Sounds like they're describing this kind of thing:

This is pretty much the same situation as when Apple faced bankruptcy a while back and Microsoft essentially bailed them out.
Having an effective monopoly is better than a literal one for legal reasons
I think you mean the Windows Linux for Subsystem
Take this with a pinch of salt but what I'm gathering is that it's essentially just taking people's public profiles but the Duolingo api also exposes users' e-mail addresses (and possibly other info) that isn't normally displayed as part of the user's public profile via their app.
In essence, they're exposing more data than they probably should be and users were not really aware that data was being made public - that's why people are upset about it.
I played through it at launch on my lower end gaming laptop (1050 GPU) that I had at the time. With some fiddling, and basically turning everything to lowest I got it to just about playable framerates.
Massively enjoyed the game and its universe. I hit a few bugs but nothing that was hugely game breaking, at least nowhere as bad as people were saying. I also managed my expectations knowing my hardware at the time was low-end/dated.
Then I saw footage of the game being played on base tier PS4 and Xbox One hardware and holy shit, if I'd bought it on either of those (especially Xbox), I'd have been furious. The game was not ready and should never have been released for those consoles. It clearly needed at least PS4 Pro or One X to even be remotely playable at launch.
It's my native language and I have no idea what they're getting at either.
Don't worry...
I'm not sure where good (or bad) faith comes into it, they expressed their opinion and I expressed mine. It's a public forum where we're allowed to disagree so I'm not really sure what you're trying to get at, I feel perhaps you're reading into this a bit too much.
I did the same as you, I saw it and chuckled a bit at the humour. It wasn't hilarious, but I found it amusing and I felt like the comment I replied to was a bit harsh, so I put a spin on it.
I feel from your reply like I've annoyed you somehow and I'm sorry if that's the case, it wasn't my intention.
It's not because you don't share my tastes, I thought it was hypocritical to call it cringe when you mentioned you also used to enjoy this humour. That's as far as it goes.
I agree with what you're saying about taste. Just let people enjoy what they wanna enjoy as long as it isn't hurting anyone.
They haven't actually acknowledged it being harmful, they just said it was cringe worthy. You don't have to like everything but it's hypocritical to complain about others' sense of humour, for something you yourself once enjoyed.
No evidence of character growth here...
"It was funny when I used to do it but now I don't like them anymore so everyone else should stop."
No, the other other way round

I'm not OP but the picture I found is far from the worst offender, I rented somewhere for a while where the top of the screen door wasn't close to being as tall as me or the shower. It really isn't as simple as people just being stupid.
