  • Perhaps instead of being a big meanie pants you could look outside and realise that just because they're also nazis it doesn't mean everything has to happen 100% word-for-word the exact same way like some kind of shitty sci-fi movie. I get that the symbolism is compelling and everything. But nevertheless burning down nazi buildings is good, actually.

  • Yeah depending on your hardware things like that can still happen sometimes. I don't think it's a lot more common than on other OSes. It's especially not really usual for something as basic as network drivers to misbehave though, especially suddenly. For what it's worth, my experience trying to use Zotero on Windows on both MS word and LibreOffice writer was also a glitchy mess. Anyway, hope you try it again another time when you are under a bit less pressure and it works out better for you then.

  • In Anglophone countries there are usually other pathways. In Aotearoa/New Zealand, for example, it's normal to start a PhD with a master's, but you can also do it with a BSc(Hons) or "honours" degree, which is a one year programme added on to the end of a bachelors. It's roughly half graduate courses and half research for a small dissertation. A real master's degree there is a bit more intense than it would usually be in Germany, and would usually involve half a year of graduate courses and a year and a half of independent research for a thesis to be examined by independent examiners. It should really contain some novel work, even if it's just replicating, comparing and synthesizing existing techniques from the field. Often if people want to quit their PhD program halfway, they are given the opportunity to write up what they have into a thesis and submit it for a master's, and that does roughly correspond with the work they have already done.

  • US from a mildly so so hero country to a suspectable place that creates concentration camps and jails people in them permanently

    Ok hold on a sec there, I agree these developments are awful but the US was never a hero country and has been illegally permanently jailing and torturing people for decades, besides all the couping democratically elected governments, murdering native people, not letting go of slavery, and so on and so on.

    No, Putin has orchestrated the fall of the USA from a competent evil superpower to an incompetent evil large power.

  • So Thiel is really in control then, since Musk is actually an idiot. The idea that Thiel thought "I can't trust this guy to do anything" when he kicked Musk out of PayPal, and now "Wait, I need someone to ruin something and run it into the ground, I've got just the guy" is somehow absolutely hilarious to me.

  • I do know the specifics of this guy and he is an absolute boot-licking uncle tom dickhead who made a lot of money becoming a politician and selling out his own people (and everyone else in Aotearoa) and he can go fuck himself.

    Edit:

    The cost of which could have paid for at least one dose of medicine.

    Uh, maybe, but you could also just make the tech companies pay a tiny fraction of taxes and then you could have both

  • Graphene is absolutely the best choice for that exact situation, please do look into it more. It is far ahead of anything else for enabling you to stay safe. You do still have to make sure to set it up correctly, which takes some careful reading, but the instructions are out there.
