lol. sarcasm?

Yes, the elephant in the room is the "cutting edge styling".

I drove one as a loaner and I had all kinds of curiosity, but I didn't want anyone seeing me get in and out of it.

I think it was kind of like a pt cruiser, where the designers thought they were recreating the old style trucks, but to the public it was an acquired taste. A very acquired taste.

The bed design is actually kind of interesting. But I thought they demo'd that it could squat down like a loading ramp and I don't think that materialized.


Not completely sarcasm, I left unsaid that the bed design is a result of the "cutting edge styling", they would've had to change the styling on the back side at the very least to make a bit more practical truck.

And I think they should have moderated the style on the back. Gone for more of a mullet LOL.


Yeah except the PT cruiser is actually a good practical design, with a low floor entry height, and comfortable upright seating and pretty good cargo capacity and decent fuel economy. Its certainly more useful than today's crossovers. And was a sales success. They sold tons of them. The thing is, they thought it would appeal to young buyers, but it was mostly older people who flocked to them in droves. The PT Cruiser community also was massive, and their owners loved them. They were also mechanically simple and cheap to repair, being built on the Neon platform. It was a well thought out vehicle, and not just a gimmick. Even if you don't like the retro styling. I give Chrysler props for it.

the periodic terms and conditions updates are hell though.

It works great for me too.

But there are weirdnesses.

For example, you can't add a person to phone favorites.


Wait - it looks like this is right! I was thinking that of course you could, but it doesn't seem like the option exists once Lockdown mode is turned on. Do you know why? I don't remember reading that in the list of effects.

It seems as though it doesn't affect existing favourites in any way...


I believe folks in the favorites list have privileges to contact you, so this must prevent random people from doing that.

To add to favorites, turn off lockdown mode, favorite someone, then turn it back on.


Does the favorites added before enabling lockdown mode remain or they get removed as well?

Favorites exist, but lockdown just means you can't add/delete favorites.

To change the list just turn off lockdown, add/remove people, then turn it back on.


a lot of this stuff is already broken.

XQuartz is almost unusable now since new windows don't get focus.

There are a lot of bugs in xquartz marked "macos bug"

Another issue I had is that rsync was quietly failing for a lot of stuff I backed up.

I used to rsync -av machine:dir/ dir/ and it stopped syncing stuff.

Turns out they silently replaced rsync with a less capable openrsync.


That thing is called SI now. Maybe AI means Aerospace Internet.

Astronaut Internet?


I hope ai models that do these kinds of things always stay available and/or open.

I lived in an apartment building that required you to sign an agreement with a third party to pick up your packages in the package room.

You had to give them your phone number so they could send you a code to access the package room, then also agree to collection of photographs and videos of you.

I didn't do it.

I think a lot of other people didn't do it. Some would have the packages delivered to their front door. Others got their packages "held hostage".


> but now we also already have a few nice 80%-ready features queued up for PostgreSQL 20 that just need those remaining 80% to get done!

This is quite a nice perspective to end up on, and a little humor too.

Some of the beauty of linux that wouldn't happen in corp.


Did it actually come in the mail?

I've bought some low-priced things on amazon, just to have them cancelled. Spooky since I figure someone got my name, address, phone number from amazon.


People are driving with lights off.

The real problem is that they get daytime running lights, instead of lights off or lights on.

Daytime running lights give them dim headlights that have headlight patterns so the driver might think his/her lights are on, but to people behind the tail lights are completely dark.
