I agree, but in order to effect change in an arms race, you need a higher power that deletes the arms. Otherwise you just lose the arms race and die.

I'm saying that at least for me it's very specifically for this reason. If I'm living near my friends I still see them often. If I'm not, I don't.

I've found it to be very obviously the case that the main reason this happens to me is that everyone is moving around all the time. People scatter to all corners of the country (or even the world) and time zones and travel times just m

Just because you have never personally seen a bug occur doesn't mean it isn't a problem. This very article is about how Tailscale frequently gets reports of them being hidden. And I personally have had the icons hidden. My work la

If the icons are just hidden and you can't find them in order to use the programs you have running, that's not "just working". That's broken functionality. Windows has solved this with the overflow menu for literall
