

With yesterday's @Google I/O keynote, it appears that this is indeed the direction agentic AI is moving in. I wouldn't be surprised to see a completely different internet and general computing interface in a couple decades.

[Alex Killby @alexkillby]

Will AI agents become the universal UI? Companies who want to enable seamless agent-enabled interactions will ultimately deploy well-documented public APIs for their services and dispense with building a front-end altogether. https://t.co/pBwVqHNkrJ

@OC_TranspoHelps You're playing the "platform closed" announcement on both platforms leading to significant confusion. You should only be playing that message on the Southbound platform.

Divorcing Windows

@CanadasNAC Trying to buy tickets but the website is broken.

[Alex Killby @alexkillby]

@OC_TranspoHelps Easternmost eastbound platform-level heating element is currently non functional at Hurdman station.

[Sos "Wishlist Lazy Kickers" Sosowski @Sosowski]

Remember when Windows added a new “Notepad” app with CoPilot and forced the good old notepad.exe to open the new app instead of itself even if you don’t want it?

Well, a new feature just dropped.

[Alex Killby @alexkillby]

@CharlatanLive is currently offline. Potential DDoS attack?

[Alex Killby @alexkillby]

Couldn't agree more. Let's hope more of our national network gets reactivated before the infrastructure disappears completely. https://t.co/APqwQD7AKO

@OC_Transpo @OC_Transpo curious why there is a discrepancy in practice here between line 1 and 2.

[Alex Killby @alexkillby]

@OC_Transpo THANK YOU for activating the push buttons on Line 1 to open the door during winter weather finally. IMHO it should be this way all the time. Certainly it would be far more energy efficient.

[Alex Killby @alexkillby]

@OC_Transpo Oh wait I spoke too soon. Seems to have only been done at the terminus station during the changeover... 😑
