  • As an algebraic topologist who did not even touch anything less "pure" than PDE during my master's degree, I would say the following: You have many possibilities, but you might have to rebrand yourself a little.

    I went into a government job (DM me for details as I am already too identifiable). I was really unsure about going the PhD route or not, and ultimately opted for what I thought would make me the most happy. I am pretty sure it was right for me, though it is a little bittersweet in retrospect.

    In my opinion the people matter more than the place, and with sufficient freedom and autonomy a mathematician can make any task interesting. Think about how you can make your skills useful for other things than pure maths (in a manner you could also enjoy) and sell yourself to an employer on that premise.

  • LunarVim is dead I think. In the issues section the (main?) dev says they recommend switching to something else and that they have gone over to Astronvim.

  • How is the schooling I have received (in Norway) reposting American propaganda? If anything, proper schooling was a key component in making me a communist.

  • This dynamic gets redacted from the mainstream western worldview with the assistance of the western propaganda services known as the mass media, as well as the western indoctrination system known as schooling.

    Kinda lame to project the US' deficient systems on all Western nations.

  • It is cheaper to eat unhealthy than healthy in most countries that have no food scarcity, which means that much of the working class basically eats the scraps of the rich. As an additional consequence of the capitalist mode of (over)production, there are in the same countries a lot of eating disorders, in big part due to the pressure of commercial advertisements.

  • Yeah, it is almost as if the companies operating in the area are price gouging on the basis of workers' salaries 🤔

  • As a Norwegian I talked to some acquaintances about a TV-series they liked and I asked "Cool, where can I watch it?". Then we all just looked at each other and laughed.

  • You see, streaming is a service and you choosing to not use their service is... uhmm... theft!

  • Ah, the proudest of leftist traditions: Disagreeing with other leftists. Serves us right for not being brain-dead reactionaries. Can't spell critical thinking without the C, I and A.

  • Having seen you sharing this list multiple times in the comments lately, I have been thinking "man, this should be a proper post". Great work and thanks for educating us, comrade o7

  • I am not a US citizen, but I would investigate how to build resilient networks that protect anonymity under a fascist regime.

  • Just FYI, I cannot see your pronouns in the Voyager app that I use on my phone.

  • I know I am. I am also entitled to challenge your notion of "this is terrible" that is not really constructive to

    I do not like them because the animations are arbitrary, with no proper theme and consistency to how they work and what they actually represent.

    This is actually informative.

  • They do have a working class, but your second point is all too true, which is why it has made no impact.

  • No, I am essentially asking why they suck if a common user, such as me, likes them. Seems they fulfilled their purpose?

  • They made me want to click each of them. So am I allowed to consider them nice, or is your "professional" opinion going to be the judgement of that?

  • Individual incidents of sexual and gender-based violence are horrible, but not nearly the same as sexual violence employed on scale through genocidal concentration camps, which is claimed by US propaganda machines. Individual incidents of sexual violence unfortunately happen everywhere, and pretending otherwise is wilful ignorance of an endemic problem for the purpose of, what I have to assume is, an underlying agenda. Stop moving the goal post and stop using reductive argumentation to score cheap shots at China. If China really is as bad as claimed, which I am not categorically refuting, then make the proper case for it.
