While the whole world is getting worse, my life is going to get so much better.

In less than a month I’m going back to my home country of France. I will be able to go see my girlfriend after so long ! I will get my first apartment with my own shower and toilet instead of this 7m2 dorm. I even get to renovate it to get the exact look I want. It may sound ridiculous, but I’m looking forward to starting an apprenticeship at this company, I was there for two months and actually liked it. I may be able to get the first surgery I need, and go back to a civilised health care system. And so much more.

I was like dead doing nothing for years, and now I have projects I am passionate about, people I love and care for and so much to look forward to.

I just hope that my gender will not be in the way of that, and that they don’t destroy the world before I can start to live.

I wish we did with more open source and local software. My school in Canada has some agreement with Microsoft so we have to use everything from them.
The school mail used for all accounts is hosted by outlook
The databases are all azure
The 2fa app on our phone to boot the school computer has to be Microsoft (even gave me shit because I am root…)
Teams
We had a whole course for a year on how to use word.

It’s a public school. Obviously with this most students will move to the USA for higher pay, we are literally subsidizing the USA education.

I really tried, I set duckduckgo as the default for my second browser (I use it a lot) to slowly get used to it, but every time results are so bad I get mad and switch to Google especially for images

It isn’t easy to create sockpuppets because in case of a fight like here, Wikipedia decisions are taken by the oldest members. 20 new accounts can’t override the decision of a 10 years old account with a lot of contributions.

Wikipedia has its issues, but not this one.
