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: https://youtu.be/NhPOrkGbpxk

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]

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.

Also do you know what GPLv3 means? Open-source into perpetuity they can’t alter the license legally

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

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

It’s the gentoos or arch approach I don’t blame people for liking it but it doesn’t make sense as a default for everyone

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.

Used to use it until I found something better

Thank you

It takes 15 mins to make a stable and usable windows VM, also who buys windows licenses in a Linux community

I don’t do passthrough on my windows VM, since I’m not doing 3D work it still works with qxl

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
