Just told my family I won't be renewing our DuoLingo family subscription because I won't support their replacement of actual human workers with "AI". This explains why their quality has been declining.

I reported a few erroneous answer rejections and DuoLingo emailed that they've accepted one report as correct, but it's not my job to fix their increasingly poor software and I won't support their drive to maximize profits at all costs.

Good to see a successful leader calling out the managers destroying games and game teams in a quest to maximize profit and minimize debt. Looking at you, Embracer Group.

Hey everyone!

I'm working on a video to see what the Linux community (or at least people who follow me) actually use.

So, I created a little form, hosted on my Nextcloud (hopefully it's up to the task...)

It's only up for 2 days, so don't hesitate to share it around, it will help me "touch grass" and see if my preconceived notions are confirmed, or invalidated!

https://nextcloud.thelinuxexp.com/index.php/apps/forms/s/XQRzMrs8QTtCjDfSyP4koA9o

Of course, it's all anonymous, no personal data, it's just for the purposes of creating the video.

@thelinuxEXP I prefer to use (at home and work) a RHEL based OS, CentOS before IBM killed it and currently Alma, and it's different enough from Fedora that I chose Other for the distro. I also tend to run Windows as the host OS and Linux in VMs on my main home machine (Linux as host on other home machines). I thought there were lots of people doing the same.

You can take this test to see how "Normal" you are, and also how radically left wing you are! LOL Please share the results if you feel like it, or do nothing at all, because it really doesn't matter!

@RickiTarr An interesting test. I expected to be more male oriented and more progressive and leftist. I did choose a lot of one position from center instead of the max two positions from center because I didn't feel that strongly about "interest" questions.

@br00t4c contempt of court is a good first step but should be followed by additional charges, including against the lawyers endangering these women.

Tánaiste Micheál Martin, the Irish Minister for Foreign Affairs, said he believes that international humanitarian law is being contravened in the conflict and that too many civilians are losing their lives.

“There is clearly a lot of anger in Israel, but that does not justify, in my view, the scale of the bombardment on Gaza,” he said.
