  • Trust me, if you wanna learn German by being airdropped into the country with a dictionary, you’ll have a very very bad time compared to what Goethe Institute teaches.

    Because in order to properly speak the language you need to know the grammar. And you will almost certainly not ever grasp it properly on your own without guidance by an experienced educator. Germany is full of those people who after decades of living there keep making awful grammatical mistakes. While people who went to Goethe Institute usually don’t.

    Same for people who learn JavaScript from a tutorial and suddenly they’re a web dev, but understand nothing about algorithms complexity and so the whole fuckin internet is so slow it hurts.

    Precisely because of that attitude of yours.

    It takes a day to learn how to train an AI model in python. It takes a PhD to understand what you’re doing.










  • BS. One new CD is at least 10$. A good band collection is then a year worth of subscription fees. So, do you only listen to a few bands?

    Before Spotify I pirated everything. In lossless, ofc. I had 200GB of music, it wouldn’t fit on my ipod classic, and I still was limited.

    I pirated at least a lifetime worth of Spotify premium and yet when I switched to Spotify I discovered so many more artists like the ones I already liked. If I now tried to buy all the songs I’ve listened to more than once in the last 5 years, I’d go bankrupt.

    Spotify is way cheaper.

    (now add ease of discovering new music, listening to whatever your friends want to listen to in a car, collaborative playlists, etc etc)
