  • Duolingo Fires Translators in Favor of AI

    Jump

  • Duolingo isn’t a good resource for learning a language, it’s focus is user retention

    These two statements contradict each other. To learn a language you must practice it every day, week after week, month after month. It's an appropriate application of addictive game mechanics, because our motivation doesn't last long: 1-3 months for most people.

    Duolingo might not be the best place to learn some languages (e.g. German), but it can be a very helpful tool for everyday practice. And stuff like streaks, leagues, and other things are rather helpful.

  • What qbittorent + vpn docker image do you use?

    Jump 
  •  
        
$ cat Projects/qbittorrent/docker-compose.yml 
version: "2.1"
services:
  qbittorrent:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/qbittorrent:latest
    container_name: qbittorrent
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/Berlin
      - WEBUI_PORT=8081
    volumes:
      - /path/to/appdata/config:/config
      - /home/username/Downloads/Torrents:/downloads
    ports:
      - 8081:8081
      - 6881:6881
      - 6881:6881/udp
    restart: unless-stopped

    The whole server is running under the VPN.

  • anyone with the tech knowledge

    That rules out most of the people.

  • It seems so strange to me that we are locked in battle with providers mining our lives for whatever, and we have to work our asses off trying to stay anonymous, to the point of being denied service

    Jump

  • to the point of being denied service

    Yes. Spotify blocks my account if I'm using VPN, ChatGPT asks to solve ridiculous captchas (on a paid account!). It's crazy. Reddit blocks access if you're on the VPN and not logged in.

  • good battery life (I don’t want to worry about)

    Define good battery life.

  • The march towards an all-EV future hit a major roadblock. What went wrong?

    Jump

  • Yep, that is a major issue for many people in my country, as most live in apartments.

  • Removed

  • You forgot to describe what's your problem.

  • Is there not a movie/TV review site in the fediverse?

    Jump

  • Lol it's like a corporation joined Fediverse: "Let's create a service that'll do everything." Specialization is what makes them good.

  • Microsoft is adding a new key to PC keyboards for the first time since 1994

    Jump

  • Given where it's located, I don't plan to use it. I already have 3 useless buttons to the right of the space bar!

  • The march towards an all-EV future hit a major roadblock. What went wrong?

    Jump

  • Imagine instead of fueling up once or twice a week, you start everyday at Full.

    Sure. I can also imagine Taylor Swift sitting on my lap, but that won't change the reality. If you live in a regular tenement block, charging your car becomes a problem, and you'll be the one paying for the infrastructure if it's not there yet (and it isn't where I live). Add these extra costs to the difference between a regular and EV car. Even if you're ready to pay, it's not guaranteed that other residents will approve that.

  • The march towards an all-EV future hit a major roadblock. What went wrong?

    Jump

  • Well, I can only speak for myself: EVs cost 5-10k more and I can't charge it in one minute like a regular car.

  • Happy new year of the Linux Desktop!

    Jump

  • That's an improvement. But risk = impact * probability. Realistically, the probability of installing such an app from repos is virtually non-existent. My point is that Wayland comes with some improvements, but I've been seeing comments like the one I replied to for almost 15 years, as if Wayland will revolutionize Linux desktop. It won't. Probably most users won't see any difference, except for bugs caused by the migration.

  • Happy new year of the Linux Desktop!

    Jump

  • If that was true, we would be on Wayland for years. But in reality, it proves minor improvements versus heavy investments to migrate from X. And that's why it's still a fetish and not a standard.

  • China's Xi says reunification with Taiwan is 'inevitable' in New Year's address

  • Is this a preview of 2024? I don't like it!

  • Happy new year of the Linux Desktop!

    Jump

  • I don't understand this fetish. Every day I read about problems people have with Wayland, while I've been using X for the past 15 years without any issues.

  • Why is Go capitalized? I was slightly confused :D

  • World will look back at 2023 as year humanity exposed its inability to tackle climate crisis, scientists say

    Jump

  • Why is the blame placed solely on wealthy individuals? While they do bear a share of the responsibility, it's also important to consider the role of everyday citizens. The choices made by voters, such as supporting climate change deniers or prioritizing short-term economic growth over long-term environmental sustainability, play a greater role in shaping policies. It's unreasonable to blame the system when the existing checks and balances refuse to act.
