#Duolingo decided it was more important to peddle their software in #Russia than to acknowledge the existence of #LGBTQ people. I just deleted my Duolingo app and account because I think it's more important to treat people with dignity than to kowtow to a malevolent dictator and war criminal. But that's just me.
I've now finished the wood for these #mordheim models - I learned that if I make the stick long, I can grip it with pliers and saw it much more easily.
Duolingo has removed references to queerness on its Russian platform and is therefore complying with fascists. I just cancelled my subscription. Amazing how hard it was to get past the “but I have a 450 day streak!” feeling. #DoNotComply#LGBTQ+ #Duolingo#TinyAntiFascistAction
W świetle doniesień o tym, jak #Duolingo 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.
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 #40k or #aos objective marker for today's #miniPainting. 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.
Last night i left a little rant about how #Duolingo '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 #Esperanto They stepped up helped. One dug out a helpful link, another explained things in detail that took time.
Bin ich eigentlich der einzige, der sich gern nen Spaß draus macht, aus diesen #Duolingo-Aufgaben mit den vorgegebenen Wörtern mehr oder weniger lustige alternative Sätze zu bauen?
Alors ça non plus, je ne sais pas trop dans quel contexte ça a du sens. Ça doit être plutôt rare quand même… en tout cas, je me suis pas sûr que ça me servir sur place 😅 #japonais#nihongo#DuoLingo
