That headlamp washer looks like it will gum up with dead bugs in a few years. Also, all the gimmicky internal and external lighting features... pass.

The tunnel is the only feature that is remotely useful.

I used to work with big companies collecting IoT data. 90% were collecting telemetry without knowing why. Or having business goals they could easily achieve in other ways, without hoovering everything and violating our privacy.

The rest were doing it so they could sell it to data brokers and make money.

None of them were trying to push privacy as a competitive advantage.

Just had a thought... here's a prime example of one of the stated advantages of the Fediverse. If you get locked out of one account, you can move to another instance.

Question is: do you get to carry over your profile, subscriptions, followers, comments, saves, up/down votes? Or do you have to start from scratch.

Because if it's scratch, somebody should change the "Fediverse Promise" so users know what to expect.

I'm guessing I know the answer, but this could be something Voyager could handle. Maybe even for a sustainable fee 🤔

Harris: "What? Now wait..."

Fox Moderator: "President Trump. They say you have the best golf record of any president in history. How did you accomplish this historic feat?"
