  • There are applications that still don’t have a proper Linux port, or any at all. Or maybe the ones that exist are cumbersome to use. I really hate that people downvote you for pointing this out. If you were wrong, Linux would have a much larger share already.

    I understand that some people have alternatives for everything they use; I’m happy for them, and I wish to be them. But assuming that if I can do everything I want on Linux in the same quality/convenience/whatever, then others must, as well…


  • Which OS has more executable files written for it

    Windows, of course, that’s out of the question. And yes, the problem wouldn’t be as annoying if proper corporate solutions were developed for Linux, as well - which is an investment, and they look at the proportions between the two, and choose the one with the larger user base. Which sucks as well, because the Linux user base is small exactly for the above reason (among others).

    Again, I’m not debating the whole issue at all - I just didn’t find the initial comparison fair, that’s all.

    While it does feel like that from a Windows user’s perspective, you’re comparing running Windows executables on Windows with running Windows executables on Linux - no wonder it’s not as simple on Linux. Do you know what else is not that simple? Running Linux executables on Windows. In order to do that, you have to…






  • I hate the vile stuff that the Hungarian government has/had been doing in the past fifteen (!) years, but if there has ever been a chance to overthrow them, it’s now(ish). I know that a year is still a pretty long time, and I’m sure they will switch to overdrive now that they feel it might be their last year, at least in the 2/3 majority, but there’s another election coming in April 2026. I would hate it if the country got expunged juuuust before a possible change of regime, even if that change probably won’t be Earth shattering.

    I just hope the EU comes up with some creative solution to keep these evil autocrats at bay for the “little” time until then.







  • “Hungary would be a better place if you didn’t beat out the fuse, but each other’s” - or “Hungary would be a better place if you’d beat each other’s instead of the fuse”.

    By the way, OP accidentally overlooked the country/place translation, but I’m 100% sure they know, otherwise.

    Boring explanation in the spoiler box:

    spoiler

    To jack off = to beat (it) out/off in Hungarian. E.g. “I beat out/off my dick to this picture of a daisy”.

    To blow the fuse (…box?) = to beat out/off the fuse in Hungarian. Beat might not be the best translation, and it could be closer to ‘slam’ or ‘pop’ or something, but we use the same word (‘ver’ / ‘beat’) in both cases.

    We also use the term ‘blow the fuse’ when talking about having enough of something that grinds your gears. Like, “I could still tolerate that ignorant knob, but when he started talking about all the doctors of the world conspiring, that blew the fuse for me. (‘beat out/off the fuse for me’)” - kind of when you lose it.


  • Despite the 2/3 majority in parliament, the actual vote head counts were closer to a 45/55 (or 48/52, depending on the source) at the last few elections. This is due to severe gerrymandering, excessive propaganda, oppressing opposition and independent media outlets, and intentionally cutting education funds.

    But I’m also both saddened and infuriated by the fact that while it’s not the majority, still, HALF of the fucking country still supports this vile, hateful, corrupt, literally evil government.

    I guess there’s no hope for the country, and it will soon devolve into another Belarus.
