If Duolingo is too fast paced, then you aren't going to learn any quicker using a different method. The fastest way to learn any language is full immersion with lessons. It's extremely difficult. Maybe go online and find a tutor/teacher in your area or virtually. Oh and it's "ciao".

How many mental illnesses are linked to the cost of living? It causes me daily depression. There is a dark part of my mind that wonders if we'd rather just have people die than make life more affordable.

What "shit" did they "pull with their app"?

$35 million is a rounding error for Amazon. They don't care. When the punishment is a fine, then it's not a problem for the rich.

In my opinion, the biggest problem with Linux is it requires tinkering in terminal which nearly every non-tech savvy person finds intimidating. Even if it's a simple command. Until Linux has a shiny dumbed-down GUI for everything you need to do, it won't catch on for the average PC user.

Linux has made incredible progress in this area though. But, everytime I use a new Linux install, I encounter errors or something that requires troubleshooting and terminal use.

Billionaires are not leaders. They are takers. They must be forced via the law, otherwise they will do nothing besides further enrich themselves beyond their already obscene levels of wealth.

I think I surprising amount of people are likely just "faking it". I hope one day we can collectively cut the BS and all admit we don't know what we're doing.

I appreciate the thought of this website but the design is quite ugly

Not as close as I'd like and probably more close than what they'd like.
