It takes two is a fantastic experience to have with a loved one, even if inexperienced with games, it is very forgiving
“I live in a trashy society” don’t we all brother
More seriously, you got great advices in the thread, esp the pen and the muffins. You can offer sweets without having it mistaken as a romantic gestures, it then depends on the sweets you offer. A box of chocolates intent can easily be misconstrued, a box of donuts/muffins, much less so. Except if said muffins have hearts on them, it’s all about context.
Good luck !
It’s easier said than done tbh. It seems to be slowly changing lately tho, there’s hope still.
Do you know if there are, or if there are plans for a “new” Turing test ?
Stop blaming Devs and blame corpo above them. Can’t guarantee that’s the case here but it’s almost always their fault rather than the Devs when things go wrong on a launch like this.
Numerous studies have proven that WFH is better for production, morale of the worker, and then the plethora of perks that comes with not having to go to work.
It doesn’t make your point null, but you’re more or less just the exception that confirms the rule.
And I’m not using anything not available to app users, unless you’re using IOS but at this point, I think you have others problems to worry about experience wise overall
You get streak freezes for free now (through quests), relatively often even, I generally get them back in two days if I use both of them in a weekend because I’m busy.
I really considered subscribing until I started using it on Firefox because of the ads, without the ads it’s a great free experience imo
Privacy Badger and ublock origin here, never ever got an ad on Firefox
No, they don’t punish typos, to the point I sometimes have mistakes counted as typos (I distinctly remember typing Schwimmt instead of schwimmst the other day and it said Be careful typos, but counted it right, end up having to check with my gf in those cases)
I don’t know why the experience seems so different between people, maybe it actually is, maybe it’s expectations. All in all it’s free, I don’t forget that and through Firefox android I get a very good experience.
Can’t speak for the entshitification but actively punished unsubscribed users?
I’ve been using it for two months, learning Germans, I just use Firefox in android instead of the app and I get no ads, only 5 failures but I rarely reach that on a daily basis (I don’t want to burnout and I’m pretty sure it’s better for learning to not go too fast) and if I ever reach it, I currently have 1k gems. I’m actually surprised at how little use I’d get out of the subscription.
Thanks for the shares, very interesting, it’s much worse than I thought it turns out ahah
I’m not on masto, lemmy is enough to browse for me on a daily basis but I might check out a few things there
Now, even though it might not change much to the future of the fediverse with meta meddling, I’m definitely migrating !
Or move to a wiser instance that already defederated with them.
Now I’ll block you, because not only you’re a broken disc that doesn’t take input into account, you’re also short sighted.
Calling very justified wariness about Threads “doomsaying” is naive, at best.
If I let you keep going you’re about to tell me that Facebook and Instagram aren’t that bad, so let’s stop here.
So you are very ignorant about who’s behind Threads, how they operate and what they do, roger
YMMV ofc but I’d tend to agree that it makes sense yes.
Calling defederating Threads a “panic kneejerk reaction” is being very ignorant about who they are and what they do.
Since it’s a moot point now, it’s not a consideration anymore but ew no, that wasn’t even an option in the first place.
I’m gonna guess that “Quite the opposite; I have very strong morals. This however icludes things like not lying which means that I always speak the truth and not everyone likes hearing it. I don’t follow many of the social norms expected of me.”
is the reason for this
“A person recently said to me that they sometimes feel gaslighted around me because I so effortlesly make them question their own beliefs and feelings.”
It’s good to remember that most of our society is based on lying, and that most people prefer someone nice, rather than someone honest.
