Technology@lemmy.world•The EdTech Backlash Is Here, and It's Just Getting StartedEnglish
101·2 months agoAccording to recent research, yes.
But research is lacking in the retention of skills and knowledge once the gamification is removed.
Does Duolingo create life long learners, or is it just something to pass the time and feel good about getting a score streak.
My theory is almost all Duolingo users would quit learning if Duolingo went away tomorrow and everyone has to restart at 0 on a new app/service.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What do you think realistically would happen the moment we meet extraterrestrials?
5·2 months agoOur strongest EMP rays did nothing to them, but in the end they succumbed to a simple stick.
There is also just the possibility that their common illness affects something biologically they possess that we do not.
I too hope the protections would go both ways. I guess it depends if whatever they’d exhaust is toxic to us

Games@lemmy.world•Major Blow to Denuvo Because Pirates Just Ran Out of Games to Bypass as of April 2026English
2·3 months agoAgreed. I expect some money shifting where Denuvo goes down and another rises with kernel level. Ovuned. Kind of like how airlines and banks rename themselves.
I agree completely and believe it’s an issue for people with disabilities too. Hopefully more and more people are taking notice and speaking out. I bet good videos help raise awareness too!

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Valve veteran slams Tim Sweeney and Epic Games for laying off 1000 people while making 'as much money as possible… and hey Tim, Gabe's better at that than you'English
11·4 months agoNet worth can, and is, used as collateral for taking out large loans with little to no interest. So I would say net worth is a pretty good equivalent of cash under the mattress. It just takes one step to access that cash.
Inverses!

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Videogames you always wanted to play but they did disappointed you?
2·5 months agoI am with you. I really want to like the game, but it just is not fun. I gave it 15 hrs.
Add to your list just how tedious all the bosses and mini bosses are. All of them act with maximum efficiency on every turn. Causes so many battles with them to drag on.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•People who reject challenging ideas as stupid without engagement are like intellectual nepobabies
3·5 months agoI like your theory.
I was a pretty big believer in inception approach. If they think it is their idea they will be on board.
Now I think people only want to learn/believe things they see from their own personal bubble of “trusted source(s)”. Anything else can’t be correct or I’d have heard about it already.

Technology@lemmy.world•Amazon BUSTED for Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy— Amazon, its vendors, and competing retailers are price fixing, hiking up prices for consumer products, making Amazon richerEnglish
1·5 months agoLol. We just disagree. Your point seems to be all or nothing with the blame. I believe there is never 0 personal liability unless under duress.
I am well read, and I gather you are too. No point going further with you here.
Enjoy

31·5 months agoOh gosh. Great 6 paragraph essay countering made up points I wasn’t making.
Choosing Amazon for a dr recommended medicine is definitely the same as choosing it for your coffee flavoring.
Nevermind the part where I said I also use Amazon.
My point is unless you are under duress, you are responsible for your actions.

Sorry that you lack logical thinking. Enjoy your coffee.

108·5 months agoYour point is valid and definitely a concern.
But how are people so basic.
You hate Amazon, but just have to have your caramel syrup? Doesn’t really sound like hate.
Sounds more like you do not want to have to make sacrifices to the things you like.
Wonder why bad things continue to happen.
I use Amazon too. Not trying to be too judgy, but come on. Accept some personal responsibility for your actions.

Games@lemmy.world•The Highguard Website Is Down As Players Brace For The WorstEnglish
1·5 months agoI am aware of Tenncent’s holdings beyond just the games you list.
Just bc you do not see the effects does not mean nothing burger.
I’d suggest you look into Microsoft’s EEE strategy. Or consider Activiosn’s effect on Blizzard.
And these are just gaming examples.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•CD Projekt Red has confirmed that it made a modder take down their Cyberpunk 2077 VR mod [VR Injection Framework: +100 games supported] because they were charging money for it [Patreon subscribers]English
121·6 months agoNo it doesn’t.
How is the VR Mod listed? Does it use other trademarks/copyrights to advertise or sell this product?
Cyberpunk 2077 VR Mod
Or is it listed generically as VR Framework Mod for games.

I’m sure there are many types of satanists.
