Hungary’s Going Gay? TV Channel Dedicated To 24-hour LGBTQI Programs Will Soon Launch

Hungary’s Going Gay? TV Channel Dedicated To 24-hour LGBTQI Programs Will Soon Launch

Via Remix News, Hungary will soon be getting a new government under Tisza’s Péter Magyar, but the landscape is already shifting, with a new LGBTQ-themed online television channel called “Rainbow” (“Szivárvány”) TV in the works to broadcast programs targeting the LGBTQI community 24 hours a day. The entrepreneur behind the project, whose identity is being kept secret for now, reports Media1, but they have already submitted the necessary documents to the National Media and Communications Authority. The channel will reportedly offer cultural programs, gastronomic content, and other shows about the history of the LGBTQI community. According to the owner, adult, 18+ content would be made available to subscribers exclusively in encrypted form, using appropriate technical protection. And “special attention will be paid to the protection of children” and compliance with professional classification principles. This last is important, given Hungary’s child protection law, which has just recently been subject to a ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union that the law “stigmatises and marginalises LGBTI+ persons.” The CJEU essentially finds fault with the measure, …

My smart home runs through this one device, and I stopped buying dedicated hubs years ago

My smart home runs through this one device, and I stopped buying dedicated hubs years ago

I’ve had a great experience with my smart speakers. Over the years, I’ve had a Google Home and a Nest Hub as I was trying to figure out what might be right for my home. But it ultimately came down to something that my wife and I found when we were unpacking boxes when we first moved in together. She had an Amazon Echo Dot that she had been given and we plugged it in to get some use out of it for setting timers and playing some music. What we didn’t realize then was that we were starting our journey towards a smart home. Years later, we have a well-automated home that runs through Amazon Alexa, which has been my favorite smart home assistant to work with. Along with that, the Amazon Echo Show 8 is my favorite smart home device that I have for many reasons. It can do so much and I feel like I’m just scratching the surface with it.

Your old phone can be a dedicated dashcam with free software

Old Android phones can be repurposed in a lot of ways. From turning it into a webcam for your PC or using an old Android as an Android Auto head unit, there are plenty of uses for old phones if you don’t want to toss them in the bin. They don’t require a lot of setup either. The hardware is already there, all you need is an app for the task. And with the right app, it can also become a dedicated dashcam that quietly records every drive, gives you peace of mind in traffic, and does it all without costing a cent in hardware. Your old phone is already better than a cheap dashcam Why outdated hardware is perfect for the job Yadullah Abidi / MakeUseOfCredit: Yadullah Abidi / MakeUseOf Think about what a dashcam actually is: a camera, some storage, a bit of processing power, and a power source. Your old Android phone already has all of that, plus extras like GPS and mobile data if you need it. What it’s been missing is …

D-Day survivor ‘dedicated’ to ‘fallen comrades’ dies aged 100 | UK News

A veteran who survived the D-Day landings has died at the age of 100. Stan Ford “dedicated himself to keeping alive the memory of his fallen comrades”, according to the Normandy Memorial Trust. Mr Ford, of Bath, suffered life-changing injuries onboard the HMS Fratton when it was sunk off the coast of Normandy on 18 August 1944. It is believed the ship was sunk by a midget submarine.

The Normandy Memorial Trust said in tribute that it was “deeply saddened” to share the news of Mr Ford’s death.

‘It’s dedicated exclusively to female artists, from Frida Kahlo to Tracey Emin’: readers’ favourite unsung museums in Europe | Cultural trips

The art of women in Cannes We visited the Female Artists of the Mougins Museum, in Mougins, a small village on a hill near Cannes. Full of exclusively female artists – from Berthe Morisot in the 19th century and Frida Kahlo in the early 20th to contemporary figures such as Tracey Emin – it houses an incredible collection of often overlooked art and artists. We visited on a rainy October day and it was remarkably quiet and calm. I particularly enjoyed the abstract works – well worth a trip up the hill.James Secret church in Amsterdam’s red light district Ons’ Lieve Heer op Solder church, Amsterdam. Photograph: Frans Lemmens/Alamy Ons’ Lieve Heer op Solder is a bit of a mouthful, but it is the best museum I have ever visited. Our Lord in the Attic is a hidden gem in the centre of Amsterdam and well worth a visit. “Our Lord” is a clandestine church originating after the Reformation when Catholics were no longer allowed to hold public holy masses. It enabled Catholics to worship, …

In New York, the Stakes are High for a Young Gallery Dedicated to Play

In New York, the Stakes are High for a Young Gallery Dedicated to Play

A cold wind cuts through lower Manhattan, passing shuttered storefronts that once housed small galleries—some casualties of the rent crisis—before losing force at the corner of Broome and Chrystie Streets. There, a different kind of market experiment took shape. Last year, Spielzeug Gallery, a nomadic curatorial project had a turn as a brick-and-mortar commercial gallery, testing a model that reads almost anachronistic beside Tribeca: one in which chaos is not a pose, but the consequence of combining pleasure and survival within the same space. The purpose, after all, is embedded in the name itself. The gallery’s name is the German word for “toy.” Related Articles “Toys always come with an idea of control,” said Evan Karas, the director and founder of Spielzeug. “Toys are about working with your hands—pulling a Barbie apart. As children, we rely on objects to make sense of reality. That intensity never really goes away in adulthood; it just shifts into something psychosexual.”  The first exhibition Karas staged in the Chrystie Street space, aptly titled “TOYS! TOYS! TOYS!” was a veritable …

They Started an Entire College Dedicated to Resisting Cancel Culture, and Then the Funniest Possible Thing Happened

They Started an Entire College Dedicated to Resisting Cancel Culture, and Then the Funniest Possible Thing Happened

In 2021, a crew of self-described free speech martyrs announced they were founding a university to save American higher education from the scourge of cancel culture. They called it the University of Austin, or UATX — and though it lacks accreditation, they boasted that it would be a place where controversial ideas could breathe free, and students wouldn’t live in fear of the woke mob. Pretty much from the jump, critics of UATX suspected the project was less about “freedom of speech” and more about building a right-wing echo chamber for aggrieved libertarians. It operated out of a former retail store in downtown Austin, with funding from “anti-woke” philanthropists like Palantir co-founder Joseph Lonsdale. Over the next few years, those critics would be proven correct in spectacular style. According to comprehensive reporting by Politico, in April of 2025 Lonsdale called an all-staff meeting that threw the entire project into a tailspin. Per the reporting, the billionaire told faculty and staff they must all subscribe to the “four principles of anti-communism, anti-socialism, identity politics, and anti-Islamism.” …
