Got my Master's Diploma with honours finally digitised in Diia app [1], and yet in Czech Republic I'm not allowed to prepend "Ing." to my name.

@oleksandr Probably not much of an issue though. The younger generation no longer views people flaunting their degrees around their name as worthy. If anything, you'd come across as a tryhard prick.

@liskin I often notice people change attitude once I mention I've got a Master's degree. This observation is confirmed by other people too.

@oleksandr Yeah, sure, mention it. That's fine. Just don't put it on your house bell label.

Imagine "vgn. Oleksandr Natalenko user of Arch". It's the same kind of silly.

@liskin @oleksandr having everyone introduce themselves with the distro they use sounds about like the right kind of silly to me ;)

@oleksandr @liskin you must emphasize the Інженер part though. If you say Master studies (magisterské in cz) people here will think you're a pharmacist. The only escape from having Mgr. and not Ing. is to upgrade to a doctorate :(

@liskin @oleksandr @vbabka no I did the wrong degree (long, long story involving crazy upbringing and yeah you don't want to know or maybe you do but then you have to buy me beer).

That + cramming + having gone to imperial which is the crammiest of crammy cram places means I know literally nothing about it

@ljs @oleksandr @vbabka I've been meaning to buy you a beer for a while anyway. The only question is do I need to cycle to Surrey or do you ever fly from Stansted? (I'm in E17 so the perfect place to couchsurf before a morning flight.)

@liskin @oleksandr @vbabka I like this plan :)

I never fly from stansted because it is a cursed place.

I'm sure we can find some middle ground though, I come into the office once a month, so can maybe ping you on one of these days? :)

@lkundrak @ljs @oleksandr @liskin @vbabka Then you ain't no real imposter. I can even SOUND like a mathematician. And people would believe I have studied the subject. Until I'm asked to show a formal proof of Rice's theorem, or some such, of course…
