German here, I think the degree needed for getting a good job mostly depends on your study subject. One friend of mine studied chemistry at university and said that a PhD is required for a good job while another friend of mine studied computer science and got hired before even finishing his Bachelor’s degree. The company helped him in finishing his Bachelor’s degree while employing him.

I studied math and got a Master of science, currently doing my PhD while working as a research assistant. I hear most math students leave uni after getting their Bachelor’s, similar to computer science students. Though it still wasn’t easy to get a research job for me. I think even within a study subject it depends on your field of research whether getting a job is easy or not.

nice desktop wallpaper :3

don’t let yourself get discouraged, math isn’t everything ^^

this tbh! reddit, tiktok, etc. doesn’t properly embed in discord anymore, so I could just upload funny clips to Loops and have an actual playable embed when I share the link.

oh hey, I was there too! Worked at the save3rdpartyapps logo, was really nice seeing everyone collaborate but it got really stressful at points. People were greedy for canvas space. Was a bit disappointing that we could only do so much, the banner was really small after all. But at least the protest didn’t go unnoticed with the giant “FUCK SPEZ” across the whole canvas.

There is no division between who you pretend to be and who you are.

This is quite the nice message in view of imposter syndrome too. If you’re being a kind person online then you are simply a kind person.

if you want to know the percentage of something (e.g.: 6% of 50) you can swap the numbers around: 6% of 50 = 50% of 6 = 3
that is because it’s simply a multiplication, 6% of 50 = 6/100 * 50 = 6 * 50/100 = 50% of 6

I definitely need that magic! o.o

I know a fun fact:
You know how a packet of 8 bits is called a byte? A packet of 4 bits, which is half a byte, is called a nibble!

But what if I want a union struct to quickly interpret floats as ints and vice versa! I need my C hacks!

Maybe your answer was not needed here but it is a very important one nonetheless! Especially when people compare themselves to the internet!

the hecking pepper brush from GIMP at the end got me laughing!

you might be overthinking a bit. I don’t think there is anything wrong with having gnomes whos culture is based on some autistic traits. Like maybe it’s common for them to just leave mid-conversation or they see it as an insult if you make eye contact. That sounds like a fun idea.
Just don’t make autism their only trait or be afraid of not including an idea because it doesn’t fit the autism stick.
As others here have said it might be more about how you do it, not if it’s gnomes or any other species. The only thing I really associate with gnomes would be a low body height.

you can edit your post and correct the link I believe. Great post btw!

According to wiktionary infant comes from the Latin word infans, meaning “unable to speak”. The term fans means “to speak”.

Not sure if your Fanta can speak though :P

shoutout to this 80s punk song asking the same question but with hugely different energy :P

could’ve expanded GNU some more! :P

What do you call a group of 8 Hobbits?
A Hobbyte!

old pun by now but I still love it :P

Oh yeah, you’re right. Seems like the AI replaced dead with useless as in “dead batteries”. That is really awful.

Different apps being able to communicate sounds similar to the fediverse! Would be nice if there was a common protocol/library every messenger would use and clients would only need to implement it.
