  I do not understand, could you elaborate please?

  I was under the impression the cards I have) 1 regular with Mcboot and one ad adapter) would work universally.

  Yeah absolutely. I just remember me/the protagonist being god or something? Or maybe I misunderstood 😂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I want a boyfriend, but I feel like I don't deserve to have one, and I keep alternating between those two thoughts which is making me feel confused. Is this normal?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Aside what the helpful other comment said, it might as well be something of the neurodiversity spectrum that you don’t know of yourself. This may help you a lot understanding yourself and the source of your thoughts.

  Oh no.

  As a German and also liking sushi… This is true.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Can i ask you for a favor?" Is it rude to say no?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You do not owe any random person anything.

  (yes really. It may be rude on occasion but you do not owe politeness to just anyone either. And oftentimes politeness is also abused)

  No, don’t, nothing is ever complete. If it really was that wicked3d, it’s very niche and surprising I even had it 😁.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The History of 3D Gaming - [The History of Video Games]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, I had 2 monster3d* voodoo 2 cards and could play sort of most 3dfx games with shutter* glasses in more or less good 3d.

  (* I am pretty sure but it’s been a long time)

  It was draining like most 3d implementations but the novelty wore off rather quickly too.

  Hm, sad to see he just skipped over voodoo2 (3dfx) 3d glasses prior to Nvidia…

  Still using it that way.

  On the people who are Still alive.

  If it is possible, it will be done.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do you think freewill truly exists?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Indeed I can confirm.

  Just a few days ago I pondered the life of plants and asked my wife how she thinks the death of a plant is defined if for animals (including humans of course) it’s mostly the heartbeat.

  So when is a plant dead?

  Yeah we’re working on avoiding any kind of “Energiewende”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your help needed: PhD research on why people choose to self-host⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll never understand social media. Maybe it’s me (might as well be as neurodivergent, but then again might say something about tolerance and inclusion… anyhow) but I’d love to understand the downvotes.

  The difference in education systems is not a choice of any of the conversations attendees and the differences and the differences are fact.

  Maybe a downvote for Germany? For not knowing by heart? Or maybe because I stated the issue. Of course, research helps but in details sometimes creates even more confusion so it’s best to ask.

  Communication as a way to be helpful. As I want to be to this research because I think it’s a good statement as research to be done.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your help needed: PhD research on why people choose to self-host⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you, that is helpful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your help needed: PhD research on why people choose to self-host⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ad a German, I was confused by the second education question and what I should fill out.

  (mapping Grundschule / Hauptschule / Realschule / Gymnasium / Studium)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Duolingo CEO says AI is a better teacher than humans—but schools will exist ‘because you still need childcare’⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ahh stimmt. Da habe ich den Bezug falsch verstanden, da hast du recht, er müsste auf Duolingo sein! 😁

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Duolingo CEO says AI is a better teacher than humans—but schools will exist ‘because you still need childcare’⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ja, definitiv: www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/Grammatik

  Aber ich denke mit dem Beispiel “die Duolingo” hast du etwas anderes verstanden?

  Trotzdem wäre es auch dort “die Duolingo (App)”. Was natürlich so keiner sagt, stimmt schon. 😁

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Duolingo CEO says AI is a better teacher than humans—but schools will exist ‘because you still need childcare’⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “den” is a pronoun which does not make sense/does not fit the gender in this context.

  So I changed it to “denn” which is an adverb which in this case is hard to translate but boils down to something like “at all” in this sentence. Eg do you learn grammar there at all.

  If you want to use a pronoun with the correct gender then it would be “die” (female) which is technically correct but sounds weird in this case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Duolingo CEO says AI is a better teacher than humans—but schools will exist ‘because you still need childcare’⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Richtig, denke ich auch mit dem komma. Aber heute lautet es ja: I’m Zweifel weglassen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Duolingo CEO says AI is a better teacher than humans—but schools will exist ‘because you still need childcare’⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lernt man denn grammatik auf Duolingo? Ich weiß es nicht weil ich sie nicht benutze.

  Fixed (although most likely not perfect, since that is always debatable).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Competition is good, yes and no.

  Exclusivity is not competition, it’s lock in for me. So epic should get it’s head out of its ass and offer games on both platforms equally. THAT is competition.

  I am not a fan of steam. Not a fan of having a library that could change at anytime at anyone’s whim but mine. So I prefer gog (yes I know some titles are drm free on steam and it’s not perfect on gog either / this is just for context).

  Anyhow steam is well established and forcing me to use your store and launcher will just lead to me ignoring you (doing that for origin, uplay, epic) because it’s a luxury problem.

  Same with all that streaming shit. Also there are other ways if you piss off people a lot, yarr!

  The companies forget who made them big. And for epic I count myself in on that massively, still owning game boxes of e.g. Xargon (look it up, and my EU? box is not to be found on ebay) and equally for EA.

  And I will not stand for anti consumer behaviors. Got enough money to spend at my age but theyre not getting it like this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think an additional button ‘None of these options’ would be an addition even with SKIP.

  It makes a different point of having seen the question, options and explicitly agreeing to none of them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly 5 years in, PS5 sales remain neck-and-neck with PS4 | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s interesting to hear, honestly. And would be interesting to dive in if that’s related to age, culture, country etc… But a little too complicated for analyzing that here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That it wasn’t always like this doesn’t mean that it wouldn’t always lead there though.

  I think that is the point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Android updates: thanks I hate it.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For me it’s not about liking. My eyes aren’t as good as they were and the far worse contrast combined with the smaller size worsens the readability significantly.

  (Don’t rush but you’ll get there.)

  The older I get the more I am sure the ones with that motivation wouldn’t buy much in the first place and it’s more corporate propaganda and fear mongering.

  Having someone to blame, take the fall. Politics, basically.
