  • Comment I replied to:

    had to discuss with admins of both sites.

    In her comment:

    I was told that you were thinking about moving to another instance. I offered my support if you decided to stay or to leave. And that was the last I heard of it, until one of your mods (possibly you if I remember correctly) told the community you were organising something with lemmy.world, and I had to hear that second hand. And then, when things were finalised and the decision to move was locked in, once more, I heard about it second hand, after your team made a public post, because no one from 196 could be bothered to tell me before posting.

    I wouldn’t call this discussion.









  • Than what is the connection if it doesn’t matter who proposed it? You said they are related because Hungary proposed it. Your two comments contradict themself.

    I know what these laws about I just wrote that the news about spying on OLAF came out on the same week is not really related to the other news. Shitty governments, mini dictators do awful things all the time, I know, I live in this, but they rarely reach the global news sites. Now 2 news appeared on international sites at the same time, that’s all the direct connection.

    Also that’s just my not fully related take that I like to differentiate targeted spying from mass surveillance. Both of them are terrible and shouldn’t happen but the goals and tools used for them are very different. This news is about targeted surveillance, and common folks doesn’t have to fear from such an intrusion, because the tools used hardly scale to more order of magnitude targets. This news is about wiretapping a handful of individuals, not about using laws to read all messages.





  • It seems like Cuck Lives Matter after all.

    Other alternative meanings:

    • PTB: Poorly Timed Boner
    • BPR: Ball Punch Recipient

    I wasn’t active on the AITA like subreddits, I only wandered there from r/all, and usually saw there only 2 acronyms: NTA and YTA or something like that. Maybe they had other ones, but the vast majority were these 2. And without proper knowledge it was clear, that they basically mean Yes and No. Here it’s not really straightforward, and not everyone uses them yet.

    I’m not against communities having borderline annoying and stupid rules, it’s just early yet, with few subscribers and most of the comments don’t use them. E.g. it should be a rule that all top level comments should start with these acronyms, I’m pretty sure everyone would learn these things quickly. On the aforlinked post from yesterday, only one of these were used, so I didn’t even expect it should be some local specific thing. If every second comment contained CLM,I would have figured out something special going on here, CLM is not just about the Cucks


  • Those two are not really related. Chatcontrol was tied to Hungary now, because it is the current head of EU, it cycles every half year between member states. And this news is about defending the knowledge about the local royal family, the Orbáns. This scandal also happened years ago, it was just revealed recently.

    The government also used Pegasus spy tool against journalists and opposition politicians, so it wasnt really unexpected.

    Hungary is not a true democracy since around 2014, Orbán changed voting rules in 2012, and he rules by decree since 2015, parliament is just theater. Elections will be in 2026, recent polls says a party has enough supporters finally, so it can change in 2 years. But there is some fear that he may change election rules again, so he can’t be voted out.
