Tailscale is so great. When GitHub launched, it took a complex, powerful, and difficult to understand open source tool (git) and made it approachable and useful to mere mortals.
Tailscale is doing the same with WireGuard. Its very well done.

Today I finally got the decision from the USPTO: it was rejected, because they decided that the name was too confusing with \u201cSock Puppet Parody\u201d (a band which has only been releasing since 2014 and is one of the sources of confusion, and they had registered a trademark in 2016), and they didn\u2019t accept my evidence of my release history. They provided examples of acceptable evidence and they were all things like music production companies' portfolio websites.The USPTO suggested that if I want to challenge this decision I should hire a private attorney, but I don\u2019t have that kind of money right now, and it\u2019s also not the sort of thing I want to spend a lot of money on going forward. I was just hoping to have an actionable way of asking other bands to kindly not step on my toes by releasing music under the name I\u2019ve been using since 2007.Is it worth pursuing this further, and if so, how should I go about doing it? Given that I\u2019m trying to make more of a living off of my music, this feels like something I shouldn\u2019t simply abandon, but I also don\u2019t want to go deep into debt in order to tilt at a windmill, either.",

Some folks in the movie/TV pundit space have been praising the past success and current actions of CEO David Zaslav.
The more news that comes out, the more skeptical I become. 🤨
Good to know just based on who I am, I won’t be able to work at Warner Discovery. God this company just took a big u-turn into the toilet so quickly. Enjoy your shitty ...
