Our electoral system is inherently biased against 3rd party candidates due to the spoiler effect of first past the post voting. The only solution is election reform that regulates election finances, a switch to approval/STAR voting, and regulation on political ads.
What I am saying is, I don’t think people who use duolingo are any better/worse off than most other methods.
I think that would go for most learning methods. When you don’t practice a skill you’re always going to get worse with it over time, especially if it is a language.
Doable but you need teachers to open source their lessons and vet them.
If an OS alternative was trying to completely replace duolingo, it would need far more than that. Duolingo has had extensive work put into listening and speaking lessons. Almost all lessons have a listening componentwhich is a ton of content to make up for. They have significantly better voice recognition than my phone. The amount of effort to get something like that working for a language, let alone dozens of languages is a high bar.
Take a look at any of the job postings that duolingo has, they’re only looking for Google employee level of skill for a reason (aside from how fucked the job market is).
It’s not impossible for duolingo to be replaced with an open source version, but it’s a giant undertaking.
Minetest maybe. Microsoft is making some bad choices for minecraft and I’d like to see more love for its open source competitor.
It is one of those indeed :)
get things; make things;
I can recommend against enders. I have two friends with them, and one myself. Between the 3 of us none of them are currently working, and its been like this since i found out all 3 of us had 3d printers. Keeping them working is like pulling teeth.
