Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to communists who express support for one-party communist regimes that are associated with Marxism–Leninism, whether contemporary or historical. It is commonly used by anti-authoritarian leftists, including anarchists, libertarian socialists, left communists, democratic socialists, and reformists to criticise Leninism, although the term has seen increasing use by liberals and right‐wing factions as well.[5][6]
Typically people that get called tankies defend the USSR, or China, or any other authoritarian socialist government by saying that shit was either completely made up by the west, or say that “the U.S. does it too and worse”, or anything else to avoid acknowledging the human rights abuses that have happened under the authoritarian socialist regimes.
You can usually find them here in places like lemmygrad or hexbear. It’s a spectrum, some people side with Russia with the Ukraine invasion others think things like the uyghur genocide in Xinjiang is just capitalist propaganda.
Here’s a good example of Second Thought doing it, constantly comparing things to what the U.S. does, which obviously are bad but just because the U.S. does it doesn’t mean that China can get away with it: youtu.be/NhPOrkGbpxk
I’ve had mine since they launched and haven’t had any major complaints, I’d my Linux experience so far has been about same as on previous laptops. Though I will say that it does get fairly toasty.
Just wanted to share my experience with notesnook as a daily note taking and information organizer app. The free tier is fairly barebones but you can use it for simple stuff, but I’ll say that the paid $50 per year tier is really nice. I’m surprised at the polish and feature set for a OSS project from 2019 but it’s also...
Organization is limited so the free version has limited notebooks and tags to sort things around.
I payed for Obsidian and used it for the year, I can say that Notesnook’s sync is a lot more dependable than Obsidian’s, especially with syncing android notes with desktop. On obsidian things would always get overwritten or not synced properly. Also unlike Obsidian, Notesnook has built in todo list function out of the box which is a huge game changer for me. They also have reminders, in beta, but pretty usable.
How can you say that? $50 dollars is the same as Obsidian, half of Evernote, and the same as Joplin’s pro cloud tier. Why do I shill it so hard, because it’s the best option for me in the note taking app sphere and I really like it. Why do I knock down Joplin, because it falls into the FOSS trap of making people use something that needs to be configured to be usable.
On the free tier you have 3 notebooks, on paid it’s unlimited and yeah the notebooks are essentially folders. The way I have mine setup is a general notebook for a certain topic and then tags to subdivide; you can also assign colors to notes. Also I should mention, there’s a built in publishing / sharing feature that let’s you give out links for people to view your notes.
Stacked notebooks are still in the roadmap so it’ll take a little while to be able to put notebooks inside notebooks.
True, can’t knock you down for sticking with obsidian, it’s a really good app and like you said it’s already a bit more mature. The way I see it, notesnook is one of those things you keep in your back pocket when you need an alternative, like for me, when obsidian and Joplin started giving me issues and impacting my workflow I needed an alternative.
On some level I agree with you, though I’ve justified it by thinking about it as also a regular yearly contribution to the project that I would otherwise forget about doing while using something FOSS
What do you mean by background sync, like it syncing as a background service without needing to open up the app?
Unfortunately, nested notebooks are still in the planning stage but they are on the road map. It’s also something that I would really like to see added, but for right now since I get unlimited tags and notebooks and you can also select a couple of colors I’ve made a “tech” notebooks and made tags like "linux “lemmy” and things like that and then I can just stack the tags and if need be add a color to it to differentiate it further. I wouldn’t say that Joplin is bad just that leaves a lot to be desired and especially things that I really need for my day to day and just like that is integrated to notesnook. Right now they’re almost done with adding different app formats but nested notebooks is pretty soon on the list
I’ve gone that road and I’ll tell you that making a windows virtual machine is much less of a headache. I’d recommend using qemu/kvm over something like virtualbox because otherwise it won’t be very usable
Doesn’t track you like discord does to remain "free"
You audit the code for security and privacy issues
You can self-host or fork the code for yourself if you ever need to build a backup because some idiot decided to purchase the original revolt project and decided to screw with it
It has an open source license so the software can never be privatized, it’s essentially a public utility; for everyone by everyone
Our Story:
The Revolt project originally started back in 2019 by a group of three students from the United Kingdom and the Czech Republic, looking for an alternative to the already emerging, closed-source chat platforms. Our main focus for the project was to create an open-source, completely compromise-free platform that offered all of the same features and competed against other chat apps
Revolt is made with collaborative effort, and if you like coding it makes it so if you can to try and code stuff to add custom functionality or plugins or whatever else. Like a public utility you can add to it and develop it communally, though in this case it would be a public utility serving a public with a population of just you. But because of the GPL license Revolt uses, it makes it so that you need to share your changes. Whatever form the source code takes, it remains a public utility until perpetuity.
