Idea for a rage room except instead of plates and broken electronics to smash it’s filled with hundreds of piñatas of the owl.

" removes all content from its app in "

I mean we all know what Russia is and what it represents.

But if there is any lingering confusion about what the West is faced with by Russia.

And if there any confusion about the synergy between Western and Russian goals.

W świetle doniesień o tym, jak ulega presji Moskwy (np. https://mastodon.social/@benroyce/112560348406488620), i wcześniejszych doniesień o tym, jak wywala ludzi na rzecz LLM-ów, myślę sobie: ciekawe, czy kolejne pokolenia moskiewskiego wywiadu będą w stanie poradzić sobie z angielskim.

Any good sources for a very quick but efficient intro to #Icelandic? It’s not on #Duolingo 😭

My Duolingo Spanish lesson tonight taught me how to say, "I can make a solider happy" and...

I can't stop laughing.

It's always good to learn helpful phrases. Gracias, Duo.

Rather than sit around all day and be miserable I went outside saw people and was un-miserable. I still ended up somewhat rushing this single solitary or objective marker for today's . I had planned on picking out a few parts with white and then using a colour express to make some details pop, but, I thought it looked so much better just like this that I decided to pick out a lot of details in white and just leave them like that.

Like the hairstreak butterfly, the Duolingo owl displays “false head” mimicry, which diverts predators’ attacks away from its real head.

Last night i left a little rant about how 's lack of explanations for anything made it impossible to derive when or why you'd use some observable rules AND that it made it impossible to know if it the sentence was correct or an AI generated fuck-up.

It was Perfect fodder for "reply guys", but instead 2 folks showed why i love They stepped up helped. One dug out a helpful link, another explained things in detail that took time.

Thanks Esperanto folks. 🙇‍♀️

@masukomi

is really good for practice. But sadly, they removed their grammar material back in 2023.

The theory is that you should learn by example, like you did when you were a baby.

But of course, adults don't learn the way babies do.

As a language newsletter I get mentioned, grammar is a way to hack the adult brain.

Most languages have forums on reddit, discord, or even lemmy.

Some people even use AI (like chat-gpt, co-pilot) to explain what is wrong with an answer.

Once again #Duolingo is celebrating a very strange number of days and I have no idea why.

365 (days) * 3.5 (years) is 1277.5 days but they are so operating 1275.

Leap days, don’t even make this work.

Also, how many people know that 1275 is approximately 3 1/2 years without doing math ?

Cancelled my subscription. Close to the end of the course, which not being one of the big, well-maintained ones (Irish), was very underwhelming. Slán, ulchabhán glas.

As fun as it can be to learn a language, just learning it with no context makes it harder to keep my interest. Add some context, however, and bam!

Human: reading new toy's instructions in a different language, visiting a foreign country and ordering food, following along in a conversation on , etc.

Computer: fiddling with someone's open source project that is in a language you don't know, doing a code jam for a particular framework/language, etc.
