@duolingoUK @duolingo Is duolingo max available in the UK for Spanish? Your website says that it should be but I can't see it in any options in my phone or web app? Thx

[Matt Hopkins @Hopthings]

All good now. Thank you.

Meta considered building a Twitter competitor to capitalize on Elon Musk's 'crisis' at company << imo, they should simply addd ActivityPub support into WhatsApp. Faster ramp up and would avoid monopoly criticism. #meta #whatsapp #activitypub

Seems like @Apple could avoid all the monopolistic talk relating to their 30% fee for competing apps in their App Store (e.g. @Spotify vs @AppleMusic) if they decided to stop charging the fee for those apps where they have a competing in-house app/product. #levelplayingfield

Mastodon is a decentralised, open-source social media platform with a focus on privacy and community-building - could it be the catalyst for change in the social media landscape? It happened with email.

Can you guys look into this asap and solve the issue - for me and others - and also credit this missing payments? Thank you. 4/4

Hello @vitality_uk and @waitrose - My cashback from Waitrose stopped in September. Have had nothing since. I have tried to contact you by phone and email about this issue but it is still not resolved. 1/4

[Matt Hopkins @Hopthings]

I have friends locally that have the same issue and so can’t be limited to my account - although the offshore customer service rep who replied to my email simply said “I would like to inform you that, your Waitrose account is not linked with Vitality” which can’t be correct 3/4

I mentor a young lad with poor literacy skills who is starting a landscaping business. He struggles to communicate with clients in a professional manner.

I created a GPT3-powered Gmail account to which he sends a message. It responds with the text to send to the client.

Hi @icliving - not sure if you guys are looking at alternatives to Twitter, but I’ve set up a Mastodon instance for #southsea people here’s the link if you want to look around (currently quiet of course - but loads of promise) https://t.co/7Fa5cqFlWU
