🚀🖥️ Ah, yes, the quest for a magical programming language that can do everything and cure world hunger. This article proves that if you can name 40 programming languages, you obviously possess the secret to perfection 🤡. Spoiler: Lean is perfectable, not perfect, much like my ability to care.

Ah, the noble quest to cleanse your X feed of "crypto" and "rage politics" using #AI. Because nothing says "I'm in #control of my social media" like outsourcing your sanity to an algorithm. 🤖💩 Meanwhile, welcome to the future where GitHub is apparently not just a code repository, but also your digital therapist. 😂🛠️

Ah yes, another 🥱 riveting dive into the "perils" of not being lazy enough in your code 🤦‍♂️. Because clearly, if you aren't worshipping at the altar of Larry Wall and his holy trinity of virtues, your software is doomed ☠️. But hey, keep copy-pasting like it's 1999, and maybe someday you'll ascend to abstraction nirvana. 🌈

📰 Viktor Orbán finally decided to take a break from his 16-year long cosplay of a Bond villain after #Hungary decided they'd rather not live in a dystopian novel. 📚 Apparently, his charm wasn't enough to sway voters, who opted for a #change instead of another season of "Dictator's Drag Race" 🇭🇺🤣

Orbán's 16-year rule is over as Hungary backs challenger in key election

Hungarian voters have ousted long-serving Prime Minister Viktor Orbán after 16 years in power, rejecting the authoritarian policies and global far-right movement that he embodied in favor of a pro-European challenger in a bombshell election result with global repercussions. It was a stunning blow for Orbán — a close ally of both U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin — who quickly conceded defeat after what he called a ″painful″ election result on Sunday night. Election victor Péter Magyar, a former Orbán loyalist who campaigned against corruption and on everyday issues like health care and public transport, has pledged to rebuild Hungary’s relationships with the European Union and NATO — ties that frayed under Orbán.
