The paradox of tolerance

I think tolerance is simply a liberal idea, and it's been a demonstrably exploitable one. The moment a reactionary says "aren't you supposed to be tolerant", I simply don't know where they're getting that from. I tolerate what I want, and the intolerant don't get to invoke my tolerance.

I mean, you don't have to buy it. You can buy whatever you want. Hacking stuff just to see if you can hack it is the majority of the motivation behind hacking in the first place.

Especially when products like the Macbook Neo is surprisingly affordable and offers a halfway decent build quality and performance for its weight class, it's nice to have something like Asahi to make it a real option.

That's why fascism is a death cult. Once you eliminate the outgroup, the only way to continue is to invent a new outgroup. The gene pool becomes as self-destructive as society itself. It doesn't have to make sense, it just has to validate to each ingroup individual that they're not the cause of the problems of the world.

We still don't have a good alternative for prepress production media. I've seen some workarounds, but Adobe is the only actively developed option feature complete for this use case. Mostly because the chances that prepress workers and offset printer operators are also FOSS fiends and developers abysmally low. Prepress is such a small industry too since most people don't really care if their print media looks like shit
