Nightmare shit.

This would be stupid easy to implement though.

Fragments is a very nice torrent client on gnome

Duolingo has had a marked drop in quality lately. Lots of the translations are outright wrong now. Oftentimes the translation of characters doesn't even match the options they present to you.

The only utility of Duolingo is the extreme gamification with streaks and leagues. The company is extremely aware of this, which is why new lesson types and content are so slow to roll out, because they can attract and retain more users by focusing dev time on new gamification mechanics.

I run an Ollama server and use it to practice Chinese. Same with Deepseek.

Actually a nice use case for "AI", but I would have no idea when the LLM model is making shit up, so there's that. Still pretty damn useful until I'm good enough to not burden my Chinese friends with boring ass extremely basic conversations.

Wait how did you get the modded APK?

Also HelloChinese is better if that's the language you are learning. Doesn't even require an account. You only need to login if you want shared progress across multiple devices.

Also we can probably use archive.org or something.

We need a new domain minted every month so we can post links under the radar.

The most endearing aspect of Trump is that he has the humor of a middle school student.

By re-engineering the problematic gene regions, the researchers made it possible for two sets of male chromosomes to support a developing mouse.

The implication that female genes are "problematic" is a funny one.

Some decent suggestions, others not so great.

Why tf is turning off advertising ID on the last week?! Stupid easy and prevents many more services other than Google from targetting you.

Half of these privacy browser extensions make no difference since they make you more fingerprintable due to your unique set of signals based on what is blocked. Unless you're gonna install CanvasBlocker or NoScript, adding these extensions doesn't due a damn bit of good besides blocking ads and bloated telemetry scripts.

Also, all of this is kinda moot if you run a version of Android with Google Play Services. Using GrapheneOS, a mobile Linux distro, or getting a Huawei phone is absolutely necessary if you don't want Google to see every single notification you get on your device.

Normie-friendly privacy guides always suck ass because they don't ever explain threat modelling. It's always switch to this other corporation's cloud services instead of using offline-first or self-hosted services.
