Nobody really expected global politics going down the drain as it does, either - just as South Park production stopped because there was no sense in parodizing reality when it’s weirder than what they could come up with

In short:

• In the beginning he won an election with supermajority, since than they changed election rules so it’s harder to get them removed (rules favor the single strongest party, so they can be beaten in 1v1 only, but the opposition has several parties)
• Many young people who had enough left the country, but it got harder to vote if you emigrated
• They introduced a public work program that local mayors use to threat people to vote for them
• Orbán realized that leaders in the EU stopped believing him, so he made new friends with Russia, Kazakhstan, etc
• He uses the only power he has - he can pose as the leader of an EU county legitimizing these autocracies, and
• vetoing EU decisions un favor of his New friends
• EU was created with a good faith, a county cannot be kicked out
• So the only lever they have is closing the money tap that would dry up his guild of thieves - that is happening right now

These are nice, but on the other hand there’s the case where you have a limited time slot somewhere and windows randomly decides that it’s time to update, pop up a window to upload your data to “the cloud”, reboot, and bang, you’re f*cked.

As far as I know there would be, it’s just that nobody is using them that way

Where’s enlightenment and windowmaker?

What I don’t get is why anything these guys are saying makes the news. It’s changing every day, and it’s always a lie. They know it, everyone else knows it, it doesn’t make any sense to write about it.

I don’t mind bashing Musk for a second, but as far as I know China follows a startup mentality with electric cars - the government supports the industry so they can sell cars below their actual price, and once they killed all their competition they can increase.

There’s no fair winning against this policy

One local news site wrote that it might be a mistranslation, and a poet from Leva got to be leftist poet. Can’t confirm personally, my Slovak vocabulary is 20 words at maximum

You can have a computer with multiple users, one prefers gnome, the other kde. Say, they also want to access the computer through cnc, but these are too slow for that, and one prefers windowmaker, the other enlightenment. It works just fine. You can run all these four at the same time.

But what do you do if that field is needed? A throwaway address won’t work as it’s easy to recreate. Buy your own domain and run a server?

I was looking for this comment. It’s unfortunate that Julia basically dies in the shadows of python, in some sense it’s much more logical, out at least f ing print and division doesn’t change between versions

I miss my E17 and windowmaker, when I had the time to fiddle with config files…

Use justtherecipe.com - it will not only cut ads, but also the sob story about the writer’s grandmother and how they kept this thing a family secret for exactly 137 years until now.

And Afghanistan was not available on that week?

Sure, there are transmitters without Bluetooth. I somehow preferred the SD card, as it would hold a few Gb of music and needed no internet connection. The only downside was if I was driving short trips only for a while, and it stuck with a 20-min long Deep Purple concert track every time :)

I think there was a 99% invisible podcast episode about that, it’s prison inmates. For some never-changed rule they are only allowed music on cassettes, so they are probably the target audience mainly.

Just a few years ago I had an old car with a cassette player/radio, and from time to time I enjoyed the cassette player with some leftover stuff, but in most cases I just used an FM transmitter

Yepp, I always wanted to have a login to a porn site verified with my ID and connected to my home address

Ebben Eastern Germany had a better solution: https://vezess2.p3k.hu/app/uploads/2016/07/trabi-700x467.jpg

Right, but for nonEU trips you have to exit the Schengen zone, which comes with passport control, I have no idea how one can avoid that

So, the thing is we can’t really predict CMEs. What we can do is observing them by satellites like SOHO or SDO (actually you can also check these data, check for jHelioViewer). While light indeed needs roughly 8 minutes to travel from the Sun, the ejected plasma is much slower than that, it travels at a comfy pace of 1000km/s or so. So it takes about a day to reach Earth (you can do the precise numbers as a homework or use Wolfram alpha to cheat), so from the observations we have roughly this time to do anything.
