War is very bad, sure, but please don’t be one of those people to repeat propaganda terminology.

As far as I can tell, the US and Israel have not yet committed anything that would constitute a war crime.

Trump threatened one (blowing up civilian power stations), but he hasn’t followed through.

Similarly, the combined force are not “carpet bombing”, etc…

My favourite variant of this merrygoround is when they ask you to demonstrate the issue live in a Teams session, you do so, and there's this moment of silence followed by an "Oh... I see".

Then you assume, naively, that this means that they've recognised that there really is a product problem and will go off and fix it. However, then in turn the support tech needs to reproduce the the issue to the development team.

They invariably fail to do so for any number of reasons, such as: This only happens in my region, not others. Or the support tech's lab environment doesn't actually allow them to spin up the high-spec thing that's broken. Or whatever.

Then the ticket gets reject with "can't reproduce" after you've reproduced the issue, with a recorded video and everything as evidence.

If you then navigate that gauntlet, the ticket is most typically rejected with "It is broken like that by design, closed."

Over the last two decades Hungary reversed course from a democracy joining the west to an authoritarian dictatorship in bed with the Russians.

Hence, everything their government does is the opposite of what a typical European Union member would approve of.
