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.

vatlark@lemmy.worldto Lemmy.World Announcements@lemmy.world•Lemmy needs more donations263·14 days agoVery 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.
I had no idea where bee’s wax came from. Cool
I think it would be hard to find a hedgehog that would allow itself to be combed.
vatlark@lemmy.worldMto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Dolores Umbridge was a JK Rowling Self Insert all this time.1·28 days agoI think we are very much in agreement. I don’t read a lot of what goes on in Showerthoughts. I would rather let people sort out their differences. Several users reported the thread, meaning that they wanted a moderator to take action.
If someone prefers zero moderation then they will need to look outside of Lemmy.world.
vatlark@lemmy.worldMto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Dolores Umbridge was a JK Rowling Self Insert all this time.1·29 days agoYou should be able to see all the reports against you here: https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=13046809
I observe two things about your comment.
- You have an unpopular opinion of JK Rowling. I want to build a welcoming community so I want to support people with unpopular opinions, like yours.
- The comment is written in a way that not only states your opinion but is aggressive towards the other users. In isolation this comment isn’t too bad but in the context of your other comments there is a trend of agression that stirs up more aggression. I want to build a welcoming community so I want to avoid aggression towards users.
These two points are at odds. I originally removed your comment, you didn’t like that, you sent me a DM, so I tried this approach.
If you were in my shoes, how would you resolve the conflict created by observations 1 & 2?

vatlark@lemmy.worldMto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Dolores Umbridge was a JK Rowling Self Insert all this time.11·29 days agoMod here. This thread devolved and reports were flying around so now it’s gone.
It was kicked off with the above comment. rainrain asked a question. If we assume the best intentions, it is a reasonable question but it could be interpreted as being hostile.
Leraje did a good job answering the question in a kind way.
In general, please approach opposing ideas with curiosity not hostility. We are all on the same team, we are all working together to build a better internet.
Thanks, I expected it would figure itself out. But I guess it only works in the desktop -> mobile direction, not the reverse.
vatlark@lemmy.worldto memes@lemmy.world•"No, it would not be easier with help, because then I would have to talk to people"6·30 days agoI try to write good documentation, but when introducing someone for the first time I try to talk them through the documentation. Turns out my documentation could always use some improvements and it helps them feel comfortable with the documentation so they can reference back to it more easily.
Good point… I assumed an armory would be more guarded than a modern gun store, but maybe not much
vatlark@lemmy.worldOPto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Puma picks colors and shades at random it seems.English8·1 month agoNo, but upon closer inspection the right one is probably a more faded version of the left one.
The middle is certainly different.
But they seem to do this in other colors, where they have two slightly different versions.
John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry was among the last in a series of events that led to the American Civil War.[230] Southern slaveowners, hearing initial reports that hundreds of abolitionists were involved, were relieved the effort was so small, but feared other abolitionists would emulate Brown and attempt to lead slave rebellions.[231] Future Confederate President Jefferson Davis feared “thousands of John Browns”.[232] Therefore, the South reorganized the decrepit militia system. These militias, well-established by 1861, became a ready-made Confederate army, making the South better prepared for war.[233]
This is good.
It’s a shame that Europe did feel the need to compete with the US administration by gutting it’s auditing of sustainability https://www.esgtoday.com/eu-parliament-agrees-to-delay-sustainability-reporting-and-due-diligence-laws/
Interesting that your default unit of chips is ‘a chip’ and not ‘a handful of chips’ or ‘a bag of chips’.
