The stupid thing is that it's not even a law. IDK if there was even bribery involved.

It's just if you give the average state IT employee a switch that says "flip this to be more secure", 9 times out of 10 they will flip it.

This is just enshittification on the enterprise level.

That's a strawman and you know it.

Even just saying they condemn the kidnapping would have been enough.

And in the same breath Denmark buys 300 F-47s

Nothing organised but there are some people.

Don't expect to find unbiased reporting on this, the fact of the matter is someone who was likely her and her accomplices attacked and brutally beaten people who were most likely far right sympathizers going home from a Neo-Nazi-adjacent march to the brink of death.

The thing is though, US vendor locking is the same as Europe's, it's the Western common NATO standard.

The US is using German rifles, the F-35 is made with European parts. I don't think the US is economically able to directly antagonize the EU.

It doesn't rule out shenanigans with soft power, but Trump is actively shedding that.

I literally can't stop laughing at this, thanks.

The problem is that it's becoming less and less of a possibility, and more and more of a hassle, since everyone else, including our dear elected governments build shit with the expectation you engage in the big tech ecosystem.

I've been using e/OS, which is an Android fork maintained by a Danish university, so Google stops messing with my phone. I've made the switch after realising that when I wanted to restart the phone (was urgent at the time) the power button has been remapped to AI.

Yet, after moving to Denmark, I realized that the government ID service specifically disallows that fork and enforces using Google Android. The Danish government trusts Google over leading Danish universities.

Living without that ID thing on my phone would be possible but would require me to do tons of personal appointments with different companies, including banking, phone contracts, internet, public transit and so on.

I don't see this as that.

My reading is that "I want to touch my GFs butt but I won't since she'll get mad, but I really want to".

Nothing wrong with really wanting to. Maybe don't call your SO a bitch though.

 

So since Google and Meta banned political ads, the Hungarian government is trying different ways to get election ads to the people, since at this point they are going to lose and very possibly prosecuted for various crimes like embezzlement and child rape.

The booming disembodied voice is saying (my comments in parentheses):

Twenty years ago at Röszke (southern border town of Hungary), something happened that we can never forget. Hordes of migrants appeared on the border, not with good intentions, not with papers, not with requests, but with stones, sticks and violence. They didn't ask for admission, they tried to break through the fence. The defenders of our country opposed them, stopped those that didn't respect our laws, borders or our homeland. We didn't retreat, we defended Hungary, but the fight has not ended. Brussels is fining us 400 million forints daily because we don't want to let aliens in. But there are those that would give in to Brussels and would let migrants in. We see where this led in Western Europe...

The recording cuts away here.

We now live in security. But only one bad choice/election (the word means both in Hungarian), and there goes our peace, and our security as well. One bad choice/election, and we will also become and immigrant country. Get to know what we could lose on "rosszvalasztas.hu" (badchoice/election.hu).

 

Hey, these photos were taken in Hungary today, aerial refueling of F/A-18E Super Hornets as seen from the ground.

And here are some extra courtesy of the same guy, from his friend who works as a refueling tech.

 

The POV presented in the article is one POV in Hungary, the country is divided on the issue but mostly does not care beyond a small minority.

People cite the band shouting "Up Hamas, up Hezbollah" on this concert as justification for the ban.

 

I know it's not the best source, but all the relevant news from outlets that are not outright Russian disinfo are only in Hungarian.

These are trusted, well read and researched articles in Hungarian if you want to check:

Leaders such as Trump and Orbán could only be effectively opposed, she said, by ditching a “legalistic, technical, technocratic approach” in favor of “something for the electorate to be excited about”.

 

Edit:
Internal headline on the page:
The 'strongman' PM who inspired Trump's playbook - but now finds his power crumbling

Headline from metadata and BBC's search is the one in the title.

Edit2: Changed headline to the apparently new one.

 

Length: 1:39:20

Immigrants, populism, border fences, electoral autocracy.

If you are interested about how and why Hungary is as it is, this is a documentary just released by Partizán, the most viewed Hungarian news outlet independent from the Hungarian government.

The subtitles are not autogenerated but hand-made by the news outlet.

The outlet has a decidedly leftist slant even by European standards, but are considered mainstream in Hungary.

 

So creating a new repo on GitHub, you get a set of getting started steps. They changed the default branchname to "main" from "master" due to its connotations with slavery.

When I create a new repo now, the initial getting started steps recommend creating a branch named "master" as opposed to "main" as it was a while ago.

It's especially weird since the line git branch -M master is completely unnecessary, since git init still sets you up with a "master" branch.

Disclaimer: I have a bunch of private repos, and my default branchnames are pretty much all "master".

Is this a recent change?

Edit: Mystery solved, my default branchname is "master". Thanks bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone !

 

I mean, he's not wrong, but apparently saying the quiet part out loud became a faux pas in Hungary recently.

It's not as pithy as Orbán's "Rosatom will buy it for me" about RTL Hungary though.
