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.

Edit: just remembered they can be used as food for pets.
Yeah, I read somewhere that the Sahara desert is very important to the Amazon Forest. Apparently, the desert sand travel over the ocean to fertilize that part of the world. Fascinating stuff!
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).
This smells fishy.
Completely agree! Windows 7 was the best Windows.
