  • Don’t worry about this at all, this is actually a great opportunity.

    You have a full year where you are a very competitive intern/research applicant because most of your schooling is behind you.

    Not only that, but you can probably take an internship in the spring or fall semester when everyone else is in school. You can get some really primo internships. University of Waterloo is a school you probably never heard of but you find their students in all the big tech companies in the spring and fall because the school pushes them to take a semester off(I think). It’s a great strategy.






  • Very well said. Everything good in life, will have some aspects that you (the global ‘you’) won’t like.

    Lemmy is a huge improvement over corporate social media. Maybe it has some ideologies you don’t like here, but it beats an algorithm that secretly manipulates you.

    If I use a FOSS product, then I try to pay for it, even if it’s not perfect. For example, Firefox gets a lot of well deserved hate but without it I’m not sure there would be a realistic FOSS browser.
