Has anyone experienced their prolonged anxiety just kind of disappearing? Stopped waking up anxious?

For Duolingo (app version) expats who are willing to pay ~$5 a month Chegg’s language learning app called Busuu has a similarly convenient app interface but does a MUCH better job teaching grammar in my opinion. I’m learning German and Infinitives were so confusing to try to pick up just using context clues on Duo. I’d tried a couple of the other free options (memrise, lingodeer, the old desktop version of Rosetta Stone) and I think Busuu is the most effective/efficient I’ve tried.

Disclaimer that I was with Duo in the early days when they were still supported by startup money and promising NO ADS EVER. FREE ACCESS FOR ALL, so I am admittedly still a little butt hurt that they moved in the direction they did.

I had a feeling Busuu was better and it is grand to know someone else feels similar. I too used Duolingo for English for years and out of curiosity, tried Busuu earlier this year and noticed a better learning difference.

ReallyKinda,

@Dio I hadn’t heard much about it so figured I’d post to the void!

I also like that they have both a vocab and grammar practice section that keeps track of your weak, medium, and strong words and grammar topics.

The main thing I don’t like is that their free version is quite buggy and you have to close out ads for premium every few prompts.

Is it possible to have RSS content automatically post to a kbin magazine? If so, how?

If Facebook made their content compatible with activity feed could I potentially subscribe and interact with (for example) my dad’s posts only so that I can keep up with family without having to visit (or have a) Facebook myself?

It’s technically possible, but I put the chance of it happening at 0.1%. I don’t even see them (properly/fully) implementing ActivityPub in Threads.

If my dental insurance has 100% coinsurance on preventative and basic care, 70% coinsurance on major care, a deductible of $50, and a maximum payout of $2000, does that mean I can only spend the insurance $ on major services and pay out of pocket for everything else?

compg318,

And that negotiated rate they’ll likely match or beat with cash

compg318,

Of course! Hopefully they can look into a different future plan. I do know a lot of people who just don’t bother with dental insurance due to the poor coverage overall.

It’s a shame most of the world doesn’t treat dental as medical considering the health risks of not treating those conditions.

How to view a feed of subscriptions only? I’ve gone into the settings and chosen the homepage drop-down that says subscriptions and saved. I’ve also chosen “subscribed ” under the drop-down next to my name in the top right while on the Home Screen. Neither seem to impact what shows up in my feed. Help?

ReallyKinda,

I’ve found my issue! Early on I must have subscribed to some entire instances without understanding what I was doing. This causes communities that you’re not subscribed to individually to show in your subscriptions feed (since you’re subscribed to the entire instance). Leaving up in case it helps others troubleshoot.

I found the neat visual customization options (color, rounded corners, etc) but the changes don’t seem to stick! Is this a me thing or kbin thing?

@ReallyKinda It uses cookies and so is per-browser - but they are retained for a long time. I've not seen them disappear.

Ohh that would explain it, thanks! I use a browser that’s…quite light on cookie permissions.
