  • We’re talking about, say, learning Spanish and Duolingo be like “now translate this very long and overly specific sentence to English”

    Then you end up trying to construct the English sentence even though you’re learning Spanish

    Here’s an example where I think my sentence is perfectly fine, but it just expected a different word order. It expected me to put If at the beginning, but I didn’t notice it was capitalized.

    Korean doesn’t even have capital letters, why is it doing some gotcha about English capitalization when I already know English?



















  • I’ll tell you why I use it: to use open source software. I noticed whatever freemium program I used on Windows that was cool eventually got enshittified and became spyware. Like fucking clockwork, the author of uTorrent sold out and all the new versions became cancer

    Linux has better support for a lot of open source software, you can use a package manager to download most of it, and flatpak for a bunch that’s not there

    It’s just so much easier than trying to find the official site for the program you want.
