Why do you suppose they made this path such an odd shape? 🤔

@calisti @GreenSkyOverMe Yeah :face_smiling_fb: it's pretty good too. You can use your keyboard to answer.

@calisti @GreenSkyOverMe I think so, but not sure to be honest. I've only ever used it paid. You could try it out? :face_smile_fb:

Why are the Daily Quests on #Duolingo different on the mobile app than on the website?

I have completed 3/3 on the website, but then looked at the mobile app and I have only completed 2/3 (because the 3rd on mobile is different).

Silly owl. :duolingo:

@darnell As far as I am aware, they password sharing lockdown isn't so dumb as to trigger if you travel.

You do see a different set of content for the country you are in, I believe - but your account still works.

For the first time in history, all the Norwegian political parties in parliament are led by women.

On the occasion of #InternationalWomensDay on 8 March 2024, a new official photo of the party leaders was taken.

I recently got thrown into the world of AI and LLMs. My role suddenly flipped from working on Search products for Microsoft Office to being right at the forefront of Microsoft Copilot exploration.

So, here is my Hugging Face profile... because that's a thing. I don't know how I'll use my account yet, but if you want to follow me, there I am.

@liaizon I got some from them too. One good thing about this spam is that I am discovering so many new instances with fun names...

Just a shame they are mostly really poorly moderated. :kakao_intense_sweat:

@Brendanjones @jzillw @linus I guess you have to double it if you intend to go home. 🤭

The most #Oslo 🇳🇴 article you’ve seen this year: a Tesla drives into the fjord and the passengers get rescued by a floating sauna.

Are you a capitalist or a lowercaseist?

Just kidding. I know what a capitalist is. It’s those people that only visit London, Paris, and Rome on a tour of Europe.

The arcade-NFL-style game Sunday Rivals is pretty fun to play. And not bad for a development team of one (1).

@thisismissem I have Cloudflare set up, but the site still goes down 😆

Does this make sense: https://oslo.town/@matt/111693835980201114

Now, after moving the wp-cron.php tasks from running as default, to scheduling them in the backend (cPanel), the site throws up a database error now for a minute or so instead of... just not loading at all.

Any advice welcome.

@annika Oh, I think its something to do with this... but I don't really know what any of it means. 😕

Any more advice?

@annika Oh, maybe I figured it out with the help of YouTube.
