This year, I'm going to focus more on less. I'm going to declutter my mind, my body, and my stuff. In general, I want to get rid of junk.

@PublicMobile It seems like every system I could try to self serve and use failed me today. I could understand one or two systems failing, but 4 or 5? There's something seriously wrong with your customer/user experience here.

[Devon 🇨🇦 @devonmitton]

@PublicMobile what is up with your online system? I’m trying to login and confirm my identity but the system keeps refusing me even though the 2FA is correct. I can’t get access to my account, your support is severely lacking, and the chatbot won’t connect me to a human being…

[Devon 🇨🇦 @devonmitton]

@PublicMobile Ok, I've submitted a ticket. Hopefully I'm talking to a human at the other end of this conversation. I'd like to pass along the feedback that the chatbot on the website was 0% helpful and this whole experience with trying to get access to this account is extremely frustrating.

@ohryan Also, apparently YouTube yoga isn’t bad. Pop it onto your tv and follow along from the comfort of your home. COVID style.

[Devon 🇨🇦 @devonmitton]

@ohryan I see you got SportChek as a suggestion. That’s where I’d go. Running tights are good. Or there’s joggers that work well too. I bought some comfy joggers from American eagle.

@bradcerasani Cut the red wire.

@ohryan @underscorefunk So all of that to say different people are different. Your mileage may vary.

[Devon 🇨🇦 @devonmitton]

@ohryan @underscorefunk No. These are two different things. When I pick up my daughter from her friends house, she’s lit up, happy, full of energy. Tell her to get off a screen, she’s low, rude, grumpy.

@jon_bossenger @ohryan Mutation observers would probably do the trick. https://t.co/ojpgdKQk8L

@ohryan @stungeye To be clear: first gen AirPod pros. The noise cancelling mode is very impressive though. Switching between the two is weird.

[Devon 🇨🇦 @devonmitton]

@ohryan @stungeye No. First gen.

[Devon 🇨🇦 @devonmitton]

@ohryan @stungeye Transparency mode works pretty good. But if you’re blasting music you still can’t hear properly.

[Devon 🇨🇦 @devonmitton]

@ohryan Fair enough, it's not the product for you.

[Devon 🇨🇦 @devonmitton]

@ohryan Maybe it's a tension between aesthetic, ergonomic, and economic.

Pick 2.

[Devon 🇨🇦 @devonmitton]

@ohryan Trackpads aren't all that ergonomic either... Aesthetics and ergonomics often seem like opposing forces. The VERY ergonomic stuff often looks like turds. The VERY aesthetic stuff often is uncomfortable. HM Aeron might be one of the few exceptions I can think of.

There's a traffic light in Germany, where you can play Pong with the player on the other side to make waiting fun [read more: https://t.co/UnR1wnrT2S]

Startups often think their competitors are other companies offering a similar service as them. In my experience their real competitors are more likely going to be spreadsheets, email, calendars, browser tabs and note taking apps.

@littlebluerobot I like how Simon Sinek talks about this. What you’re describing is management. Some leaders are managers. Managers have authority, but they’re not necessarily leaders. Leader are people that we want to follow. The people you describe who aren’t public figures, they’re leaders.
