Going to make a cheese-based parody of the game Blue Prince called Bleu Prince.

Hey @Mastodon! Since you're starting to work on exploring stuff like moderation tools and other features, could this be included in that too?

The number of folks who are okay with Framework laptops while also supporting anti-facist stuff is a great lesson about how much everyone lies to themselves all the time to get through the day.

(This is not a purity test but I preordered an MNT Reform Next which might not be as “powerful” a laptop as a Framework one but because I didn’t want to support a US company that believes somehow tech is not political. It always was, even when I got into paid programming in 1997)
