Looking for recommendations!

Please recommend me software for note-taking that is:
- Local on my own system
- Open-source
- Community-run (ie. no LLC or whatever behind it, also not an LLC that claims to be 'non-profit')
- Non-commercial - I don't just mean 'free', I mean that the maintainers clearly oppose commercial exploitation

The project asking for money is fine, as long as the above requirements are met. Likewise, it doesn't have to be well-known or 'at scale' - small projects with a small community are fine too!

Please don't suggest things like "plaintext files", I'm looking for something that is actually designed for note-taking specifically.

And yes, there are specific issues that are *blockers*, in that it is likely impossible to solve the problem of fascism if you don't address those blocking issues.

That does not make them *causes*, and treating them as causes anyway means you're likely going to overlook *other* blocking issues.

I'm very, very tired of all the "this is why fascism is on the rise" political takes, which invariably try to flatten the whole issue down to a singular cause (a different one in each post), despite that being incredibly implausible with how complex people and societies are.

Like, it's okay to say "it's complicated" and start addressing the issues one by one, you know. You do not actually need to pretend that there's a simple answer, and doing so certainly isn't going to solve the problem.

The problem with thinking in terms of "security-critical" and "non-security-critical" to determine where security is 'important', is that adversaries know this too and so what actually happens is that they hack into your "non-security-critical" system and then use that to gain access to the super-secure security-critical one

I am still wondering, to this day, what actually happened there, how much of the criticism was genuine, and who exactly the false claims originated from and why.

I have my suspicions, but no data to back it up.

Thinking back for no particular reason to the US controversy among leftists about The Correspondent (one of the very few journalistic outlets in NL that actually did in-depth reporting on fascism and racism over the past decade), and how the discourse was completely littered with verifiably false claims about what had happened.

It really annoys me how basically every react-native related library contains duplicate implementations; one in Java/Kotlin for Android, and one in Objective C for iOS.

That's seemingly not the fault of react-native but rather of the design decisions behind these operating systems (and their corresponding devices), and I can't help but feel like as a field we've really regressed on interoperability with mobile OSes.
