   Dear Boeing,

   I travel on your planes quite a bit. Please stop making them like they're Teslas.

     The replies to this on Bluesky are something else. They’re quite sanctimonious and fall into the category of, “please use another form of public transport for long distance travel in and out of Portugal” (sure thing. Here’s an exhaustive list: )

     Or

     “iPad/SUV crossovers which fall to bits from lack of QA with random OTA patches distributed by an ego challenged fascist in a strop are good actually and you should use them instead of public transport”.

     @goatsarah One thing that can be said about this is this is what happens when sales and marketing takes over an engineering organisation.

     @goatsarah 😬 Yes. Because an iPad will surely kill you if its operating system fails or its glass breaks. 🤦♂️

     It is weird what people choose to defend.

     Personally, I value solid windows and doors on planes. It's a relatively low bar.✈️

     @chris My main issue with cars that are iPads with wheels is that the UI is generally terrible and they’re fucking horrible to drive.

     I want a speed dial, a volume knob, actual buttons to press for climate control, and door handles that actually allow me to operate the door.
