Aw fuck, I missed it :(

Christ, premium light is still fucking 8 dollars a month and you don’t even get rid of ads. The greed is fucking astounding.

I’ll stick to an adblocker, dickheads.

Its a frustrating problem. I’m not surprised with the court decision given how the US sees legal responsibility/liability, but that also leaves no one on the hook for all the damage that’s been done because in the eyes of the law it’s lots of small wrongs that have added up to huge cumulative damage.

Its the same thing with the climate crisis, though in that case I think there’s a much better case for the liability of various companies and the US government. Not that that’s stopped the courts from consistently saying “we don’t have the power to manage this issue” (they kinda do actually), or that the giant corporations/us government aren’t legally responsible for the environmental harm.

Looks like a delicious start to the day ☺️

At some point I will but I’m not currently ready to make that transition. My friend and I are using Duolingo together and the social aspect plus the familiarity of the structure have been really helpful

They walked back the ai thing (at least that’s my understanding about it, I think there was a statement about it, not that that means much) but it’s very clear it wont be something that’s likely to work for me long term

But for the time being the structure that it provides and its format has helped me build a routine and actually stay pretty consistent, and I don’t think I’m at a place yet where I can transition away from it

But I have checked out the Foss options and there were some neat supplemental tools on f-droid, and at some point I’ll go through the play store and try out direct alternatives

This seems like it’ll break things like revanced, which honestly makes me sad mostly for Duolingo :(

Really hope folks find a way of spoofing this too. I’m hoping to switch to a custom ROM in the future and this doesn’t bode super well
