I tried a Samsung phone a year or two ago. It lasted less than a day before I was so infuriated that I vowed never to use Samsung again. It is SO invasive and pushes so many ads and bloatware.

Headscale is a locally hosted version. You can also just manually do wire guard. But tailscale is just a management tool for setting up an overlay network using wire guard.

Those terrible, illegal, dangerous criminals doing the most dangerous thing ever… Using the legal system and going to courts.

Paradox of Tolerance

It sounds a bit catch-22. They are struggling with having enough fresh water so that maintaining greenery can be difficult if not against watering restrictions.

During the drought different neighborhoods are only allowed to water their lawns/outdoor plants on prescribed days of the week. Not that it’s particularly enforced, but it’s often there.

Avatars aren’t info. They just clutter the screen. They very, very rarely are interesting. At worst, they show something inappropriate. They require moderation. They don’t match any aesthetic of the site.

I literally didn’t know they were supported and never see them anyway.

I have a 4k monitor, and some sites I still have to zoom out. I’ve gone through and set all my settings to small text, no UI scaling. But shit is fucking huge.

I think part of it is tablets and phones. Big areas for people’s fingers to touch.

I firmly want the computer to do what I tell it to do. Not assume what I want.

The standard was if you wanted to do something with the text, you’d right click. Don’t arbitrarily change the UX in a non-standard way.

It’s kind of screwed to say. But a lot of people entering the work force grew up with phones and tablets as their main computer. It’s the mind set they have that everything uses touch interfaces.

I’m not saying everyone or even most, but for a good portion it’s their default computer experience.

End user management.

Essentially, accounts and passwords are not my problem.

Setting up a server? Pretty darn easy.

Teaching all your friends and relatives to figure out what app to use and login with your dyndns random entry or IP address. Or even more difficult, using VPN.

It’s not the hosting that’s hard. It’s the watching for non-tech people.

I personally think a lot of it starts with search.

A search engine that discards the SEO generated stuff by default. That discards web stores unless you are specifically looking for products to buy.

It’s terrible to say, but most internet is curated now by search engines and social media.

Then realize most internet content does not require engagement. We don’t need comment sections on everything. We don’t need a button to share (because you can always just copy the URL)

Then social media needs massive regulation, but for most people that’s going to be like getting someone off crack. They’ve made it addictive. Social media should be private by default but that almost defeats the purpose.

Fuck telegram. I get so many spam messages there.

Everyone’s definition of attractive is different, but typically everyone wants their partner to be both loving and attractive. It’s the “full package.”

So they care because they want you to have both, they want the best for you. So long as you find him attractive, that should be good enough.

People wildly underestimate how good modern cars car be. While driving across country in my gfs accord we ended up on a gravel mountain road for several miles. It was so much damn fun, but she was anxious the whole time saying how it wasn’t designed for it.

It was a wide, maintained road. We could easily go 35 to 40 mph. It would have for 4 or 5 cars side by side and the whole time we were on it we saw only like 6.

What “free stuff?” You mean the things I PAY TAXES for?

I still use one whenever I drive my father’s car. It’s Bluetooth connected now, which does mean I have to charge it, but since phones removed the headphone jacks… /Shrug

I mean, look at airplanes and their autopilot and especially their auto landing systems.

I think autonomous driving is limited by the quality and maintenance of rural roads, dirt and gravel roads, and the edge cases like going through drive thrus. Or really doing anything that isn’t “drive on road from a to b.” We use cars and trucks for all sorts of things in all sorts of places that aren’t “roads.”

If I eventually end up on a fully self driving vehicle, I want it to be better than what you and I can do with our eyes.

Is it possible to drive with just stereoscopic vision, yea. But why is Tesla against BEING BETTER than humans?

Algebra came easy to me. I came to realize even in elementary school we were doing algebra even if they didn’t use that name. Simple arithmetic like 2 + 5 = ? Is algebra if you think of the ? As X.

Then it’s 2 + ? = 7.

After that, at least to me, it’s order of operations and just moving things around.
