Hello! That’s my main mbin account, my alt is @Fitik, I also have a furry/personal account at @fitik

I’m just a regular person from Israel🇮🇱, a queer, and a #Fediverse enthusiast! I’m a liberal

I don’t post much stuff, but when I do I usually post about #tech because I’ve mostly given up on trying to argue on there

  • A refreshed New Tab layout is being rolled out to users in the US and Canada, featuring a repositioned logo and weather widget to prioritize Web Search, Shortcuts, and Recommended Stories at the top. The update includes changes to the card UI for recommended stories and allows users with larger screens to see up to four columns, making better use of space.

    Pretty interesting




  • There’s an explanation from a different source talking about the same story:

    Hungary has lost one billion euros in European Union funds that were frozen over corruption concerns, marking the first time Brussels has enforced such a penalty.

    In 2022, Brussels began “conditionality” proceedings against Hungary, seeking to block disbursements because of alleged infringements linked to public procurement as well as a lack of control and transparency.

    Budapest did undertake reforms that allowed some funds to be unblocked, but a total of €19 billion remain frozen.

    Under timelines laid out in the EU’s conditionality regulation, “the first tranche of suspended commitments” – which amounted to €1.04 billion – expired at the end of 2024 without the suspension being lifted, the commission said this week.

    This means Hungary has now lost that funding
