I'm listening to the podcast "the history of rock in 500 songs." He sais there that plenty of people in rock'n'roll were shit. Half the posts should be downvoted based on that.
Highly recommend the podcast, though.

Not really. I have a Google drive, but I gradually reduce my use of it. I don't upload personal stuff there.
I have two hard drive at home that I use to sync all my information from my phone/computer to for backup (using syncthing). One day I'll pay for a fixed IP/VPN service for remote access to these drives. The two drives are in two different locations in the house.
I would like to have a drive in an additional location for backup. But I don't want it online.
Example: if we are willing to walk around with smartphones that are 5mm thicker and 50g heavier, and a bit less slick in design, we can fix them instead of buying new ones. This kind of things. And we are not even willing to give that up.
This guy speaks about this (I'm not sure if this is the right video)
Came here to say that, thank you.
The section at the back almost spells "oralporn"
Add to everything that people said here the fact that most movies are basically shit
I'm speaking from my own experience of learning four languages using Duolingo and other sources: Hearing, reading, and typing don't cover the full process of learning a language. Speaking it adds another valuable layer of skill which is not only about speaking it, but also about extracting the words from your memory in a fluent way. That's the value is see in speaking exercises.
That being said, both in french and Italian, the speaking exercises are the foundation for my ability. In both cases it provided me with speaking skills that are good enough for me to be understood by (willing) native speakers.
Yes! This is it. Thank you!
I don't like skipping them. In my eyes, even if I'm wrong, it's still a good practice. But repeating the same phrase every day and getting the negative feedback is annoying
I'm trying to be more aware of the photo I'm taking. Try to capture something and use some basic rules like third. Took this photo a few weeks ago. Nothing sophisticated, used my Samsung phone.

Practice. And then practice more And more And even more. Unlike all the shame people give it, I still think that Duolingo is a good tool. But, Duolingo on its own is not enough. Without using the language you won't get it.
I used Duolingo for Italian French czehc and Greek. It is enough for me to allow me know what an article is about in these language. If you want to get to conversation level, be ready to embrasse yourself. Without willing to make these mistakes, no matter what you do, you won't manage the language.
For context, my experience: Italian: started with Duolingo, eventually hired a teacher to improve my speaking level. I'm not perfect, but I manage to joke with the casual Italians I meet. French: used almost only Duolingo. There are however plenty of books and films and shows in french. I was in Paris a year ago, communicated almost solely in french and managed to do everything I need (including taking a friend to a clinic after he hit his head) Greek: started with Duolingo and hired a teacher for a while. It is hard to find communication partners and material so my level is not as high as I would like. To manage reading an article I need to concentrate very hard. Czech: still basic. I'm only half way through the Duolingo tree. I'm searching for other rmaterials, but I'm mostly lacking the time to dedicate myself to the task.
