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.

No, he didn’t propose that, this process is ongoing since 2022, and originally it was proposed by Ylva Johansson a Swedish politician. More info on this proposal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation_to_Prevent_and_Combat_Child_Sexual_Abuse

As I wrote before, from 2024 July to December Hungary hosts the Presidency of the Council of the European Union. It means EVERY new legislation in this half year will be tied to this country. From January the host will be Poland, so you will read the same news not about Hungary but about Poland. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidency_of_the_Council_of_the_European_Union

That’s true that the host can decide what topics should be discussed but as you can see it didn’t passed.

Orbán is in the opposition in EU parliament, his party is in the group Patriots for Europe, as he was kicked from EPP, he was too far right for them. They are not part of the current commission (aka EU government) and they won’t get any positions there.

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.

They don’t show up there for obvious reasons. Also sites disappear frequently, or move to new domains. You have to use alternative ways, bookmark megathreads and other collections where some other people frequently update the links, something for start:

By the holocaust Germany lost all their colonies, after WW1, so again, I don’t how this is related here. Jews were living within Germany for centuries. And the point was it doesn’t matter in relation to other attrocities.

Russia was also a colonial power, and one of the last which is still one, ask a Yakut guy or someone from the northern Caucasus. So it should be also added there?

1614 is the older term in English: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu_quoque

And you are using it again. Because the term was coined by English oppressors, than it shouldn’t true… Always the same answer to everything, my beloved dictator/political system/whatever is not really terrible, because I can point to something even worse

Let’s see, “colonials are not as terrible, because what the Nazis did, and Jews were white people” Same as your reasoning.

While your points are true, here is an interesting and recommended reading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism

Is this an ad? because the image is coming from the website selling these pillows. But someone put watermark on it, on the store page there is no watermark: https://pawspromise.com/products/your-custom-pet-promise-pillow

So at least at one point this meme was an ad…

It seems they does not offer taxidermy, that would be awesome, create a pillow from your cat. But that’s the territory of World Around Ewe

I understand that there is double standard, but you miss out an important factor why the response is different: those missiles work by a different method.

You can see this in action, when Iran shoot their ICBMs some weeks ago, the reaction was similar like Israel’s bombings. I have a feeling, that if Israel would nuke Gaza, the reaction of the international community would be much more harsh, but I don’t want to give them tips.

I can see this meme is coming from the american teenagers’ instance, so I know they deliberately misunderstood this.

The erotical love of the local flag is a US only thing, noone cares about that anywhere elso on the planet. Do whatever you want with that cloth.

“Desecrecation” what a word.

It’s a bit fishy…

What is a Lemmy Original Meme? Is that you on the video?

Don’t get me wrong, I love it.

Edit: I found it this is the source meme: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/guy-slamming-credit-card

It’s been eons since I’ve seen those words.

ok it seems like this unhealthy strange flag mania is not a us only thing? I thought it exists only on the left side of the ocean, Who cares about this things. You waste so much time debating about unnecessary things

if you want to burn it, burn it, if you want to drop it on the floor drop it, and fold it the way you want. it’s just a fucking flag, a piece of cloth

How could they light that flag at all? There is this video of a guy trying to light an eu flag. But he can’t do it because of eu standards of making flags from inflammable material: https://files.catbox.moe/smydgl.mp4

If you read the thread they got an answer to their question, then OP posts this rant here like its a classic “windows is stupid” thing, while simply a user tries to do something which is too complex for them, and blames their lack of knowledge on the os.

I never said it’s good ux, but it’s working

Pebkac. Gui equivalent of chown perfectly working on windows and supports recursing into directories. If the questioner doesn’t know how to login as an admin they miss some absolute basic computer usage knowledge, and a general help forum thread wont help them.

Oh, not computer virus. I thought it analysis your browsing habits and raises the risk if you click on a fake download button.

Other 2 answers describe current situation, but the origin is much older. In 1699 Repubublic of Ragusa (now Dubrovnik) ceded Neum to the Ottoman Empire, to prevent land attack from Venice, as Dalmatia was part of Venice that time. Than BiH and Croatia just inherited the borders.
