  • Wikipedia

    Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof. More specifically, the term has been applied to those who express support for one-party Marxist–Leninist socialist republics, 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 liberal and right‐wing factions as well.

    The only time I've seen it be applied to anarchists is when Reddit libs don't like anyone left of them doing stuff like protesting, but normally the Wikipedia definition is how I see the word used.

  • uh no they're not? Anarchists are about as anti-government as it gets

    Edit: unless you mean liberals can't tell the difference between different leftists

  • I've seen a lot of anarchists on Hexbear, lemmygrad is explicitly ML though

  • Privacy Guides still recommends fucking Brave browser? Brave analyzes your data on your device for ads, which is better than sending it off to Google, but actual privacy browsers don't analyze your data at all, and their CEO is a piece of shit.

  • What about open source jobs and funding? Since it seems like most of them come from either FAANG or government unless my research is wrong.

  • You need to run bleachbit on all that

  • Hey do you want to go get some pizza after work? BTW I love this new messenger called Lemmy, I feel so much safer that we're not being spied on! C ya

  • Not anything super interesting at mine, basically everyone there was a Christian nationalist Fox News Republican and I got sick of being exclusively around people who were constantly promoting stuff that would criminalize and erase people like myself and didn't give a shit about anyone outside of their immediate community. For LGB it was a "love the sinner hate the sin" mindset though so it could have been a lot worse (although it's still considered basically the worst sin you can possibly commit aside from murder and worthy of the death penalty). For T though the environment was more hostile, I heard there was one person who came out as trans and was quickly expelled. Aside from that they taught stupid shit like dinosaurs still exist and the government is hiding them from us and dragons exist as well. Glad to be out of that shithole.

  • Unless you go to a Christian high school, then it sucks

  • As someone who is extremely hands on and learns basically nothing from lectures, this actually sounds like a decent idea if it is executed well, especially the Khan Academy integration. I'd rather just sit down and read a textbook and do practice problems and be graded on them than be stuck in a lecture for 7 hours only to have to relearn everything anyways because I lose track of what's being said in like 5 seconds of the lecture starting.

  • RCS is shit, with SMS at least my phone comes with a messenger and I can download one from F-Droid. With RCS only one proprietary app supports it and it functions weirdly on GrapheneOS. In its current state it's practically a downgrade at this point and considering how bad SMS is that says a lot.

  • I use Kagi and uprank non-shitty sites. I think there's also uBlacklist or uBO filters that can remote shitty sites.

  • I'm in Dallas and it fucking sucks, tons of suburban sprawl, tons of roads but public transit is barely functional and hard to design efficiently, a lot of the roads don't even have sidewalks or they just randomly end, the roads are designed in a way that promotes aggressive driving making it even more dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians, the local business scene here is depressing outside of restaurants and entertainment but there's like 20 Walmarts.

  • I'm gonna upgrade to the 0 TB hard drive pretty soon so everything stops using up so much storage

  • Aren't there places in Europe that do Street then Address # then City (I have to do this for OSMAnd)? That's just as cursed as Month Day Year

  • it has a gui installer (i use arch btw)

  • My friend on acid walking into a building and then making the absolute loudest most evil sounding laugh imaginable that echoed throughout the entire area
