How fast can you actually type on it before the game UI can't keep up? Are you keeping some kind of input buffer to deal with that?

Code is for the government. The people should be free to celebrate the freedom it's meant to represent.

Not as toxic and influenced by corporate greed so far. Let it get big enough and it'll come

It was in a rounded, 3gs-like case

Immersion classes are a lot different than the modem idea of immersion learning that I've been exposed to.

To summarize: maximize 'input' by listening to a large amount of the target language.

Typically it's combined with things like flash cards to accelerate vocabulary, and native language grammar explanations. I don't really see many people touting exclusively immersion anymore, but there's still no replacement for spending time 'immersed' in using the target language.

Maybe 'exclusive immersion' is still prevalent in traditional classroom environments, but it's typical for institutional learning methods to be multiple decades behind modern best practices, no matter the topic

If all you know about is the sports mascot fursuits, keep it that way

Man those are some great name drops, thank you. I literally have an outlined plan to write my own Mealie equivalent because I couldn't find anything that fit without selling me some bs service

By the way, where do you go to find these types of things anymore? Web search has been completely fubar for years

I'll look into nextcloud. What kind of hardware are you running it on? Any type of off-site backups?

Yes. It's called learning, and you can use just about any app to do it. Note taking apps, lecture/course apps, flash card apps, you name it.

But an app that arbitrarily claims to "improve your brain" with little addicting games? That's the opposite thing. Good luck

 

In other places on around the web, (chiefly /r/RedditAlternatives) whenever Lemmy is brought up, invariably I see the exact same complaints from brand new accounts.

Lemmy is too complicated, it wont gain traction, can't figure out how to use it, can't log in, etc.

Now, I'm definitely more tech savvy than the average redditor, but I just don't see the complaints. You can go to any Lemmy site, instantly start doomscrolling with a familiar UI, and sign up on all the instances I've tried has been frankly more simple than making a new reddit account. The only real complaint I have is the generally smaller volume of users and posts.

My only thought here is the words like federation and instances getting people hung up. Maybe join-lemmy.org being a highly ranked site is doing more harm than good by creating an additional barrier to the instances and content.

Ideally, the first link someone sees when googling Lemmy would be a global feed on a fairly generic instance, with a basic tagline akin to 'front page of the internet.' End users don't need to care about the technical details, at least not until they're interested in the platform.

So is this "Lemmy is too confusing" sentiment even real? And if not, what motive would there be to astroturf this?

If it is a real issue affecting would-be users, how can we address it?
