I've been learning Korean in Duolingo.
I was almost done with one section (3-4 dots) and then yesterday I got a notification that they had updated the app for me and adjusted my progress accordingly.
🤨 yeah, so now the section I'm on thinks I've learned everything they had to offer leaving only legendary to be completed, except I don't know ANY of the new words they were focusing on in this section 😔 and they're giving me words that I can't check except through trail and error.
I'm glad I know God, cause it was really frustrating me and I felt really sad today as I tried to do another lesson, so I decided to forgive them. It really helped! Now I'm just mildly upset about needing to do a work around in order to catch up on the words they haven't taught me, and a little bummed about not being allowed to finish the section I was excited about having almost finished before they stole it away.
Not your keys, not your coin isn't just true about bitcoin. It's also true about computer programs and apps. If I don't own it, someone else can decide to change things in a direction I don't like, and I have no say.
I sometimes miss the days when instead of subscriptions, I bought the finished program, although they came with some bugs at times.
