Yet they chose to join EU, and then work against it?
Hungary was among the more progressive countries before the Soviet Union collapsed, so I still think it’s kind of Ironic they are now so backwards compared to many neighbors they used to be ahead of.

I understand your frustration, but the fault is not entirely hers, the real problem is that USA has a very flawed democracy, with only 2 realistic options to vote for, where better democracies have both more and better options.
The fault was also with the democrats and Biden and Harris for failing to realize they were in the wrong position morally.
I absolutely hate that “we” got Trump, but Ilhan Omar remains an ally against him, not an enemy.

By “we” I mean the world, because I am not American. But Trump has done a lot of harm outside USA too.

how many Ukrainians do you think Russia has trained to be extremely good at shooting a Browning M2 .50 cal heavy machine gun accurately

I’m guessing that considering Ukrainian military superior skills, 1 for each major city should be enough. 😋
OK just kidding, I get your point, Russia has made the entire Ukrainian population part of the war. Which makes Ukraine outnumber Russia even with a fourth the population.

You are 100% right, for example the original Shahed drones were pretty cheap, but now they need more sophisticated guidance systems so Ukrainians can’t take them down by spoofing them, and they are made faster to avoid being shot down. The result is that 1 new Shahed is almost 10 times as expensive as the original!
With the Russian economy becoming more and more stressed, it is getting harder and harder for Russia to scale up or keep up with Ukraine.
If EU manages to release the frozen Russian assets to Ukraine, Russia will be in a very dire economic disadvantage next year.

Also Ukrainians are innovating new more efficient and cheap systems, while Russia can only make better systems that are way more expensive. So new innovation seems to be better in Ukraine, despite Russia has both bigger population to draw from and a bigger economy. But the efficiency in methods in Ukraine are way way better than Russia.

It’s insane how Hungary persist in destroying their own economy for Putin.
When the old European eastern block countries were admitted into EU, Hungary was the richest of them all, now 21 years later they have become one of the poorest! And in GDP PPP Romania has now caught up with Hungary, that used to be way richer.

Same with Slovakia, since they split from Czechia to follow their more “socialist” which were actually just Russia friendly policies, Slovakia has fallen more and more behind.

AFAIK the 2 worst performing economies in EU, yet they stand by the old authoritarian corrupt traditions over embracing democracy and progress.

Thanks for archived link. 👍 😀

I don’t see how this can be viewed as anything but straight up murder.

Its decisions, however, are non-binding, as the U.S. has not ratified the treaty to enforce its actions.

The American way as usual, the country that proclaimed itself as the protector of democracy, is not a member of ICC with 125 member nations either, and AFAIK any of the stronger bodies that exist to protect democracy and/or human rights.

On the contrary USA has worked decidedly against such organizations!

Which distro has Factorio as part of the standard package system?
Seems like a nice way to save €32,-.

The USA now has death penalty just for being suspected of a crime without evidence.
USA is a rogue nation.

Allegedly it is a Russian tactic to try to exhaust Ukrainians for ammo!
The Russian cruelty is insane, not just against Ukrainian, but also against their own.

Haha I did that once too, because I had a system that when upgrading I wanted a separate home partition so I could just reassign it to my new install.

That’s actually worse, because that means she is straight up evil.

We’ve known for a long time that FIFA is corrupt as hell and has no morals, this is just another confirmation of that fact.

Several European countries and Canada have cut off weapon supplies to Israel because of Israeli war crimes.
So are those countries governments and courts watching too much tiktok too?

It’s very disappointing how far removed from reality American politicians with only a few exceptions are.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arms_embargoes_on_Israel_since_2023

Since 7 October 2023, several countries such as Italy, Japan, Spain, Canada, Colombia, the Netherlands and Belgium have ceased the sale of weapons to Israel.

This is yet another example of why many Europeans consider American politicians as extreme, often pandering American exceptionalism or outright denying reality.

I also use KDE, and it is far from minimal, but as I recall my system is only half that with a full system upgrade!
Some say creativity stuff takes much room, but for instance Blender is only ½ a gig.

But maybe my system is bigger than I remember, because even at 40 gig it’s near irrelevant compared to the size of an SSD today, and with 1 gigabit internet the upgrades are fast anyway.

IDK if there’s a way to see the size of my actual Linux install not counting 3rd party media or games?

76 GB packages from you Linux distro? Did you simply install ALL packeages?

22.8 GiB install size !?
WTF?

I must admit I don’t recall the size of my own installation, but that seems HUGE!
Anyways congratulations on getting it trimmed. 😋

Trump lies all the time, whether he needs to or not. So you can’t use obvious lying as a tell:

And that’s not what I’m doing, I don’t give a shit about what the lying toddler spews, but it’s not just Trump, it’s also memo’s from doctors, and white house statements.

Also everybody claims he has had at least 2 extra MRI’s this year. Nobody is mentioning any other form of scan that I have seen. AFAIK the MRI thing is a factual confirmed thing at least in 2 recent cases. There are rumors there are more, but those are not confirmed.

https://eu.usatoday.com/story/life/health-wellness/2025/12/02/president-donald-trump-mri-what-to-know/87566324007/

The White House released a statement from President Donald Trump’s physician that said the MRI scan Trump received during his physical was “preventative” and the results were “perfectly normal.”

That’s when we know for sure.

rhetoric resembling white nationalism

“resembling” 🤣🤣🤣
