If you ask Radev whether he prefers cats or dogs, he will talk about “dialogue” and “reason” for 15 minutes, and then not give a direct answer. His party’s roadmap boils down to “corruption - bad, more money - good”, and this is important. In Bulgaria, there is no political ideology: no left, no right, no progressives, no conservatives. Political parties do whatever they think will cement their spot in parliament, and you generally vote for whoever you think will steal least, regardless of your political views.

He wasn’t elected because people love his ideas (he has none), and he wasn’t elected by people who love Russia. He was elected because he is not THAT hated yet, because he is “new”, and by the people who don’t care about politics (the VAST majority of voters). In Bulgaria, such faces are referred to as “saviours” and pop up every few years to capitalize on stagnation/instability (such people often get forgotten in 2/3 election cycles).

In my opinion, internally he might survive the whole term, Bulgaria would probably either stagnate a bit or become a bit richer, a few of his party’s members will get involved in corruption scandals, but that will be quickly forgotten. Boring - basically. In a bad scenario, he might push discriminatory laws towards some minorities, because scapegoat-ing is especially effective here and it’d be easy political points for him.

Externally, he’ll try to play the “neutrality” card on every single global issue and piss off every Bulgarian equally. I’d actually be quite surprised if he gives in heavily to his pro-russian tendencies. I don’t see him as a new Orban in this first term.

Featherless biped with broad fingernails?

In my opinion, a degree is supposed to make you very well-rounded in the specific area (in this case SWE/CS). If a student wants to pursue a career in academia or scientific computing, knowledge in calculus, linear algebra, analytic geometry, etc. will come in handy.

In my country (Eastern Europe) specifically, a bachelor’s in computer science can also allow you to get accepted into master’s and potentially a PhD program in mathematics or physics.

I guess only brainwashed liberals believe in the existence of women.

Vi is a very old piece of software. Unless I’m mistaken, it doesn’t even have syntax highlighting. Vim is “vi improved” and supports all kinds of stuff, including extensions. Neovim is vim that uses Lua as an extension language, instead of vimscript. That allows for easier creation of powerful extensions.

Nano is a simpler text editor that is not as “powerful” as the vim family. Emacs is a state of mind.

In general, all of these are good tools and get the job done.

I agree that just watching a random sport or 2 random teams can be boring. It becomes interesting when you feel a connection to the team or athlete. If you go and watch live, it also becomes a community thing.

Personally, I used to train football (soccer) in my local team in a small town and everyone basically knew all the players.

Football becomes more interesting when you throw a beer can at a player, who also works at a pizzeria, and he takes a sip and throws it back.

ProtonDB only lists Steam games

I am pretty sure Plasma 5 didn’t have it by default. There might have been a 3rd-party extension, though.

And so on and so on…

Judging by the lack of a comma, the father’s name might be Jews Christian.

A relatively small city in Bulgaria. The situation might have been different in larger cities.

I am 18 and have owned 2 such phones. Where I grew up, it was kind of a luxury to own a smartphone in the early 2010s, so I’ve never really thought of these as some kind of ancient technology.

It’s a workout for your CPU. It will make it grow big and strong.

That’s what I did with Far Cry 3, but couldn’t get the stupid launcher to work on linux, so ended up pirating it again.Great work Ubisoft!

In 2013, he came out as gay, criticized an “Anti-homosexual propaganda” law and wrote an article for The Guardian, denouncing homophobia in Russia. In the last few years, he has supported laws banning LGBT propaganda and has had to apologize numerous times for sayng things that are so unhinged, that even the Russian media has called them “disgusting”. Anyone interested can take a look at the “2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine” section of his Wikipedia page. It contains gems, such as " drown the children" and “final solution”

I am a bit late but this is the description: Represents the redesign of the SUSE logo to combine it with Colombian styles from the 70s and 80s

Have you noticed the size difference between the windows and Linux versions? I’ve also had this problem, when exporting projects with Godot, where the Linux version Is much bigger.

I’ve been lucky enough to visit other Slavic countries like Serbia, Macedonia and Bosnia. After realizing that we are in the same shithole, I can’t not sympathize with my brothers.

The more I think about it, the more I wonder why so many of us look at the world from some primal lense. Everything must to be turned into an “us vs them”

In the case of Bulgaria, we have been slaves for 700 out of the 1300 years we’ve been around. The fact that we are still here and call ourselves “bulgarians” is, in my opinion, miraculous. I guess it is in part, thanks to this self-preservation mechanism.

Very good question. I am from Bulgaria and here the amount of putinophiles is mind-boggling. Some people say that they are our Slavic “brothers”, so we must help each other out. Others say that they keep traditional/orthodox values alive (i fucking hate that one). Many say that we should be thankful that they liberated us 150 years ago (although it was not from the kindness of their hearts).

For now, I find it kind of boring. On reddit, I used to spend more time in comment sections than regularly scrolling. Now I don’t really do that, because there are either no comments or the comments are the same.

When I started using lemmy with the default sorting option (‘active’ i think?), I would see the same posts for days, now I use top 6 hours and that problem is fixed, but lemmy now feels like a news site with comments. Also I am European, but it feels like 50% of content is some local American politics. I don’t care about my own town’s politics, so I don’t care about that guy from Minnesota either.

A post from asklemmy hasn’t shown up in my feed in a long time and I kind of forgot it existed, but looking into it, looks like one of the only interesting places here, so I guess, I have visit it more often.
