  • Definitely agree the UK wouldn’t get the same terms it had before but I think currency is probably something they could negotiate to keep.

    The UK was before and hypothetically would be again one of the biggest economies in the EU and the politicians know what the symbolism of giving up currency would mean to the British.

    I really just couldn’t see them letting that stand in the way.

    Having said all that, UK isn’t going to be trying to join the EU for a while yet, if ever.











  • Take this with a pinch of salt but what I’m gathering is that it’s essentially just taking people’s public profiles but the Duolingo api also exposes users’ e-mail addresses (and possibly other info) that isn’t normally displayed as part of the user’s public profile via their app.

    In essence, they’re exposing more data than they probably should be and users were not really aware that data was being made public - that’s why people are upset about it.


  • I played through it at launch on my lower end gaming laptop (1050 GPU) that I had at the time. With some fiddling, and basically turning everything to lowest I got it to just about playable framerates.

    Massively enjoyed the game and its universe. I hit a few bugs but nothing that was hugely game breaking, at least nowhere as bad as people were saying. I also managed my expectations knowing my hardware at the time was low-end/dated.

    Then I saw footage of the game being played on base tier PS4 and Xbox One hardware and holy shit, if I’d bought it on either of those (especially Xbox), I’d have been furious. The game was not ready and should never have been released for those consoles. It clearly needed at least PS4 Pro or One X to even be remotely playable at launch.



  • I think that’ll only really start to happen once you start getting more of the general population on here.

    Reddit always had a reputation for being dominated by techy people, that is significantly more so the case here.

    Signing up for Lemmy, even knowing where to start is a bigger leap than it is over there. Personally I’m hoping third party apps will be able to help with that by offering some kind of setup wizard with easy options of suggested instances to join.
