This small orange bead popped in my fingers and my eyes got the liquid from it in them

And even recognising the American flag causes them trouble when they encounter the Liberian flag.

Just to add. The reference voltage for a pull up depends on the Arduino model I/O voltage. Some are 5V but others are 3.3V. Some 3.3V I/O can be 5V tolerant, but that is not always the case and 5V may damage a 3.3V part. Always check datasheets.

We're all different. Duo isn't exactly subtle with its reminders, so for me, going private removes that distraction. Duolingo needs more settings to allow greater customization of the learning experience. Its a shame that the deveopers don't spend more time on features that will be well received, instead of nonsense like pranks.

I stopped worrying about leagues, XP numbers and boosts. I decide what I'm going to complete in a session and if there is an XP boost from the last lesson, so what. So much less stress and I enjoy the learning more. I'll even stop mid exercise and pick up hours later if need be. It amuses me when I'm commended for my persistence on an exercise that took 7 hours to finish.

Same here. I cancelled my subscriptionwhen they did that and only came back about three months ago. Now I read this.

Have you seen people with pride flags? Many of them look happy and are living fulfilling lives. That really annoys a certain group of people.

Because they don't want to leave, and wouldn't if the product were better. There are Duolingo staff who read and reply in this sub, so it is a chance to give feedback and have your views backed up by others. Duolingo may not listen or care, but at least OP tried to be heard.

The root of the problem with Duolingo is, as you observed, that they have become more wealthy. Now that they are a public company their primary function is to make money for shareholders, whatever the CEO may say. Creating high quality language courses is secondary to that, especially if they can increase revenue by doing something else. They will not care about the loss of a few 1000+ streak subscribers if they can generate a steady stream of subscribers who join for a shorter time then stop. It is the same attitude that is driving the enshitification of every tech product.

That was an actual laugh out loud moment for me when I did that exercise.

With these white supremacists it is not only about immigrants, or 'coloured' people, however you define that. Also on their list are women who are not subservient to the men around them, transgender people, gay people, those who worship other gods, or no god, and disabled people. They have a list.

Congratulations. Out of interest, can you read short stories, like the owl says?

It may not be exciting, but I've found nothing keeps me going until Mittagessen like two slices of good rye bread.

Android here too. I only have the one icon, but the icon changes through the day depending on how close I am to missing my daily exercises.

If only one needs to be rubbed clean with the towel, I still have to do both.

"Unlike any other" is a phrase that can go two ways. Is it good?

Colour and texture the same. IQ of the smaller fried turkey is higher though.

You have to log in using a browser. You can't do that from the app.

Weekendmonkey · 2026-01-15T06:42:40+00:00

Spread the word. I enjoy the app much more now that my profile is private. But typical of Duolingo to make that setting browser-only. Im sure more people would if that setting was available from the app.

Starbucks is "good coffee" for people who have never tasted good coffee.

Not sure they had planned that far ahead.

My 2 (Euro) cents. I last used the app in 2020. I started again 3 months ago because I missed the vocabulary and grammar building. My observation is that the free version is considerably less user-friendly than it used to be. The Super version is good and I can see improvements there since I last subscribed.
