German here, I think the degree needed for getting a good job mostly depends on your study subject. One friend of mine studied chemistry at university and said that a PhD is required for a good job while another friend of mine studied computer science and got hired before even finishing his Bachelor’s degree. The company helped him in finishing his Bachelor’s degree while employing him.

I studied math and got a Master of science, currently doing my PhD while working as a research assistant. I hear most math students leave uni after getting their Bachelor’s, similar to computer science students. Though it still wasn’t easy to get a research job for me. I think even within a study subject it depends on your field of research whether getting a job is easy or not.

nice desktop wallpaper :3

It was similar for me! I was bored and put an UwU down on the canvas at the beginning of the event and it survived almost until the end! People kept repairing it too and put the rainbow road below without destroying it. In the end the space got repurposed for a cute pony which is for the best x3
I’m very surprised how long it lasted though! This community is so nice!

thought I’d share my version too which is more of a pixel by pixel version of the 1000x500 pixel canvas ^^

I managed to convert the colors using GIMP and updated the links in my last comment with that version ^^

I took the liberty to scale down your image to a one-to-one version and convert the colors ^^
image link and canvas link with this template

Edit: converted the colors as well and updated the links above
old version, i.e. non color mapped scaled down image

this tbh! reddit, tiktok, etc. doesn’t properly embed in discord anymore, so I could just upload funny clips to Loops and have an actual playable embed when I share the link.

oh hey, I was there too! Worked at the save3rdpartyapps logo, was really nice seeing everyone collaborate but it got really stressful at points. People were greedy for canvas space. Was a bit disappointing that we could only do so much, the banner was really small after all. But at least the protest didn’t go unnoticed with the giant “FUCK SPEZ” across the whole canvas.

I definitely need that magic! o.o

I know a fun fact:
You know how a packet of 8 bits is called a byte? A packet of 4 bits, which is half a byte, is called a nibble!

But what if I want a union struct to quickly interpret floats as ints and vice versa! I need my C hacks!

Maybe your answer was not needed here but it is a very important one nonetheless! Especially when people compare themselves to the internet!

the hecking pepper brush from GIMP at the end got me laughing!

you might be overthinking a bit. I don’t think there is anything wrong with having gnomes whos culture is based on some autistic traits. Like maybe it’s common for them to just leave mid-conversation or they see it as an insult if you make eye contact. That sounds like a fun idea.
Just don’t make autism their only trait or be afraid of not including an idea because it doesn’t fit the autism stick.
As others here have said it might be more about how you do it, not if it’s gnomes or any other species. The only thing I really associate with gnomes would be a low body height.

you can edit your post and correct the link I believe. Great post btw!

According to wiktionary infant comes from the Latin word infans, meaning “unable to speak”. The term fans means “to speak”.

Not sure if your Fanta can speak though :P

shoutout to this 80s punk song asking the same question but with hugely different energy :P

could’ve expanded GNU some more! :P

What do you call a group of 8 Hobbits?
A Hobbyte!

old pun by now but I still love it :P

Oh yeah, you’re right. Seems like the AI replaced dead with useless as in “dead batteries”. That is really awful.
