It is a collaborative notes taking app that takes pride in supporting Nazis

    I saw that a couple weeks ago when I was looking into note taking software and decided to go with Joplin instead (though even besides that I think joplin is a better fit for me)

    The presence of a “getting your message put on bombs to blow apart the ‘enemy savages’” industry, helping over open-internet social media to crowd-fund a live-streamed proxy war is something that would have been eyeroll-worthy as too ham-fisted and over-the-top of a metaphor for the inhuman ethos of neo-liberal capitalism if put in a dystopia novel 15 years ago.

    Truly soulless and totally morally bankrupt, cannibalistic societies the western bourgeoisie have ushered in and preside over. Anyone and everyone who has engaged in something like this is beyond consideration and sympathy. It takes unfathomable depravity to participate in something like this. That large swathes of the western population don’t see this and immediately think “uh, what the fuck” at its very existence is a worse condemnation than anything their harshest critics could derive.

    i was doing an online class on Terraform and the page we had to visit to view important stuff about providers was slathered in ukrainian flag bullshit. Even the instructor’s video had it but he blurred out the flags

    last week I was looking up how to do some stuff with YT-DLP and found myself on a webpage covered in yellow and blue soliciting donations to the Ukrainian ?state? . (It wasn’t YT-DLP itself, but one of the zillions of downstream projects.)

    A few months ago I was shopping for a tiny electronics component, a few wires with certain connecting ports on either end. Was having a hard time figuring if it was the right one, so reading the the comments. Every 3rd comment is about this conflict. “FUCK THE RUSSIAN C—TS” I recall it in one comment.

    It’s so weird, I have never seen any political issue well presented among nerds.

      liberalism + a fair amount of ukrainian OSS contributors will do that. The russian OSS contributors don’t seem to outweigh them, or have long since self-selected out/been banned from western spaces, not sure which

        I seem to recall there having been lots of russians in FLOSS. I think they have a hard time contributing because they are blocked from a lot of platforms lately. I’ve seen a couple of project pages with notices saying that development is indefinitely suspended because the dev has too much logistical issues. Specifically something about 2FA from ?github not being deliverable to russian phone numbers. But that can’t be the whole story because you can easily enough use a TOTP app instead.

    The project claims to support Ukraine, but still has a README translation in the language of the evil bad country invaders. It doesn’t even have a heckin’ wholesome keanu chungus Ukranian translation. How odd. thinking-about-it
