there’s also a nice (long) article by propublica from a few years ago
there’s also session
unfortunately privacy and usability are inversely related. session is private. I loved it. but I had no one to chat with 😃
I had no idea if any of my contacts were on session or not.

I know a little about the academic system. it’s not an easy market to succeed in. but if you do it’s a wonderful life. you’re free to work on problems you find interesting, without worrying about whether or not they are profitable.
sounds like you genuinely love doing research in math, given that you put in a lot of time and voluntarily turned down a cushy job.
my suggestion is to put your nose to the grindstone and pass your quals. it’s not easy and not everyone makes it… but it sounds like the path to the career you want is this way.
if you’re planning to leave because trump got elected, then be warned. the UK has similar problems
check where your retirement and savings are invested. buy a low cost index fund (fidelity and vanguard have great ones).
do not invest in any funds that have high fees. (there are plenty of good funds with fees around 0.1%)
I split my savings between:
- total domestic stock index
- total international stock index
- cash/money market/bonds
- a small amount in a sector fund with higher growth potential (e. g. tech) or risky investments
if they’ll cheat with you, they’ll cheat on you
the only social media I have is Lemmy and mastodon. I prefer Lemmy to mastodon. (I also have kbin)
I quit Facebook, Reddit, Twitter etc. because of content manipulation. They suppress posts against their agenda and promote those for their agenda. I always knew this, but when I realized I was being influenced, I deleted my accounts and quit.
Only things I’ll use now are open source, decentralized, and non profit owned. (I’ll gladly donate)
