Slow down there, cowboy.

VAT was so high because everyone and their mother would be cheating their income taxes. He bumped it 2%, I believe, for whatever the heck reason (insatiability?), so we're pretty much world leaders in that regard.

Where are you from? In Hungary people are just realizing they have a semblance of power with their vote. We were conditioned during the communist era to keep our heads ducked and make due for ourselves. This is changing, we'll see on the 12th how quickly.

I hope I was able to answer some of your questions.

49MB download: one NYTimes webpage

Great article, thanks for sharing!

I was just discussing something along these lines with a friend. Back when dial-up was was king, I went to an info expo where they were displaying broadband. I typed in my email host's website, and when I pressed enter, the page just clicked in. No vertical loading whatsoever. It was the future!

Funny to see twenty-odd years later we are stuck in the same throttling ecperience us dial-up users had to experience organically. I really hope a new web is in the brewing. Corpo greed is so fucking cruel.

What was the internet like before Y2K happened ?

I don't feel like it's new users not knowing etiquette that's the problem. I think it's corporate greed and enshittification.

The internet has been dumbed down to a handful of high-traffic sites, and those are trying to make a buck of us. You ran a server/website for your own benefit, not to make a dollar. It's corpo greed, I tell ya..

Kétharmados többséggel nyerte a TISZA a 2026-os parlamenti választásokat

Szerintem addig nem lesz nagy változás, amíg valami ellen szavazunk. Ezért is olyan gyászos, h eltűnt a Momentum, eltünőben van az MKKP.

A Fidesz is azért tudott ekkorát szólni, mert a legnagyobb ígéretük az old guard eltávolítása volt, és nyugatot igértek. Magyar mögött nincs akkora lendület, mint a felcsúti szabadságharcos mögött volt, de megint csak odaadtuk az ország kulcsait egy olyan embernek, aki azt mondja, amit hallani akarunk.

Tök jó volt a magas részvétel, tényleg kezd a lakosság polgárosodni, ami fontos a demokráciának. Egyszer kell elhangoznia, h 'Miért, a Fidesz jobb volt?', hogy Budapest fellángoljon, szóval lehet reménykedni, h pár dolgot el tud intézni ez a lúdtalpas a népnek.
