“This button turns on the light in the hallway. Sometimes it brings the whole house down on you, but we haven’t found a way to reliably reproduce this. If that happens just crawl from under the rubble, rebuild the house, and try again. This time the light should turn on.“

“Oh, and send us the log messages.”

I download the internet archive once every month and copy it to stone tablets. Even if the world’s electricity reserve runs out, we’ll still have those.

In unrelated news, I’m looking for people with access to big stone quarries.

The problem with all these alternatives is that the language selection is extremely limited. You want to learn English, French, German, or Spanish? Great, there are a million options for you! But if you go a bit more niche like Finnish or Irish, your options are much more limited. Of course there are ways to learn those languages - and much better ways than Duolingo. But Duolingo's strength is offering a bunch of them, for free, in one place.

Note that I'm not trying to defend Duolingo, but rather deploring the lack of alternatives.

Apparently, they didn't know it by heart. If they had, they wouldn't have had to spend all that time searching.

Thank you. I was thoroughly confused by this title and the article’s use of “grandfathered”.

I work on software which is pirated. It is even sold by crackers, who make money off my work. This does not make me proud.

What does make me proud is when a paying customer says they love a specific feature, or that our software saves them a lot of manual work.

Exactly this. My small Reddit communities had a few posts per day. The equivalent on Lemmy have a few per year. Still, I don’t miss them enough to go back.
