I abandoned Duolingo 6 months ago. If that's true, they failed to advertise that to me. In any case, with modern llms you don't need Duolingo for that. You can ask them. You can copy-paste any article on a subject that interests you, and ask an llm to simplify it to your A1-A2 level. You can ask it to generate exercises, to explain things. Flashcards? Please, Anki is free.
Any good alternatives?
Join a class. These apps are a waste of time.
AI could make Duolingo better because it doesn't teach a language in its current state. It could explain to the user why their answer is wrong and offer exercises. But instead of doing that, they simply replace employees to save money? What a garbage company. It's a shame their app is so popular. It gives people nothing but a false sense of learning.

Hold on a second. For it to be enshittified, it has to be good at the beginning, and I highly doubt that’s possible.
Yeah but I’ll never feel as good as those vegetables.
I still think this format sucks because the punchline comes first.
And then you program a runtime that calls an AI to parse images and execute your code in real-time!
Same. My cat spends 80% of time in a carrier which I put on a shelf. I guess that is his private, safe space.
a bullshit story made up for internet points? Yes
I use three keyboard layouts for three different languages. On Plasma, for instance, I can either configure two active layouts so that alt+shift alternates between them, or assign a shortcut to switch to the previous layout, which achieves the same effect. I don't want to cycle through all three layouts.
Can I do something similar in Cinnamon? Here, I only found rather wild options like 'left ctrl to switch to layout 1, right ctrl to switch to layout 2,' which are hardly usable.
