Emotional (he/him)

In this economy?

I love that idea

I’ve tried Etcher many times and I feel like I’ve had issues every time, unfortunately. I don’t remember the exact issues, but I recall both having problems with writing ISOs and with booting them. I would highly recommend Rufus instead, which has been much more consistent for me.

I’m not particularly worried about those vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, they are pretty common AFAIK, but at-least they pretty much only open a backdoor within whatever network you’re connected to, and can be mitigated with a VPN.

IMO, there’s much bigger reasons to be worried about RedNote than security or even privacy.

That’s been my experience too, unfortunately.

I do see that .ml has lots of regular users too, but in addition, the tankies are almost exclusively there.

I’m not an electrician, but I recall that this video explains it pretty well (along with other interesting things): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_q-xnYRugQ

I, for one, haven’t seen people over-using the word “tankie”, I haven’t seen people getting called tankies for the reason alone that they are leftists or even communists.

However, I’ve seen many tankies insisting that the word is meaningless or that it just means anybody on the left.

People I’ve seen using the word tankie have been surprisingly consistent about who they call a tankie: supporters of authoritarianism, especially Putin and the CCP.
