🥶🍑!
But no, that peach has been thoroughly thawed.

lol, is that this “small government” and the oh so free market that we keep hearing so much about?

Love the image of wheeds just popping up all over your garden where you don’t want them.
It’s a great metaphor for the “HEY, TRY THIS NEW THING!” shit microsoft pulls.

Additionally much software (and hardware even more) primarely targets windows as a platform. The way printers mostly “just work”™ on Linux still amazes me, because printer vendors have all the incentives to make their stuff work for the most used platform, which sadly isn’t Linux right now.

Don’t worry, we need more of those too. <3

Then you’d have 0 dollars because they aren’t dorks. They’re nerds and we need more of them. ¯_ (ツ)_/¯

Not yet…

Full disclosure: I ran manjaro as a daily driver for a while a few years back bad have been forced back on windows as well by company policy. So I’m not going to be the ultimate authority to answer your questions.
All I wanted to comment is that with iTunes and Office you have picked two pieces of software by two companies that have a very strong interest in not letting you migrate away from them. I tried to migrate my gf’s password manager from the iCloud one to bitwarden and it’s amazing the hoops they make you jump through to get at your data. So what you might be experiencing right now is a thing called “vendor lock”, and I wish you the best of luck for finding a way out. ;)

Love the Cave Johnson quote in the readme that just preempts any of those pesky “why” questions.

Have a look around…

Yeah, I remember the first time I saw the :// thing I felt myself having a little design-gasm.
This doesn’t touch the same spot for me…

Thanks for this island of cute happiness among all the doom and gloom. This is nice.

I also try to say “look it up online” as much as possible in stead of Googling it.

The makeup is actually kinda cool. It could symbolize that you are deeply upset (hence the lines coming from the eyes like tears) about the divide (the white line down the middle) between the parties (red and blue tears for Republicans and Democrats respectively). All while using red, white and blue to represent the country overall. It’s good graphic design.

Their hats tell me that that was not their thought process, though.

Is the youtuber Investor Linus (tech tips)? If so, what are his controversial politics?

But that’s how the “contract” explanation “solves” the paradox. Nobody is inherently tolerant. I’m just tolerant towards you because our social contract ensures mutual tolerance. One “clause” of the contract is however that I don’t have to be tolerant towards you if you breach the contract with anyone else. Or in other words, if I see you being intolerant, I have the right to be intolerant towards you, too. Whether I’m “obliged” to be intolerant towards you is another question, but you could construe it as another “clause” of the social contract.

I hate how much time and energy is wasted on this bullshit…
You’d think the smartest people around would come up with a be better system than this. I mean they did, but some of the highest decision-makers have big incentives to keep things as they are. So mark that one more on the “capitalism ruins everything it touches” scoreboard.
