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.

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.

on Vi or Vim · c/linux_memes · 18 pts · 2y

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.

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

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.

От месеци се чудя дали има смисъл от патриотизма и какво означава България за мен. В днешния свят, много хора се фокусират върху професионалната си себереализация и някои напускат България за да се развият. Според някои по-радикални, тези хора са "предатели" (това е доста краен вариант). От рационална гледна точка, ако напуснеш България, учиш, работиш или като цяло се реализираш лично и професионално в чужбина, то решението да напуснеш може да се окаже най-доброто в живота ти.

Според мен, не е продуктивно да си набиваме в главите, че България е най-красивата държава, българската трева е най-зелена, българския въздух е най-свеж и т.н.

Както ти каза, мисля, че трябва да гледаме трезво на културата си и на това, което ни прави българи. За много хора, това че са българи, няма окаже по-голямо влияние върху живота им, отколкото това, какви личности са, образованието им и т.н.

Относно това дали ще ни има след време... Най-вероятно ще ни има под някаква форма, ако не се самоунищожим ние или човечеството като цяло.

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"

Personally, I install Mod Organizer 2 and launch it from Lutris and it has worked perfectly on Gnome, xfce and plasma on Fedora, Arch and openSuse respectively. I have used as many as 40 mods at a time and it is a pleasant experience. Both 1.5.1 and 1.5.2 work fine for me.

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.
