I'm also experiencing OP's problem.

> If a lecture is basic and you could indeed replace it with a quick video, look for better, more challenging or unique lectures/degrees/curricula.

This has for years been a point of frustration for me.

Do you have any suggestions on how to get into more challenging lectures when the previous ones are prerequisites, and cannot be tested out of?

Linux works great for the highly technical and the tech-ignorant.

However, the "ordinary users" among today's young people grew up with tech, and expect more advanced functionality. Advanced functionality that, on Linux, requires advanced knowledge because of how fragmented and rough it is.

You can also simply use "that said".

I've always taken the phrase "that being said" to be a variation of the phrase "that said" that isn't as assertive of what was said, relegating it to only "having been said" rather than set in stone

This is not the case. Companies for one do enforce woke culture. I believe GP wasn't talking about being physically attacked by a mob, rather their reputation and livelihood
There is an important distinction here:

Girls on average get higher grades. The modern education system is by and large assembly line busywork, or child daycare. From my personal experience the grade gap should be attributed to the average female being more willing to play the systems game, while the average male calls bullshit

On the contrary, I don't think it's the economy... it's your last paragraph. People just don't feel very encouraged to have children in such a toxic culture
Re:Helix: A Neovim inspired editor, written in Rust on Monday October 10, 2022 @08:22AM (#33150439)
Tried it a few months ago.

Felt more responsive than neovim/neovide, and out-of-box was great.

However, the selection > verb scheme conceptually made sense, but I noticed it took longer to do many basic text editing functions than it would with vim bindings. Perhaps others had a different experience?

Perhaps instead of granting inequal advantages to disadvantaged people, increasing access to self-improvement resources can help reduce the number of people struggling to operate in today's economy while maintaining equality
