Do you know if there are, or if there are plans for a “new” Turing test ?

The rule already exists, living in the suburbs and working in Paris, I can tell you that they ended up forbidding them because a lot of people weren’t using them on the road.

Because humans are known for following rules to a fault.

Why do you feel that you have to expressly go out of your way to show to the world that you’re stupid ?

Is it a competition we don’t know about ? Maybe a bet ?

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.

Even if your point is right, which I don’t know and don’t care, why even try to make it ?

What discussion are you furthering with that ?

Why spend the effort ?

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.

My original concern about “losing people” wasn’t about transferring away, but rather about leaving the fediverse entirely over the concern of having to remake an account and having to curate up to my standards all over again. Which is now a moot point since I’ve been given solutions to migrate easily.

Fallacy much ?

Because I don’t want to be federated with threads doesn’t mean I want to hand over the curating to the instance owner, there’s such a thing as nuances.

I also formulated a wish for world to defederate, but my solution when they didn’t is to leave, you don’t see me brigading for them to absolutely do it, so please do not lend to me what I didn’t say.
