@lucyhargreaves4 Would be nice for sure. But I feel like ArriveCan cost us more than this? Maybe they can add this as a feature 😅

@karrisaarinen @linear Bienvenue!

[Salvatore D'Agostino @gimli]

@elithrar @OpenAI Congrats sir!

@zeeg Not sure what condition it’s in or if it’s the S/GTS. But pretty sure that’s very much below market. Dealer offered me 70K CAD for my 2023. Why not try to sell privately?

The Senate is expected to take up second reading of Bill C-22 this fall.

@Apple, @Windscribe, @Tailscale, @signalapp, and more are sounding the alarm about what it could mean for user privacy. 🔒

[Corey Quinn @QuinnyPig]

Tailscale remains one of my absolute favorite products.

Me then: “I don’t get why this beats Wireguard for connecting my two computers together.”

Me now:

[Tailscale @Tailscale]

Privacy and security are central to the technology we build. That’s why we joined other Canadian and European tech organizations in a new letter outlining concerns about Bill C-22.

I swear this article is just a coincidence and we are not doing a fundraise. Not until October anyway

Also the article has a minor factual error. Actually our MAU has tripled not doubled in the last year

Your router’s built-in VPN is kind of like 3-in-1 shampoo.

Love the convenience, could do probably do without the tradeoffs.

Here’s what to consider before relying on a built-in VPN for remote access 👉 https://t.co/eWqFNmrVhQ

the most important part of doing a startup is having fun. it’s very hard to beat people who are enjoying it.

[apenwarr @apenwarr]

Happy weekend everyone! I paid Sol $50 to make a fork of Swiftfin (iOS Jellyfin client in Swift) that has Tailscale built in. This makes it easier for your nontechnical family members to use (no VPN required).

Try it out! https://t.co/ictP0NyCjq

I can’t stress enough how little an idea matters compared to the agency of the people executing the idea.

I have had the privilege of knowing and sometimes even working with some of the most successful people (by various metrics).

The difference between mediocre and excellent work and outcomes is predominantly one of agency.

In practice this means: they dont wait for things to happen to them they go out and make things happen for them.

They don’t wait for someone else to do something, for someone to teach them, for someone to give them the path, etc. They just go out and find a way to do it.

I think the single biggest superpower these people have is the realization/belief that the world around them is completely mutable. Most everything that happens is because a person made it happen.

I used to tell people to look around the room you’re sitting in. Look at everything. Every noun. It almost all exists because a person willed it into existence. Nothing is stopping you from doing the same.

I see people online all the time dismissing someone else’s success because “I had that idea first” or whatever. I mean… yeah? If so then the difference is… you. So a bit of a self own whenever I hear that.

Number one tip: act with agency.

@pmarriott @TerryDiMonte @talkradiotommy 2023 was also “checks notes” after the terrorist attack. Those were terrorist attacks. Changing the definition after that fact doesn’t make it any better. If anything, it makes it worse.

[Salvatore D'Agostino @gimli]

@nectarios Depends on the context of the company I think. If you ever plan to see any US currency and do business at all in the US, then that’s a pretty good reason?

@Elk_Pilled @DickThorne1776 @elonmusk If every car had this then this wouldn’t be revolutionary.

Steer and drive by wire exist. But at least in the case of an emergency the driver can still stop the car.

In these transportation devices you really need to trust the maker to save your life 😅🙈

@dimavollo Taxes, Regulation, counterproductive incentive programs (all of them). Turn it all off, remove red tape.

@wesbos But everyone is a content creator now! Just like everyone is a developer now! As a society I feel like art form is dying and loosing its appeal.

[Wes Bos @wesbos]

I am begging you to stop using AI to write your video scripts.

Shortform content is becoming unwatchable and that's not even the crazy part

[Wayne Sutton @waynesutton]

Calling it now, @Tailscale will be one of the most important parts of the agentic tech stack. Once a non-tech workflow is embedded into existing applications, it's a wrap.

[Salvatore D'Agostino @gimli]

@KentonVarda Is the alternative for people to hand write their code? Or should they just leave the issues for the maintainers to manage?
