What about Mac? Well... it's ironic. Without the DNA of BSD, macOS wouldn't even exist today. Full circle moment.

🔙 Context: Both Linux and BSD exist and thrive because Microsoft was (and is) an evil company producing inferior software.

Back in the 90s, the need for open alternatives was real, and our shared disdain for Redmond definitely united early Linux/BSD users and contributors.

That said, we need to go further. IMO, domain-specific AI models are essential to address many of the challenges you mention and feedback, bias, and context.

Appreciate you sharing this — it’s an important and well-reasoned piece, and I agree with most of the concerns raised around AI in education.

I believe agentic AI, when grounded in Self-Determination Theory and constructivist principles, can help learners reclaim both autonomy and integrity.

I’ve lived in 5 countries, including nearly a decade in a remote Bulgarian village (Slavovitsa, Pazardzhik). I enjoyed that more than any city.

Let’s see what life in a #Troodos mountain village will bring. Can’t wait!

Curious how others approach language learning:
Do you start with grammar? Vocabulary? Listening? Full immersion?
What’s worked—or totally failed—for you?

Let’s share methods.

Instead of spreading verb tenses, moods, and aspects across multiple levels, I learn them all at once.

It works. Because it’s not about memorizing silly sentences—it’s about understanding the system behind them.

That’s why I go grammar-first. Once I understand the engine—tenses, syntax, structure—everything else starts falling into place. Vocabulary sticks better too when you know where it fits.

The CEFR focuses too much on memorizing situations—like how to order a coffee—instead of teaching you how the language actually works.

Why learn words if you don’t know what to do with them?

I wrote a deep-dive on why inflation-based tokenomics are not only valid, but might be the best choice for serious utility networks:

✔ Debunks the Bitcoin-maxi logic
✔ Breaks down Polkadot’s model
✔ Compares fixed vs inflation side-by-side
✔ Shows how good inflation = ecosystem growth, not dilution
