reflecting on a year of
Tankies online will just post really offensive stuff about purges and genocides. Maybe occaisionally try to espouse some bunk authoritarian marxist prophecy.
Tankies in person just straight up work as volunteers for the police in hi-vis safety vests. More rarely they will fully commit to the online dweeb bit and pick some genocider cosplay like a Khmer Rouge officer's outfit with the swastikas on it. Or a stalinist era soviet roleplay costume.
Tankies got Aaron Schwartz arrested at a protest I went to this year for burning an american flag. People think that complaining about them is inconsequential when they turn in our people to the fucking cops!
Fuck tankies! Fuck authority! And fuck antisemites!
We DID get a new time zone!
Chile's Aysén Region moves from -04/-03 to -03 year-round, joining Magallanes Region. The region will not change its clocks on 2025-04-05 at 24:00, diverging from America/Santiago and creating a new zone America/Coyhaique.
People need an explanation for your niche domain or subcommunity specifix knowledge. Has everyone forgotten this? The internet is not a font of perfect total information. Where do we go to learn more? What did you mean by this?
I keep running into this more and more. Like that xkcd: https://xkcd.com/2501
Download and search YouTube subtitles and auto captions
A helpful thing for making YTP style edits is to download the captions for the source material so you can find timestamps of words really easily by opening the subtitle file as a text document. But this is probably a useful skill for more serious pursuits too. Use yt-dlp with the flags --write-subs or --write-auto-subs to get the video subtitle file. Very useful trick!
YouTube has just changed its rules to allow hate speech against gender minorities 😞

If you currently publish on YouTube, please consider putting your videos on PeerTube instead or as well:

Your audience doesn't have to be on PeerTube themselves. They can follow and interact with PeerTube from within Mastodon etc, and they can even follow PeerTube from podcasting apps such as Apple Podcasts.
