Completely agree! Windows 7 was the best Windows.

Yep, they are a publicly traded company now. The shareholders demand more profit every quarter.

Want to really learn a language?

Watch this short video :https://youtu.be/E6588DlZW-c

Search : language transfer app/site, comprehensible input + target language (ie: Spanish), cognates.

It's obviously some marketing stunt. I believe yhe weird guilt-tripping behavior started after a meme appeared during the COVID19 confinement, showing the mascot saying something like "Spanish or vanish." This massively boosted traffic to the app and led to its enshittification into this engagement-first, teaching-second garbage app they have today. I genuinely enjoyed the mascot before that.

Tldr; Nah, likely just engagement boosting.

Sadly, the Duolingo owl died. It was useless for teaching a language, but definitely was a superb mascot.

Boil the milk? Like, I don't understand what's the problem with raw milk.

extreme loneliness meet cockroaches? Hmmm... Make it set in Cthulhu mythos, sprinkle some kafka metamorphosis and you got yourself a nice PS1 styled indie horror game.

Are you farming the cockroaches for protein/milking them or something? I can't fathom any other reason why anyone would want cockroaches other that these weird cases I read about on some science magazine.

Edit: just remembered they can be used as food for pets.

I have an AMD R5 8600g with the internal m760 IGPU, and with Citron I've been able to play "Super Mario wonder" pretty smoothly (no stutter) even without shader cache. Set emulation to medium+ handheld+ (the sitting that makes compiling shader cache in it's own thread).

I've listened to the French audiobooks of two Zealia Bishop stories, and the endings are so absurdly racist that I couldn't help but laugh.

In "Medusa's Coil" :

Tap for spoilerThe story ends with the main character saying something in the vein of "But worst of all, she was mixed race." I was completely floored.

In "The Mound":

Tap for spoilerThe main character reads about the horrors inflicted by an underground civilization on those who break the law, try to enter, or try to leave. This information comes from a conquistador whom they’ve kept alive to gather information on the surface world. A noblewoman from this underground society falls in love with the conquistador and shares family secrets with him, hoping to escape and live happily ever after. However, he reveals that he’s just using her to escape. When they're caught, she suffers the terrible fate he described. She's used For vile entertainments in an arena, has her head cut off, her body reconstructed, and is turned into a zombie that guards the gate she once hoped to escape through. The conquistador is spared, though, because of his importance. Despite being warned that there won’t be a next time, he tries to escape again. Eventually, our main character digs into the mound and finds a chamber, and the story concludes with something I can summize as : "I can't believe they did the same thing to white conquistador ".

Hellooooo! (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 
 

j'ai remarqué qu'il y avait beaucoup de tumulte en France sans vraiment comprendre ce qui se passe. Je sais qu'il y a eu des élections et que la droite a failli gagner, mais je ne comprends pas pourquoi la droite est tant adulée par les habitants de la compagnes et pourquoi la haine de l'autre est devenue si banale ( petit rappel à la vidéo de la femme qui hurlait des propos racistes et xénophobes à sa voisine).
