  • Just to weigh in here with a bit of political nuance — “tankies” are certainly defined by their leftist politics, but moreso by their apologist defense of regimes that more or less transparently use socialist or communist maxims as a cover for state capitalism or straight out autocracy.

    Tankies may be the loudest voices to claim themselves Marxist or socialist, but please don’t mistake them as actually representing those ideologies truthfully or completely. Personally, I see tankies as more indebted to a cold war-style school of Soviet dogma transplanted to current autocracies. Marx and Trotsky would have rolled their eyes at either.








  • Pandoc, for sure. I love its versatility, it’s made it super easy for me to do most of my writing in markdown — and a lot of MD editors have it built-in as an export feature.

    But I use it too rarely to know the CLI commands by heart, and sometimes it would just be super helpful to open a GUI and batch convert (and/or collate) a bunch of files to a new format.

    Tell you what, throw Imagemagick and maybe a light OCR backend into the package as a Swiss Army Knife for document management, I’d probably be happy.



  • A quick look in the modlog shows that less than a year ago moderators deleted a post you wrote called

    Reddit is dangerous. The admins are out of control. Humanity needs a viable alternative. – Blog covering the Reddit admins retaliating against me

    (The emphasis is mine)

    Looks like you have a history of writing inflammatory posts, feeling persecuted about them being removed, and then going off on rants about it.

    Some people may take a dump in public spaces, but don’t call for changes to civic statutes so that their shit can be preserved for perpetuity. Please follow that example.
