They did do a beginner's guide to Mastodon after Musk infested Twitter, but it does seem like they don't consider Lemmy or Mastodon to be "serious"

Would you like 1 maglev train for 10km, or 10 extra trains to make better use of existing infrastructure?

Suddenly the Broccoloid episode of The Powerpuff Girls reads as anti-LGBT propaganda

It's saying most of those who don't care about animals on the road drive SUVs, not that most SUV drivers don't care about animals.

Yep, I remember in one job I was at for 8 years a manager 2 levels up complemented me for sorting out the networking for a re-arrange of our own office ... I was gobsmacked because I'd been managing a whole network and server upgrade for a client that involved well over 1000 users at the time yet an hour of fiddling with wires under desks was the only thing that got his attention.

Yeah, I got laid off twice more before switching careers. Both times they wanted me to come back and fix stuff after letting me go.

It goes hand in hand with the "if someone works hard, they should be given more work as a reward" line of thinking.

My first salaried job was also my first proper IT job and I was a "junior technician" ... the only other member of IT staff was my supervisor who had been a secretary that got a 1 week sysadmin course and knew very little.

The server room was a complete rat's nest and I resolved to sort it out. It was all going very well until I tripped over the loose SCSI 3 cable between the AIX server and it's raid array. While it was in use.

It took me 2 days to restore everything from tape. My supervisor was completely useless.

A few months later I was "made redundant", leaving behind me everything working perfectly and a super tidy server room. I got calls from the company asking for help for the following 6 months, which I politely declined.

You didn't mention, but they have a good line in scapegoating LGBT people too. They follow Russia as close as possible on that front.

Hey, my wife and her sister moved away about 12 years ago ... it was absolutely the right thing for both of them.

Anyone even halfway intelligent is better off moving away from Hungary. I feel sorry for those who can't speak a foreign language and thus are stuck there.

This is the logical answer.

The US was never tolerant, the EU is still comparatively tolerant.
