The whole switch to Wayland pisses me off
Not sure what you mean. Been running Wayland for years with little to no problems. No desktop environment though

I want to go to study in Norway
Not going to comment on people in general, but I'll offer some personal experience as a Norwegian. Had a russian colleague a while back. She was hard working, smart, lovely and kind. Don't have a single negative thing to say about her. However, when the subject of her origin came up things was a bit weird. It was hard to talk about. Not because of the talking, but more because of fear of not knowing what she would be willing to talk about. It's also a bit scary because depending on what our stances on things were, it could easily turn into a conflict.
I also remember thinking to myself that no matter how good and honest she was as a person, she is still a security risk. Her connections to her country, i.e. friends and family, can be used as leverage to have her do things she doesn't want to.
That said; if you are willing to get through those hurdles and understand/agree with the general Norwegian perspective on the Ukraine situation, I think you'll be alright

Russia threatens to ban GTA 6 unless this ' immoral content' is removed
Sorry. You lost your right to call anything immoral when you stole a generation of Ukrainian kids with the goal of training them to be soldiers against their own country

I get that. Surely there's bugs. I just wanted to add the perspective since you painted a picture of a broken technology. I'd talk to your distro's maintainers if they are rolling out unstable stuff

I think the OP way is still ways better than what we are currently doing. And done right it wouldn't be any more exploiting than what we are doing to neurotypicals. Everyone needs to feel valuable and that they have a purpose. I for one feel most alive when my skills are put to good use

Still?? The elitist culture threw me off programming over twenty years ago. I really thought and hoped it had changed

No. This is what happens when you allow too much economic distance between the rich and the poor

Have you ever just felt so bored with life that you wanna die?
My cure is to try new hobbies/activities. Especially ones that require your complete focus. Like Motorsports. Personally I have a lot of anxiety when it comes to singing in front of people, resulting in everything else disappearing during the vocal lessons I for some reason signed up for.
It used to make me sad that I couldn't hold a single hobby, but I guess I'm just not built for it. Trying different ones as often as needed is more up my alley

Why are Ukrainians in Western Europe still treated as second-class europeans?
I believe it's because fear of the unknown is a strong human instinct. Also, it doesn't help that people clawing for power knows the oldest trick in the book for gathering support is to exploit it by blaming something (or someone) less known for any prominent problem
I'm sorry this is happening to you

Yeah I know. I forgot to mention I ended up as a programmer anyway and I've met tons of wonderful colleagues. I just hoped the elitist culture had gone away
