  • they’ll confidently think that my grandma is being paid by the CIA or something similar

    Maybe but it’d be good to counter their arguments to others who are watching/reading when they bring up their “sources” I for one would link back to it constantly lol

    But just for having recorded her experience of how it was living under the USSR dictatorship could be worth.

    This was mainly my reasoning, beyond having something to shove in the tankies face, just having that recorded bit of history from someone who lived it would be invaluable to both the general public and for personal sentimental reasons for yourself





  • The literal definition of Tankie is supporting USSR tanks being sent for regime change/suppression of eastern Europe post war.

    Dude, language is constantly changing, word definitions change and words can have multiple definitions. We all know what the historical definition is, but it does not have bearing on the current modern day definition. “Gay” used to mean happy, and it still technically is but it’s now a secondary historical definition in the modern day. Same with Tankie.

    That US/NATO has continued its demonic diminishment of Russia after this point, including nazi coups under fake liberal colour revolutions in Georgia and Ukraine, does not make anyone opposed to the stupidity and demonism of empire overreach. You supporting demonic nazis for diminishment of others (and Ukrainian population including nazis) is the problem

    LMAO yes yes poor poor Russia I’m sure Putler is actually a really nice good guy just trying to fight against the evils of the world!!!

    baseless accusation of calling humans tankies

    Oh but lobbing “shitlib/libtard” or “liberals” as “dehumanizing pejoratives” is ok?



  • You’re on .world, you’re isolated from the worst of the Tankie Triad (Hexbear and Lemmygrad), .ml admins in an effort to avoid larger calls for defederation like with hex and grad, try to do things far more subtlety through mod action or in action (e.g. removing comments and posts critical of their favored Authoritarian regimes but allowing known propaganda outlets from those Regimes to fester and spread)

    Just a few days ago, for example, a users comment was removed and then banned for calling the USSR a Dictatorship and North Korea a monarchy using one of 2 “catch-all” instance rules they use to justify the removal of any speech they don’t like (Rule 1 is “officially” no bigotry and Rule 2 is “officially” Be respectful)

    and there’s much much much more on [email protected] documented

    The posts “complaining” about the tankies are mostly from users like slrpunk or .ee that don’t defederate from the Triad and thus are exposed to it far more often




  • It does look like there has been major improvements since the last time I tried this kind of shenanigans. Which admittedly has been many years, these days I just don’t bother with dual booting so I’m free to just use the native FS wherever needed for the OS I’m using OR I have an intermediary like a SAN or it’s on a VM or something

    Still though, using a non-native FS in this manner is always more headaches than it’s worth, the no journaling is a corruption risk true, but so is using a non-native FS just in different ways lol

    IMO, the use case for this drive is storing re-downloadable data is perfectly fine for exFAT, worst case it corrupts and you have to redownload games from steam


  • NTFS support on Linux has never been good, iirc it still mounts NTFS as read-only by default. You can remount it as R/W, but it isn’t exactly recommended

    If you absolutely want to share the steam library between windows and Linux, id recommend either a second disk formatted as exFAT or a new storage partition on the same disk formatted as exFAT

    The key here is exFAT, one of the best options for cross-OS compatibility

    Edit: @[email protected] I just saw your reply to someone else in the thread that your steam library is on a separate drive already

    So that’s perfect! Just move everything off it temporarily and format it with exFAT filesystem and you should be fine
