Fdroid says Tailscale sends logs when it is not authorized. Is that bad? I am looking into Tailscale and might consider Wireguard if it is more privacy-friendly.

Botox will produce unteresting results. I’m definitely getting some if I ever go back to the office. Hopefully, people will not see me scowl afterwards.
- Comment on There was no need to ever improve upon THIS 1 week ago:
I ling for the days it was two horizontal sliders. Cold to left, slide to the right the warmer you wanted. Low to the left, slight to the right for high fan. Now it’s all this digital horse shit and it takes years of me being bored at red lights to be motivated to explore all the menu drudgery on the console. Now it all has fucking wifi and tracker nonsense too.

- Comment on NASA will say goodbye to the International Space Station in 2030 − and welcome in the age of commercial space stations 2 weeks ago:
Those delays are normal. I hate Elon, too, but I’ve worked with them, and their shit is fresh. SLS is also not a disaster. That first mission was almost perfect, and the SLS community is strong. The difference is that NASA can not tolerate failure, and SpaceX can. NASA must be right the first time. SpaceX just breaks shit quickly.
I have a picture of SpaceX Falcon on the launch pad. The picture is from 2008. Claims that they are faster are not accurate. We have built two launch vehicles and successfully completed testing since then. Starship just now had a decent test or two, IIRC. We didn’t start SLS until like 2012, and SpaceX had Dalcon in pad in 2008. Had they not canceled Ares I right after a successful flight, NASA would be farther along. Both Falcon and SLS are good options. Vulcan is promising, but Boeing is too screwed up now for my comfort, so we’ll see.

This is why I don’t know why people are excited about SpaceX launches. Did you know Jeff Bezos owns Blue Origin, and he bought The Expanse so they wouldn’t cancel it, and so he could continue watching it because he loved it so much. What do you think is going through his mind there? It’s scary. These people are so evil.

Commercial solutions end up costing more for high stakes and high cost space programs. They basically just made NASA a corporate subsidy for giant corps and parasitic billionaires. This push for commercial partners to do everything has already bitten them in the ass, but since all their greedy corpo buddies get lots of money, they’ll just continue to run the agency in the ground until it does nothing. We’re almost there, too, with Trump cuts out in full force.
Just remember, NASA was amazing until politicians started fucking it up. Politicians caused Challenger to explode, too.

It will also kill any incentive to buy an android phone. Seriously fuck those people.
- Comment on Trump says TikTok should be tweaked to become “100% MAGA” 4 weeks ago:
I love how we’re all fucked because boomers will never die. Honestly, Gen X has a lot more folks that let us down. It doesn’t matter the generation really. I know a pregnant gen Z, and all I can think about is how her kid, according to the popular generational theory, is going to be the next cycle of boomer. That’s probably why many young gen Zs are a bunch of little assholes. But then she was a screw up, and my gen, the millineals as everyone knows works harder and is still called lazy and had our own screw ups. Generations are what they are but having no chance at happiness due to the rich controlling every goddamn asset is a new kind of fucked we all have to endure.

I think I will read this article. I am interested in what society can do to help these young men.
- Comment on Trump says TikTok should be tweaked to become “100% MAGA” 4 weeks ago:
Let’s see how many of Gen Z Americans get off TikTok after it becomes more of a propaganda machine. I wonder how European kids feel about it. They went through Covid and missed part of an already terrible education. So now they have no idea that they are just being programmed to be a bunch of assholes. I think it will work. If we don’t find a plan to do something, we are in bad shape. We need Project 2029.
- Comment on Trump says TikTok should be tweaked to become “100% MAGA” 5 weeks ago:
I wonder if gen Z has media literacy. I am expecting approximately 0% to discontinue TicTok as result of the acquisition.

This is true. Laser Doppler Vibrometry and Atomic Force Microscopy are two legitimate examples of using lasers near your eyes while sober.

Been using Linux for 20 years. Never had this issue. Maybe I just did not notice due to the expectation of people being shitty in general.
- Comment on Too soon? 1 month ago:
Our citizenry is headed right toward authoritarian dystopia. I think what we have in store is worse than death. If you were trans and black right now, you would not defend them. They are causing anxiety and suffering, and they absolutely do not care about the Genocide in Gaza. This surveillance state, widening inequality, constant war, rampant racism, homophobia, and everything else they are doing will destroy us all. We have no future. That is sick to me. Psychopaths win every time. These will too. I am just holding off until I need to die.
