If you're wondering if I'm insane or something, just reply to the comment I made since I'm dyslexic and it might just be that I wrote it weird. Skipping letters, words or even sentences is very regular for me.

I don't think flashcards are working for me.
  • You could try Tadoku and then Learn Natively. It's basically just reading until you're fluent.

  • Steam Families is here
  • It just basically combines your libraries now. So if the license is in use, nobody else can use it unless there are multiple licenses. Offline will still work for your own games and you can choose the best version to play. E.g. I have Isaac but only 1 dlc while my gf has all of the dlc so I can just play her version when she's not playing it.

  • I don't think flashcards are working for me.
  • Making it a routine is key. 2 week break is huge and will completely mess with your learning. Method that has worked for me is to do them throughout the day. Every time I would do something dumb on my phone, I would first go through few cards (or all if feeling motivated) and sooner or later they're all gone. Are your cards just kanji or words?

    For kanji to stick, I've been using Ringotan which is free. It teaches you the stroke order and you can choose the learning order from multiple sources like Wanikani, RTK, Genki, etc.

    Downside of my study method is that I do it for 1-5h/day and only after 3 years it feels like I've cracked the code and can actually understand something.

    If I started from 0, I would probably start by watching all the Comprehensible Input content there is. Like from https://cijapanese.com/ (also on Youtube, but I feel like the website is better). This also takes time though.

  • The one accesory I would recommend with the Deck
  • There shouldn't be any vents on the bottom. Only hole is for the MicroSD

  • Which is the easiest way to install KDE Connect in my Steam Deck?
  • I don't even remember installing it. Are you sure it's not part of SteamOS/KDE Plasma?

  • Linux Desktop reaches New All time high. 4.45%(+0.4) 📈🐧
  • What's the unknown line? Some Chinese OS or browsers with all info excluded?

  • What habits do you have to protect your data privacy?
  • True. But I'm not lowering the standard for common sense just because majority lacks it. Whenever I help someone with their tech I also teach them something.

  • Steam Deck & Apple Studio Display
  • Not really something I have but it might work as a dock.

    Don't really know if Apple puts software on those to check what was plugged in.

  • What habits do you have to protect your data privacy?
  • Just using common sense on the web. I don't fuzz over it since it doesn't mean much to me anyway.

  • Best dock for the Steam Deck? (And other accessories)
  • Had the same experience but I just got a CEC killer between the TV and the dock. No issues after that.

  • First world problems
  • I used to be same but I stopped doing it. I just started going through games as I wanted and stopped following hype trains.

  • To anyone who thinks music piracy is dead
  • It's a service problem as always. I want to listen to all the songs in my library on shuffle and if your service can't offer that, I'll use AIMP with local files.

    spoiler

    Always open for suggestions though

  • [@japaneselanguage](https://sopuli.xyz/c/japaneselanguage) On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being great and 1 being horrible, how good is Duolingo for learning Japanese?
  • Do you know the kana already? Those should be your priority nr. 1 priority in whatever you do.

    Input is also very important. Fastest way is to start using Anki deck(free) or Wanikani(paid) so you'll get past the kanji barrier. Learn grammar from a textbook or alternatively Youtube channels like TokiniAndy and/or CureDolly. If you like games, Game Gengo is an excellent channel as well.

    Are you a native English speaker? If not then you might want to pick up a Japanese textbook from your local library as some things are much easier to understand through your native language.

  • [@japaneselanguage](https://sopuli.xyz/c/japaneselanguage) On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being great and 1 being horrible, how good is Duolingo for learning Japanese?
  • It's just not good as a learning tool. I'd recommend learning elsewhere and using Duolingo for reviewing or getting familiar with the language. (and only if you like it)

  • It’s official — LCD TVs won’t see any further development.
  • I have LG C1 that's not connected to the internet and I have not noticed any nagging. Pretty much just switch between HDMI outputs and that's it. Thankfully the input switch and apps are behind a different button unlike Samsung and their overly simple remote. (can even hold number button to switch to a specific source without menus)

  • Crusader Kings II Standard Edition is currently free on GOG
  • Hasn't it been F2P for quite long?

  • Games that have stuck with you?
  • The one that came out 5 days ago?
