oh, got it! I didn't have Mullvad enabled for this device, but now I can reproduce it. I'm betting this is going to prove to be a COSMIC bug, but we're now tracking it in github.com/tailscale/ta...

For now, "More Settings" will open the web client, which should work fine with Mullvad if you need it
client/systray: can't open Mullvad exit node menu on COSMIC · Issue #17879 · tailscale/tailscale
The "Mullvad VPN" submenu under "Exit Nodes" displays, and it has an icon indicating that it's a submenu, but when you click it the entire exit node menu just closes. It's possible this is just a C...

hmm, that's not great. Does the "rebuild menu" option fix anything by chance? What distro and cosmic version are you using? I have a PopOS 24.04 VM that I use for testing, and I can't currently reproduce this yet, though the giant profile image problem still seems to be there (a known issue).

Remember that pangolins have both tails and scales! :)

note the date on the blog post... 2023. Amélie the pangolin has been Tailscale's mascot from pretty early days, though we've never talked about her very much publicly. The earliest welcome emails were addressed from her.

It's unlikely that it would actually be deleted, but we did have a recent login issue that impacted a handful of users that might make it look that way. If you can email support@tailscale.com with more details we can definitely look into it. (let me know if you do, and I'll go find your ticket)

oh cool! My dad and his dad are/were both Eagles as well. Not sure how that never came up in conversation with you. Trying hard not to push my boys too hard, but I'd really love for them to be 4th generation Eagles.

same as others said... native LSP, Treesitter, Lua support is amazing. New generation of neovim-focused plugins are really great.

I took the couple of weeks before starting at Tailscale to make the switch, and I'm so thankful I did.

where did you see this copy?

which sorta begs the question... why did we put the logo on the bottom?

Very cool! Was Arc able to automatically find golink's opensearch description, or did you have to configure it manually?

The crowd in Temecula wasn't HUGE... probably a few hundred. But given how very pro-Trump this region generally is, it was certainly more than I expected.
