post title isn’t the same as the article title

I have so many idiot friends who said “I’m not voting for Harris cause of Israel”. I’m betting that line was a plant by the Republicans or Putin. but it stuck. and my friends bought it hook line and sinker.

did he have a green card?

you need the job. take it, and do it well like the client wants. invest time in developing options so that you won’t have to take this job again.

your personal survival comes first

I’ll believe it when I see it. trump did so many things that would be career ending for anyone else. he got convicted of 30+ felonies. his university closed for fraud. he is banned from operating charities in NY cause of fraud. he’s bankrupted several businesses. not to mention the sexual assault and rape. and his crass behavior.

voters knew all of this. and voted for him anyway 🙄

things may change when the rich lose enough and allow the right wing media to turn against trump. hasn’t happened yet.

support for him is still strong thanks to the propaganda machine. fox news doesn’t even mention the stock market drop, but highlights important events such as Monica Lewinsky’s return to Hollywoods inner circle and the 50 million saved by DOGE 🙄.

The rich still think the can profit from Trump’s policies, and until that changes nothing else will matter

the trusts pay pennies to the dollar…

omg. turns out there something called an asbestos bankruptcy trust that companies use to get out of paying people injured by asbestos exposure

don’t think I saw batman forever.

i remember him from top gun, and kiss kiss bang bang. he was great in both

Wow. 6 months after the shooting her mom shot herself. her dad moved her to an isolated mountain region. she managed to buy her own house, live independently, get a job, and forgive the gunman’s parents. good for her. sounds like an amazing woman

in 4 years voters will forget. also in 4 years whomever is running will just blame storm, or blatantly lie, and won’t be affected

Lawmakers and advocacy groups are calling for a government investigation into potential monopolistic practices.

lol. this government believes in free market and corporate profits. if found guilty of monopolistic practices the top execs will immediately be offered more tax breaks, handouts and/or high profile government positions

if he hears this he will just speed things up…

I use Lemmy because there’s a good ad free app (jerboa)

I’m just happy more people are talking about it. but yes the article could certainly have been shorter

so I found it interesting and checked it out. the protocol is all well and good but the problem is social. I’m simply not going to send people my delta chat Id and ask them to message me there instead if they have delta chat installed. I had the same problem with session messenger.

when I meet someone irl I’m trading phone numbers. not asking if they have app X installed.

this might be useful for open source projects where you can use ur delta chat id instead of ur email. but it’s not something I would use unless it’s a requirement to join some community I wanted to.

the problem signal solves by tieing accounts to your phone number is contact discovery. thanks to user IDs you no longer have to share your phone number with people u want to chat with, and can only share your user id

plus signal guarantees the metadata is encrypted. is the same true for delta chat?

there’s also session

https://getsession.org/

unfortunately privacy and usability are inversely related. session is private. I loved it. but I had no one to chat with 😃

I had no idea if any of my contacts were on session or not.

lol no it’s not. taxes went up for everyone making less than 300k. but fox news calls it tax cuts. low income maga voters buy it it hook, line and sinker. high income maga voters actually get the tax cut.

they saw 4 years of this clown and more felonies than fingers, and came out in droves to vote for him.

magas not cracking anytime soon.

is there a search function in Lemmy to search for posts? is it indexed and does it show up in search engine results?

if yes, that might help a lot with getting traffic

I know a little about the academic system. it’s not an easy market to succeed in. but if you do it’s a wonderful life. you’re free to work on problems you find interesting, without worrying about whether or not they are profitable.

sounds like you genuinely love doing research in math, given that you put in a lot of time and voluntarily turned down a cushy job.

my suggestion is to put your nose to the grindstone and pass your quals. it’s not easy and not everyone makes it… but it sounds like the path to the career you want is this way.
