  • Let's just call it OpenSource+ at this point ;)

  • Also, wouldn't it be an option at some point to switch to other resources? There is so much money being thrown at alternative battery technology

  • True. My life began in the 2000s, got no memories from before that.

  • True, you would need a page with the listed results sorted by participant. Quite easy to calculate if you have that tho.

  • But this is not a big ol neocapitalistic conspiracy against someone personally. Maybe your pictures do suck, maybe your bio is perfectly written etcetc. Many reasons why it might or might not work out for you.

    Those companies are not as aware of their actions as many people think. They see 'x' happens and they might find a way to let it happen more often, but they seldom know why it happens.

    Especially when it's about interactions between people and not just system-user interaction.

  • Sounds like a fun task. Could make a drinking game out of it haha

  • if these apps could actually teach you a language, you'd eventually get proficient enough at the language to no longer need the app

    If it worked for you word of mouth will spread and others will try it as well. I don't see why these companies shouldn't be interested in that. They might lengthen the process and not give you the most efficient solution however.

    People find love through dating apps, people can learn the basics of a language through language apps. The company wins either way. Maximizing screen time is not everything.

    This isn't to say that these apps don't have a place in the language learning process, but rather I'm saying that you need to be incredibly wary not just of the privacy issues, but of how to actually use these apps effectively. If you're aware of their tricks, then they become less effective.

    Good point. It's hard to learn a language and if you invest the time you'll get a good grasp on it through these apps. I leant multiple languages at school and it was really similar to what Duolingo e.g. are doing.

    BUT in the end you still can't master a language without speaking it with other people. That however, is not a service that these apps can provide. They should, however, make it possible for you to find a basic foundation for communication. The gamification aspect also helps.

    Regarding the privacy argument I completely agree.

  • Ah ok I'm not deep enough in it to know the differences. I just played it for a certain time. But the aesthetics give me such a vibe haha.

    Yeah I'll text you in case I'll try it :)

  • Didn't check out the full list. But I'm not surprised it's kinda bogus.

  • Great you're having such a good time on there. Maybe I'll even check it out for the nostalgia at some point haha

    And maybe there are also other bigger servers. I'm sure you'll find some on Google.

  • P-servers are so much more fun anyway. I used to play Flyff (Korean MMPORG) on one and I was even able to finish the game. It would never be possible on the normal servers. Even when you spend the money. Just because of the endless grind and low XP rate.

  • Hm yeah I don't know haha, is that enough reason to put him on the list?

  • I mean we were the first generation making friends as kids online. But even then it was a pain how capitalistic Habbo was. The social interaction made it bearable tho, so I didn't bother that much with the rest.
