Hmm yeah I understand. Communities can be super toxic too with all their gatekeeping.

Hope you find a language you enjoy learning.

Interesting, Austrians do the same and say "good sliding [into the new year] right before new year, which they switch to “happy new year” when it’s actually new year.

Nice, we’ll be following your journey this year!

Learning a language with a clear goal (e.g. reading your choice of manga) is exciting and very rewarding.

Due to motivation / frustration or just lost interest? Latin is cool and from what I’ve heard it’s fun.

Damn, I can’t believe I’m saying this but that is a very beautiful radiator.

Ah! You might be the first one on your server that has subscribed to this community, that might be it. Your server only starts federating with remote communities (like this one on sopuli) once someone from your server subscribes.

It’s a bit janky at times and takes time to properly federate content on the initial subscription.

Glad the comments arrived. Welcome :)

I’m not forced to, but occasionally my job kinda requires it so I dualboot (most of my coworkers who are on linux run a windows virtual machine when they need it).

But my previous job required windows due to all the industry specific software only working on windows. No chance of getting that to work on linux sadly. Then I just used windows at work. It’s always my employer’s hardware anyway and I like to keep work and free-time separate so it was ok.

That sounds like a lot of progress, nicely done.

I know the struggle and unfortunately there is no way around it except listening and trying to fill the gaps with context until you are able to take it all in at some point. I tried listening “coffee break german” on youtube for awhile and think it helped, but it was a bit boring.

Yup! Lemmy is full of communities that died out because they were not active enough. Then no one posts new content there because last post was from 6 months ago and it’s perceived dead.

emb already gave a good answer, but I want to add that you can always block a community if you don’t like to create your own curated subscribed-feed and are annoyed at these threads popping up on all-feed.

If you think this community breaks any instance rules on your instance, feel free to report it. Otherwise I highly recommend the above suggestion.

For those who are too lazy to check what people here in the comments are saying, here’s what happpens when you open the page in reader mode:

Yup, exactly the same! This time of the year is always like that… But we’ll get over it!

And that is very true unfortunately :/ I think many of us were lurkers and it’s a hard habit to break. But we are slowly getting more monthly active users on threadiverse too, maybe at some point we have a nice frequency of posts in languagelearning too!

Oh yeah I have the same problem with time wasting on the phone. Think for me it’s the stress. Soon I have holiday break!

Piling up those resources is kind of a procrastination type as I understand. Productive though. Do share on this community!

And nice, congratulations! That must be super rewarding! Don’t need to understand or be fast, it’s for learning afterall :)

Ah damn, sounds like there aren’t many resources for Swahili :(

I hope you get something out of duolingo for it and wish you a productive week with Swahili!

Can relate. Used to enjoy duolingo, now i am annoyed everytime I use it.

Curious to see whether they combine HBO and Netflix. In the article netflix answers in an ambiguous way.

I bet they are trying to calculate whether this will bring in less money if they combine them, because they can’t just jack up the price of netflix subscription to double immediately after the merging of the two platforms. Many have both Netflix and HBO subscription so it might actually reduce the revenue.

Think I have to give that a try, thanks for the recommendation! Though the reason I haven’t tried any yet is because I don’t get much time on my PC. But hopefully soon again.

I also did the LoFi study videos on youtube a lot in the past, they are also nice.
