Dammit. That would have been kinda cool.

Edit: but yeah don't see anything about the "journey" on his page sadly. Guess that's instagram only...

Edit 2: here's the instagram page via an alternative frontend that doesn't require an account: https://imginn.com/sirtimbernersleeforeveryone/

Really happy to hear that you've been able jump back on. And don't downplay the immersion exercises! I am often said to pronounce words pretty well in German and honestly I think it's due to me listening to it so much even when I didn't understand much of it :)

Hey I am in no way an expert and can't test it right now, but on their github they say "Light-weight system monitor for X, Wayland, and other things, too ". Does it not work on wayland?

edit: answered to the wrong reply, sorry. But: me too, to both of those!

Absolutely do not checkout "conky" and under no circumstances search for "conky themes" in image search. A program for the utterly deranged

Was a well written rant :)

And yeah I bumped into that issue with so many different lang learning services.. Hence the reason I decided to just stick to courses for my target language.. But it's tough to work full time and take evening courses :/

And much appreciated for the tip matey ;) now where's me sailing hat.. I like paying gold for good supplies, but have to know if the stuff fits me belly first!

Shit, I've been scrubbing the bathroom for 10hours, can't close Vim

Thanks for writing all that out, that's really interesting! Those issues sound frustrating but that's incredible what you learned in 20 days! Maybe I'll give it a spin for one of the languages I'm curious about before a vacation too.

I know it's a classic but confused how I'm supposed to use Vim to send an email

Already got my Vim, any tips?

Highly recommend it! I felt like my progress halted after awhile of living in a country that speaks my target language too. Intensive course really helped with that.

Slow and steady is really good, wayy better than not doing anything at all!

I can relate. If its tough right now try to atleast keep the habit by doing tiny lessons or looking up words atleast a bit every week. Don't let it fade away completely :)

And hell yeah that's a win! More of that when you are able to!

Ahh Super!

I also have the priviledge of living in a german-speaking capital city, so I can immerse but fallback whenever I feel uncomfortable (Vienna) :)

I tried the childrens books for a bit, but ultimately decided to take courses and buy course books to go through. Self learning takes quite a lot of discipline and I suck at that...

But yeah I can relate with the documents lol!

Ja! Wir können es schaffen!!

That's totally okay, just don't fully give up on it! Never heard of Pimsleur before, is it just boring or do you feel like it's too basic for your skill level?

That's good! Exactly the same here except I'm working on German.

Torille! Oder so.

I really liked the editing. The video has a good topic and it's well presented but damn that's some smooth editing.

Yeah. I would have fired them on the spot.

Why?

Because if they came early it means that they not busy enough in their own life.

If life's not a one big hustle for you, you are not even trying.

(/s just incase)

I'll gladly help, but we consider 4 months still bit fresh - mind trying to contact the mod of that community first?

It's just that consolidation towards a community that has more history is usually nicer than bumping into "most subscribers but no content" community for new users in my opinion. But yeah that's my opinion and the reason why I want you to talk to the mod first if possible. But for sure we are trying to reduce the amount of communities that are not being moderated and I'll help with that. :)

True, and probably it's going to live a lot and change over time. Need to give this a bit of thought once I have bit more free time!

I see a lot of useful resources posted to these weekly threads and I love that you guys are giving them your own personal reviews.
