  • I think I’ll just keep using tailscale until they start enshittifying, and then set up a Headscale instance on a VPS - no need to take this step ahead of time, right?

    I mean, all the people saying they can avoid any issues by doing the above - what’s to stop Tailscale dropping support for Headscale in future if they’re serious about enshitification? Their Linux & Android clients are open source, but not IOS or Windows so they could easily block access for them.

    My point being - I’ll worry when there is something substantial to worry about, til then they can know I’m using like 3 devices and a github account to authenticate. MagicDNS and the reliability of the clients is just too good for me to switch over mild funding concerns.

    Hmm I dunno, take a look at any bird-of-paradise or male peacock and tell me that the dinosaur’s descents aren’t beautiful.

    The reality is we have a very loose idea of what dinosaurs really looked like, because what remains of them is so many millions of years old that it’s decayed completely, or if we’re exceptionally lucky - been fossilized. Feathers, skin, colours, fluorescences, bio-luminescence - 99.9999% lost to time, and could have been very beautiful.












  • It’s a really poorly thought out idea.

    Imagine how his followers would react.

    Imagine how many on the left side of US politics would very likely see attempts on their lives or successfully be assassinated in revenge - AOC, Bernie, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib?? Even centrists like Kamala and Obama would be likely targets.

    The damage that political assassinations cause in a democracy (even a flawed one) is far greater than the ‘good’ they may do in taking down a bad leader.

    Only musicians have to wear the politically dangerous slogan that could risk their lives, or the life of their children or partners?

    *I would totally do this hypothetical that I have no danger of actually needing to do in the real world ever. *

    I hope you realize that this reads just like those “you know, if I was on board that plane that got hijacked… Things woulda been different” posts.



  • “His friend didn’t like Trump” is a little different to his friend publically endorsing an assassination attempt on their president.

    Anyone who was aghast that ‘OMG Tenacious D broke up’ is no fan - they break up on every album, literally every show - it’s a bit. Jack Black is no fan of Trump, he’s publically stated the entire Apocalypto album was a response to Trump’s 2016 win. He hates his guts.

    That’s very different to advocating for political assassination on stage.

    The smart response was to back away from the situation, distance himself from KG, Kg to issue an apology, let it cool off - and then come back later. And would you look at that - so far that’s exactly what’s been done.
