  • Autofill is still an issue though. I can’t recall which settings are off by default but I found I need them a lot of times and so I always have to enable them and give accessibility permissions to Bitwarden, which sometimes it loses. It really annoys me and if it can annoy me it can’t be used by people who don’t want to deal with any tech that doesn’t work out of the box.


  • As someone who is way too tech literate I would argue tech should be made more accessible. I wholeheartedly disagree with the walled garden approach, but the fact that I just had a conversation with my friends with the result of “but I won’t use a password manager, because it’s too complicated” is very eye opening.

    Here’s my setup for instance: Bitwarden, I log into my own server (which it self is kind of a hidden setting), then go into Settings > Autofill, check everything, grant a dozen obscure permissions (most people won’t know what they are) and then sometimes it just doesn’t work. Yet again sometimes it randomly loses said permissions and I have to grant them again, meaning I couldn’t even help someone while setting it up, because eventually it might break.

    People should be able to download a password manager of their choosing and then grant a “this is a password manager” option, which shouldn’t be easily exploitable. Instead apps and websites should clearly declare login forms, but they don’t really so these apps need a fuckton of permissions, over which we should obviously have granular control, so fucking password managers of all things become a powertool.

    And these kinds of things happen ridiculously often, over way too much different tech stuff.

    Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.


  • Thing is, I think we’re already past that weird transitional period where there exists a good solution for X common problem in linux gaming, but is only shipped in some nieche gaming-oriented distro, instead of any general purpose distros. Most desktop linux distros are already “bloated” (in a sensible way) so it’s not like they would lack whatever components we need for gaming. Sure there can be nice extras, but that’s mostly only useful for the miniscule cross-section of people who consider themselves powerusers but are afraid of installing programs from the package manager.




  • Our PM. He has been in office since 2010, that makes him the longest serving PM in the EU as far as I know. In terms of his politics he used to be conservative liberal, then he went into nationalism and far right and haven’t looked back ever since. He is a populist who captured the state media, corrupted law and order and pocketed a significant portion of all the money the government had and also whatever the EU gave us. He is constantly antagonizing the usual groups, the EU and George Soros for some reason. Yes literally. Also he basically almost banned free media a few months ago. He is the sort of guy who would be a real pain in the ass as a neighbor or as a family member, nevermind the leader of the government.


  • Regular protests, giving part of our tax and donating to independent media, talking to right-wing family about all the issues here, voting for the opposition. Sadly the opposition hasn’t been potent lately (all 14 years of Orbán until last year). As in they were idiots. And then finally we got someone who can actually can speak to the masses (Peter Magyar) just last year and now we may get rid of Orban with the elections next year. Well that is if he doesn’t ban Magyar from running.
