It’s a bit annoying (I know I’m still not getting it on mine despite the announcements), but their handling it of major updates (performance wise) have been decent on my end. I do love my FP5, but it’s a bit hit and miss according to experience I read about online. I know my experience of their headphones (the most recent ones, the wireless buds) has been horrendous but I would recommend the FairPhone personally.
Still not getting it on mine 😖

21·2 years agoGTK4 is planned for 2050 (expect 5-6 year delay).
It’s true. Counterpoint: if you move places a lot (let’s say if you happen to belong to a generation of people who will never be able to afford a place - which is a huge amount of people), your library needs to fit into a small tablet sized reader. Can store 5000 books, I do not have the means to move that amount of books every time my landlord decides to make my rent more unaffordable. An ereader fits in my pocket.
Repetition of words in isolation (ie flashcards or what anki offers) does nothing whatsoever to teach you a language.
Duolingo is far from perfect but it certainly does more than basic flashcards (which are fine if you’re ok with just vocab). What people constantly miss about Duolingo is that it also offers lessons (to teach you how grammar works for example) but people have to read them and take the time to understand them. Which isn’t what they normally do because it takes time and it doesn’t give you xp (it’s not gamified so everybody ignores it).
It’s how school teaching works (no it doesn’t work great either but that’s because this part is only meant to teach you about the basic layer of language, not the rest).
So Duolingo and anki aren’t designed to do the same thing at all. But if you’re serious about learning a language, Duolingo is certainly a better start IF you do it right. A combination of the two is a better bet.
Duolingo open source? Doable but you need teachers to open source their lessons and vet them. Huge amount of time and probably costly which is where the cookie crumbles.

If you read the developer’s background and reasons for the fork, it’s actually a lot more… cringe.
Pretty much, the guy lost his shit because Mozilla is woke / SJW / DEI and all the lovely buzz words used by certain people.
