It feels that every few months Duolingo ups the amount of distraction inside their app. The amount of garbage you have to click through after every lesson has been too much for too long (especially since you have to wait for the various animations to complete before you can click past them). Recently they’ve added annoying lightning flashes inside the lessons, as well as dribbling animations about XP every time you answer a question correctly. It was annoying, now it’s borderline intolerable. I don’t use it as much as I used to, I no longer recommend it to people, and I don’t plan to re-up my subscription when it expires.

It’s too bad, because somewhere under all those flashing lights and disco balls is a totally decent program.

Doesn't seem to offer much that the Steam Deck itself doesn't.

I guess just good to have options? Still waiting on Asus...

I couldn't find this in the report... Does anyone know if windows games run via proton would be reported as on windows or on Linux? I only wonder because I was having some troubles with a steam deck game recently, which I fixed (under advisement) by switching from the native Linux version to the windows version running under proton...

Maybe they can put the SIM in the millimeters-thick case the iPhone will require to protect its delicacy?

I guess it worked, since I just watched the advertisement and they didn't have to pay anyone to play it.

Right now Rivian and Tesla have a bit of elbow room in the electric market, but Iâ(TM)m guessing some of the other manufacturers will not take that attitude.

While I'm not as off-the-cuff about my search engine--I've been a use-Google-because-it-works person since it first came into existence--I did recently make the switch to DDG on my phone.
The AI situation feels worse on the phone, as the '"summary" fills up the entire screen, and I scroll past this summary like an advertisement because while it may contain useful information, I'm rarely in the mood to fact-check someone's AI.
And even before the AI, Google already had me scrolling past way too many purchasables ("What is the melting point of aluminum" does not mean that I'm shopping for a new stew pot.)
And after all that scrolling, I get a precious few actual links, of which 3 out of 7 times the only helpful link is Wikipedia.
So for me, the Google search engine is feeling a little artless. And if there's no art to searching, I'll just use whatever gets me to usable results faster.
Made that change about three weeks ago: Google still on my laptop, DDG on my phone. Actual search results seem to be on par with one another, but DDG has a lot less foo. I imagine soon I'll switch over the laptop as well.

Myself as well. Itâ(TM)s good to have a far off end date, as Iâ(TM)m taking to slow deliberate route, testing and learning on an older system.

âoeOptionalâ it says.

Isnâ(TM)t lack of options one of the bigger complaints about proprietary software?

Iâ(TM)m sure if Microsoft really wanted to help Wine, they could come up with something else.

Access to internal API documentation leaps to mindâ¦

If you are a business paying staff to curate games, you will need to justify that expense (as in pay for, if not profit from). That eventually means monetizing the process (see Amazonâ(TM)s Kindle Marketplace), which will bring you equal or greater criticisms.

Will they use computer simulations to train indigenous ant species to defeat the invaders? Perhaps even ant VR?

I think this is the likely fallout of this move, whether you have sympathy or not: Their competitors can now offer a new, significant thing that they canâ(TM)t, so Red Hat has taken on the burden the proof of value. They say their programming teamâ(TM)s contributions will still make them the best choice, but the judges will be customers and time.

Just another step in the evolution of technology, as Garageband was pretty much the death knell of the Yamaha keyboard demo button.

And by curious, I mean not assurredly the right ones. For example, using an entirely new processor, instead of any of the ones that see popular at the moment. Also, sticking with 5 volts when the shift to 3.3 seems well under way.
