nope, “The dog is cooking a dinner” is that kind of absurdist sentence that works. So that I just don’t guess a human on the subject position. Or ‘eating’ for the verb

I’ve seen quality drops of Duolingo, ever since their … IPO, sadly.

Anyway, here’s some ways you can milk the rest of the Duolingo before completely abandoning it.

• Use the web version, and type in all the answers if it’s possible. Selecting words are good for introducing new words (and reminder in case you forgot), but by typing it on your own, it’s faster to commit into memory.
• Use classroom mode to get unlimited hearts, create your own classroom and invite yourself in. I assume that Duolnigo will probably eventually stop this loophole
• Use search engine to search for the sentences you’re unsure of. No, don’t use machine translation, but search on the internet, and see if the sentence ever being used by the sites (news, academic, or personal homepage) using the target language.

I sadly still don’t know what other comparable free alternatives to Duolingo. Anki is great, but it’s largely flashcard for words, not sentences (unless you want to create your own deck). The others require subscription fee.

Other methods? Search for pdf of language grammar files, there are a lot out there. Some are godawful to read, especially those ‘Comprehensive Grammar Guide’ books. Some are amazing, e.g. Tae Kim’s Guide to Japanese.

Yeah, this is frustrating.

I can handle absurd sentences like “The dog is cooking the dinner”, and actually finds them beneficial because it prevents me from guessing the whole sentence.

But this is a sign that not enough human efforts are poured into create permutation of the answers.

I dunno why I misread that as Sex Bot

I tried few episodes of For All Mankind, but dropped it because it’s very very slow.

I think I’m going to give it another try, since I heard that it’s really good afterwards.

I’ve just finished replaying the base FF7 Remake, in preparation of FF7 Rebirth. Also I haven’t touched INTERmission yet.

Some of the games that I’m excited to play in 2024: FF7 Rebirth, Metaphor ReFantazio, Eiyuuden Chronicles, and maybe Dragon’s Dogma 2.

I remember Mirai botnet that scanned for default password on IoT cameras.

They could definitely become a weak link.

I think Google support team might have started to see the pattern, getting feedback that they are starting to take action against them.

I don’t know if it fits all the prereqs of a FOSS, but there’s mycroft and there’s also jasper

But I have no idea how advanced they are, or how good their 3rd party integrations are.

Depression sets in pretty early, lmao, as expected. Wonder how long do I have left in me.
