It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

It is a collaborative notes taking app that takes pride in supporting Nazis
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. 
Don't look at the opinions of the dev behind Notepad++!
It's pretty funny how the only causes he care about are the ones cemented in redditcore pop culture like the HK protests, Russia's invasion, or other anti China stuff. He doesn't even care about defending Israel or calling out the Taliban lol. Just straight babybrained key jingling shit.
That's pretty funny you can easily deduce where he gets his info and that he doesn't venture out of it, without any knowledge of the person's habits, due to the level-of-interest and/or censorship regarding these topics on reddit vs wider media
Techbro fascists? Many such cases.
I seriously switched because I was fed up with the choice of messaging. Xnedit isn't great, but it does have a delightfully 1994 aesthetic.
I switched like 7 years ago because their idea of linux support is "just run it in WINE" (and notepadqq is not a great substitute)
fuck that noise
What are you using now? Every few months I go on a binge of trying new text editors and file managers.
two things: I changed my workflow to be less centered around a text editor (I used to use it as a scratchpad for notes on what I worked on each day and for how long, and todo items), and for actual text editing tasks I learned vim and other CLI tools better.
Honestly notepadqq is fine, but my workflow with using it as a scratchpad didn't work because it's auto-save and recovery was not as seamless as np++. If you don't rely on that to the same degree I did and have an unstable, poor battery life laptop, then it is probably fine.
My issue was it only autosaves every x mins and then rather than auto-recovery on startup (aka just picking back up where you left off), you had to click through a "do you want to recover these unsaved files" dialog every time, which for me was 80% of the time when I rebooted my laptop. And there was a very annoying bug where if you had a crash, out of battery, etc. where notepadqq didn't get cleanly shut down multiple sessions in a row, the "do you want to recover" dialogs wouldn't get cleared out each time, they would multiply and pretty soon I was clicking through dozens or more before it would open and then manually saving, closing, and reopening, to clear out the "queue" or whatever or recovery files.
millions must switch to org mode
Symfony is doing this too and they even have it spam your console when you run any compose scripts.
Also the Debian 3rd party php repo guy blocked downloads from Russia
I don't know what's going on in the PHP community but it needs to stop
I don't what's going on with PHP but it needs to stop
Actual professional for money devs from CIS use VPNs to Poland or some other country
It's still dumb that doing that is necessary for apparently free and open source software
remi?
sad day
No, Ondřej Surý

Ah, so it's two PHP packagers being libs, got it
I literally didn't even know ahead of time I was just thinking of the only PHP packager I knew. It's just that prevalent
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 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)
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.
Very common obsidian win
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
