The country, meanwhile, is the uncanniest Mr. incredible, but instead of black and white, it’s orange and white (We love Fidesz)

LudwigvanBeethoven ,

This is flipping amazing. UX beats big corps hands down, recommendations are greatly innovative. One little thing: can we have a back button? It’s a bit clunky when I have to go to the top of my browser every time I go back from a post. Other than that, it looks great!

LudwigvanBeethoven ,

A web app is just a fancy name for a dynamic web page. Change my mind.

LudwigvanBeethoven ,

Here’s the way: look at the little “crack” on the middle of the plug on one side (the vast vast vast majority have one) – that should be facing down. I haven’t used a vertical plug in a while but I think it faces left there.

For the forsaken anguish of God, microUSB, it’s reversed, so crack up.

LudwigvanBeethoven ,

Well first a new voting system would be required because Orbán, after winning in an unproportional system, decided to make the system even worse. So now, even if he only gets 45-54% of the vote, the same exact 68% supermajority is guaranteed.

LudwigvanBeethoven ,

Unfortunately not because of an even worse version of the worst voting system in democracies: Fucked Past the Post.

LudwigvanBeethoven ,

wait until you see the immense disproportionality of the Hungarian voting system. MMP sounds nice, but the implementation makes it possible for our beloved leader to lose the popular vote and win 2/3 of the Parliament. 48% to 67% of seats. Lovely, eh? That was 2014. Unfortunately our demagogue brainwasher has now convinced 54% of voters the last time. And he won the exact same 2/3 sup.majority.

LudwigvanBeethoven ,

Zwischen uns.

LudwigvanBeethoven ,

I think the left side scale is cm over 1m, so he would be 167cm, and the right scale is just a flustercuck.

LudwigvanBeethoven ,

Hungarian here. tf??? Tbf, basically everyone here says “haha the western dollar-media doesn’t understand our government/people/culture und und und”. Even Opposition voters.

Also, Orbán is only the third or second worst option. We also have actual Neo-Nazis in parliament, thankfully not yet to AfD/right extreme FPÖ levels.

LudwigvanBeethoven ,

No no, Orbán doesn’t want to be a dictator, he wants Fidesz to be the only party. You know this because he would hand over the PM post to Máté Kocsis any time and you know he would because Máté acted like a sack of shit in the pardon scandal.

But yes. The govt is bullshitting its way through being a dictator.

LudwigvanBeethoven ,

it’s SQL

LudwigvanBeethoven ,

Exactly. As in “if I were you”.

LudwigvanBeethoven ,

Did this sad blob of cells just say that illegal immigration is an invasion? Did he just quote a dissenting opinion as a basis?

What the actual fuck. This sounds like something Orbán would do. Oh wait, they like the sound of that…

What are your favorite fonts for technical reports?

I work at a consulting engineering firm and write a lot of reports that are read by the public. I have an opportunity to recommend a different font for all of our written documents and am looking for something more modern/fresh than Times New Roman. Also open to recommendations for purpose specific communities about...

Newer research actually says that it mostly doesn’t matter. Use a readable sans or serif, there’s no measurable difference.[1][2][3]

LudwigvanBeethoven ,

I really like me a good serif. Computer (Latin) Modern is very satisfying. Also, according to some research, it’s up there with the Helveticas and the Arials for readability. Note that 12-point is where serifs flourish (figuratively).

LudwigvanBeethoven ,

For young people, No. 1 is becoming pretty clear, although parents influence is a thing.

For a bit older people up to gen X, it’s “yeah sure but the opposition isn’t better” (which it is, but everyone is homophobic) or “playing two sides is smart” not realising how fucking cynical that is today.

For even older people, ie retirees, it’s that Fidesz ramps up retirement pay close to every election like a pet-owner playing with their dogs.

Note that what is now the Opposition had a speech recorded in 2006, where the party Leader, Ferenc Gyurcsány, openly said “We have lied through the last eight years” and “We fucked this [very vulgar version]. Not a little, [we’ve fucked this] a lot”. Orbán is obviously lying way more but he doesn’t say it out loud (Or is smart enough not to get it recorded).

If you want ice scraped off the pavement in russia, just write Навальный [Naval’nyy] on it.

LudwigvanBeethoven ,

nah, you can have 16+8+4+2+1 = 31 on one hand, and 1024+512+256+128+64+32+16+8+4+2+1=2047 on two hands.

As a Christian, I think like this: who am I tot tell you what values you should have? I have my (Christian) values, you can have yours. Anyone who goes against that is against freedom of religion.

How the hell did you get 0.5 cars going right on red? Did a car just plow through multiple houses between going straight and turning right at an intersection?

And today I learned that people should joke around more with statistics.

could some of you big brain people try and talk to the idiots who shout “BRÜSSZEL” at every issue here (Hungary)?

How bout piaffirmative

LudwigvanBeethoven ,

Fairly fucking sure this is a nothingburger like Art. 13-17 was, and will not break E2EE messengers.

The reason:

Encryption plays an essential role in securing communications. The international human rights law test of legality, necessity and proportionality should be applied to any measures that would affect encryption. Both the UN Commissioner for Human Rights[1]and the European Data Protection Supervisor[2]have concluded that the EU’s proposal for a regulation on child sexual abuse material fails this test[3].

A recent article published by Wired[4]described a European Council survey of Member States’ views on regulating encryption. In its response to the survey, Spain stated that there should be legislation prohibiting EU-based service providers from implementing end-to-end encryption.

Requiring platforms and device manufacturers to build back doors to facilitate law enforcement access would make everyone more susceptible to malicious hacking from criminals and foreign adversaries alike[5]. Measures allowing public authorities to access the content of communications affect the essence of the right to privacy.

1.Which encryption experts did the Commission consult when preparing its proposal for a regulation on child sexual abuse material?

2.Will the Commission revise its position on encryption in view of the opinions of human rights associations and experts?

3.Given the abuse of Pegasus, how will the Commission ensure that the fundamental right to privacy is protected if a Member State, such as Spain, decides to ban encryption?

So yeah, it is now established that forcing law enforcement on E2EE messaging services goes against human rights. glhf EUC

LudwigvanBeethoven ,

In Hungary, this is our finest art.

LudwigvanBeethoven ,

because (I firmly believe that) it won’t get passed. The Commission doesn’t have a majority yet, and it will be laughed out of the EUP. EVEN IF the EUP votes to pass it, the ECJ ought to step in, because the UNCHR and the European Data Protection Supervisor have already said that it goes against the (human(!)) right of privacy. There is no shot that this will get implemented by 27 member states.

LudwigvanBeethoven ,

This. My national news agency publishes corrections like in ye olden days with ye olde telex: separate issue

example would be:

CORRECTION - President denounces war in Israel

BULLETIN - President denounces war in Isral

listed separately, added in their own archives etc.

LudwigvanBeethoven ,

Hard agree. Our government will wreck the economy just to die on two hills: social conservatism (EU funding says hi) and russian reliance. Russian gas, russian atom (x2) because they want to build Paks II. They also gerrymandered the everliving fuck out of electoral districts so they can win their precious supermajority. I hope they fail on at least one of the aforementioned hills so they can drop the ball like the now-opposition did in 2006. As for communism, well, the 72% seems very wrong. Sure we had dictatorship-lite, but 1956 happened beforehand, to which we lost many of our schools for example. Plenty of (grand+)parents’ tales paint communism like it was the worst thing that could possibly have happened. Also, if 72% of people preferred communism, then surely the dem. socialist party would Poll higher than 3%.

Reminder that fidesz (the govt party) was originally anti-communist. (I am Hungarian if it wasn’t obvious).

LudwigvanBeethoven ,

God how hard it will be for people to realise how fucking stupid making more russian reactors and signing more russian gas contracts are. Our electoral system is in shambles^1^. social issues are overwhelmingly conservative here. The bigger green party is anti-gLObaLisM. The neo-na**s have the same amount of seats as green party number 1.

^1^: 2022: Popular vote: 54,13% Fidesz-KDNP; 34,44% United Opposition; 5,88% Our Homeland (neo-na**s). cf district votes: Fidesz-KDNP 87, United Opposition 19.

Mixed system so parliament makeup (199 seats) is 135 seats - 67,84% for Fidesz-KDNP; 57 seats - 28,64% for United Opposition; 6 seats - 3,02% for Our Homeland; and 1 seat for German national representation thing.

So yeah, shit’s fucked

LudwigvanBeethoven ,

As a Hungarian, I felt obliged to do some reading. Lo and behold, you are correct. And so, I would like to take this opportunity and say

Fuck '56 tankies, and fuck modern tankies. The paradox of tolerance holds true: if you tolerate these people’s deluded takes as ‘alernative viewpoints’, you move towards intolerance, whether you like it or not.

Listening to the Overture to Egmont as I write this.

Fellow Nobara user and man of culture, I see

LudwigvanBeethoven ,

I’m in the same boat, and KDE is quite buggy for me under Nobara, but I’m too lazy to maintain a rolling distro and I haven’t found anything yet that I like more.

LudwigvanBeethoven ,

You might have just made me search for a distro to hop to. I looked at OpenSUSE but then realised that software availability might just be a pain in the fourth point of contact. Why god why me

LudwigvanBeethoven ,

It’s another flight manual like the Eurofighter DA.7 last week (iirc).
