  • Man, Hungary has already implemented this law with the reduction of gathering rights. The government was campaigning along the lines of speeding past Europe… I guess they weren’t lying.

    I guess I am happy to see other countries facing similar threats, if only to realize that many Hungarians are just people like them, barely able to do anything in the face of such coordinated attacks.

    In Hungary it is more about ‘inside enemies’ than weeding out migrants. That propaganda doesn’t work anymore, because the government needs to bring in extra workers from the far east, as nobody local is willing to work for such wages.

    Stay on your toes and place your hate in the right place, if you need to hang onto it. They make it sound nationalistic, but I think it’s just plain old class war.






  • Naw, you’re right. There are still ways to get a decent windows experience, but it will fall to the domain of power users.

    I personally see MS not really caring about their windows users. With more than enough revenue from enterprise to keep them going for decades, they will lose grip on gamers and older casual users, who remember windows before the marketplace and preinstalled adware.

    With all the flavors of Linux (and a proper walled garden like Apple), I’m thinking Windows will follow Skype in the next decade or so.


  • Just based on all the usual hashing between EU and Hungary, this is closer to a stern look than tying funds to rule of law, if you take that as a spectrum.

    In a twisted way, I feel that these abusive laws will only quicken the downslide of the Fidesz regime. One of the main reasons they are still kicking aroubd is that they are magnificent in non-confrontational control. Any and all protests so far, the popo were super hands off. They had civil uniform police who would get a bit handsy, but I’m not sure they were police or just the private army of the government (Valton security).

    So with all that in mind, if police start getting heavily involved in the protests, my money is on agression levels rising. While it’s horrible for the people, the government will lose any last remaining bit legitimacy they have.

    I really hope it doesn’t come to full-on aggressive confrontation. There’s a pretty decent chance Fidesz will lose their supermajority next year through the remaining, heavily kneecapped democratic institutions we have left. Exciting times.

    Civiles, Oktogonos bajszos szar/ goa tüntisori? Majdnem adtam interjút, de túl nehéz kérdést raktak fel.

    Szerintem nincs nagyon olyan, h okos tüntetés. A ventelés és a nemtetszés kifejezésének az eszköze. Én sem akarnám, h a Tisza-MKKP nagykoalíció adjon egy fikarcnyit a majdani békemeneteseknek.

    Vicces, h még átlépett vonalakban gondolkodom, de gyanítom, h Orbán nem tud a szokásos piszkos (de elfogadott) fegyvereivel győzni, és a nyomáshelyzés/manipuláció csalássá fajul. Pl az a kopaszos népszavaztatás a boltzárról, vagy mi volt. Ha erőszakos eszközökkel manipulálják a választást (a számok hamisítását is beleértve), gyanítom, h emelkedni fog a tüntések aggresszivitása.

    A vétóban is pont azt taglalták, h ki lesznek faradva. Amúgy nem aggódnék túlzottan a gyülekezési törvény felkoncolásán. Átlépik a pontot, és sok gyerektelen harmincasnak kb mindegy lesz, h böri vagy a hónapról hónapra maszatolás.

    Gyanítom, h kb most alakulunk át vmiféle tudatosabb, polgáribb társadalomba. Ha elkezdik elvinni az embereket, vagy rátriplázunk, vagy elvérzünk. Kár lenne most visszafordulni.
