Recently, I've discovered Consent-O-Matic for Firefox [1], which rejects some cookie preferences. Not all of them, but it still helps here and there. [1] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/con

Music and other arts are a manifestation of human life and its ephemeral nature. And because human creates it, another human can relate to it because we all share the same fate, in the end. LLMs have no understanding of the limited time of

What? If something, I'd talk about spirituality instead. There can be a spirituality without religion, but also a religion without spirituality. Beware!

Sometimes I think about what I've read in a book about Japan. Something along the lines that Japanese people are analog while Westerners are digital. We try to explain everything, every emotion, feeling, how things are. But sometimes t

For me, it was playing a musical instrument (transverse flute, then shakuhachi) that showed me that I really don't know how to breathe deeply with my diaphragm. Or, that I wasn't aware of it at all, now my breathing is more consci

I'll chip in with my shameless plug - Latudio [0]. A language learning app where all the content was written and audio recorded by real humans™. We purposedly went that way, with no ads and a one-time payment option. I feel that human

I had turned autocomplete off as well. Way too many times it was just plain wrong and distracting. I'd like it to be turned on for method documentation only, though, where it worked well once the method was completed, but so far I wasn

Try Spanish in Latudio [0]. It is not quite for beginners, you need to have at least basic vocabulary, but regarding immersion, it should fit what you are looking for. It uses a listening-first approach and contextual translations with voca

Also, we're happy to give the app away for free to nonprofits who'd find a use for it for their clients. It is also very easy for us to add domain-specific custom content, should there be an ask for it. If interested, PM me, e-mai

That's what we do at Latudio! [0] We've created an app with listening-first approach and added some very useful features on top of that, like showing a sentence when requested and saving unknown words for later practicing. There a

Everyone I know is happy with linux and do not complain at all, instead prefer it over other systems. Me, using linux professionally for the last 15 years I'm just so so happy that system like this exists. Maybe I've been lucky bu

My retired parents would disagree, having happily used Linux Mint for years now. Whenever I need to use Windows while teaching in school, I wonder how people put up with a system that is so user-unfriendly, some would even call it hostile.

What about sugar addiction? Read recently an article in the news that that's what is becoming a problem, actually, much more than alcohol or cigarettes. Anecdotally, I see kids around drinking all kinds of sweetened beverages. My frien

Well, with Latudio [1] a language learning app, we're 6 years in since the first line of code and we still haven't thrown in the towel even if we have little traction. But we still do those small little steps and hope they add up

Hi, thanks for your feedback. We were considering making typing practice more forgiving, but in the end, you really need to be precise when writing in another language. But your point about the keyboard is a valid one. However, if you reall

Hi Katie, thank you and hope you will find the app useful, if you get to it. I can say only good things about the Hetzner's performance, availability and support.

Hi, OP here. I wanted to share a few additional points about Latudio's approach: Latudio is designed with a specific focus - like a Unix tool, it does one thing and aims to do it well. That one thing is improving your listening compreh
