| Orban has lost and will no longer lead Hungary. This is huge as Orban and his  |
| Fidesz party represented the most anti-democratic forces in the EU, and a      |
| major force driving politics around the world to the right. The Fidesz         |
| movement endangered the EU project, and provided the model for Trump's second  |
| term in power and project 2025.                                                |
|                                                                                |
| What's most surprising to me is how Orban was defeated. The Hungarian          |
| opposition tried everything from going to the left, the right, center,         |
| coalitions, protest movements, civil resistance, and tons of other things. And |
| it didn't work. Orban consolidated control over the media, shutdown any        |
| opposition organization or educational institutions, used the tax code to      |
| strip organizations of their funding and legal status, blacklisted opposition  |
| leaders.                                                                       |
|                                                                                |
| And yet Orban would win super majorities over and over again. What's finally   |
| worked was a scandal of corruption from within Fidesz and their governing      |
| coalition which exposed the contradictions of Orban's strongman anticorruption |
| message with the reality of how authoritarians keep power.                     |
|                                                                                |
| Authoritarians have a carrot and stick model of power, if you comply you get   |
| benefits, sometimes those happen illegally, construction contracts, get out of |
| jail despite your crimes, etc... or a stick, where they attack the opposition  |
| the way progressive politicians where attacked and NGO's were shutdown.        |
|                                                                                |
| With all of the opposition destroyed in Hungary what happened was the          |
| corruption got worse and eventually became a scandal that was too big to       |
| contain. Loyal members of Fidesz split and created their own party, because    |
| that's the only political force left in the country. And people voted for the  |
| new faction, not because they wanted radical change, but because they got fed  |
| up with Orban's lies. Will the new leadership of Hungary, Péter Magyar’s       |
| Tisza, be any better? Honestly i have no idea. But the downfall of one wanna   |
| be dictator is a good thing.                                                   |
|                                                                                |
| To Orban's credit, he's admitting he lost and not trying to pull a January     |
| 6th! Perhaps because his replacement come from a group of ex-loyalists, and    |
| his right wing project may continue. I'm not sure.                             |

| I'm listening to the ATmosphere conference and just came across panproto:      |
| https://panproto.dev/                                                          |
|                                                                                |
| On the surface it’s a project about schema version control and migrations      |
| across systems like atproto, sql, protobuf, graphql, json schema, etc. which   |
| sounds a little dry until you think about what that actually means for open    |
| protocols.                                                                     |
|                                                                                |
| One of the recurring problems in protocol ecosystems is that we treat          |
| compatibility and migration as if they’re just social coordination problems    |
| right up until they become infrastructure problems. then every client, relay,  |
| indexer, bridge, and app ends up carrying around its own private pile of       |
| assumptions.                                                                   |
|                                                                                |
| Nostr has a lot of strengths because it evolves loosely and permissionlessly.  |
| that flexibility matters. but it also means a lot of the real schema evolution |
| in nostr happens informally: new kinds, new tag meanings, app-specific         |
| conventions, and changing assumptions spread unevenly through the ecosystem.   |
|                                                                                |
| Feels especially relevant for long-lived clients, relays, indexers, and        |
| definitely for anything trying to bridge nostr with atproto or other networks. |
|                                                                                |
| anyway, interesting project. protocol people might want to take a look         |
|                                                                                |

| That’s a bug. We do crawl and talk to a bunch of relays to not overwrite the   |
| kind 0 and 3 events. And also do check for what relays you’re using. I’m not   |
| sure what happened. If you want a site like divine.video use Shakespeare.diy   |
| like we did to make it.                                                        |

| Something I've noticed from using LLMs is a real sense of relief.              |
|                                                                                |
| I have pretty crippling dyslexia. Spell checkers don't really work for me —    |
| for that to work, you have to get close enough to the word AND be able to      |
| recognise which one is correct from a list. I often have to fall back to       |
| checking definitions. My usual workaround was to Google the word, see what     |
| came back, then double-check I had the right one.                              |
|                                                                                |
| It's really exhausting.                                                        |
|                                                                                |
| But talking to an LLM, it doesn't care — and it does a much better job of      |
| figuring out meaning and the correct word from context. I've been able to stop |
| doing all that extra cognitive labor. It feels liberating and relaxing.        |
|                                                                                |
| The same is true for coding. I'm good at systems thinking — knowing how things |
| need to come together, holding the complicated picture in my head. I've built  |
| a lot of interesting projects that work. The hard part was never figuring out  |
| what needed to be done or how it should work. It was the damned syntax.        |
|                                                                                |
| Kind of like being able to work and think in my native language rather than    |
| one I learned as an adult, where I'm constantly doing the mental work of       |
| translation.                                                                   |
