- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 1 day 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”

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.

Thank you, that is helpful.

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’ 6 days 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’ 1 week 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’ 1 week 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.

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

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? 1 week 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.

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.

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.

Thank you, yes. That’s a Bad headline.

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. 2 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.)
- Comment on Nintendo Anti-Piracy Policy Device Lock Update Warns of Console Bricks for Unauthorized Use 2 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on Nintendo Anti-Piracy Policy Device Lock Update Warns of Console Bricks for Unauthorized Use 2 weeks ago:
Absolutely! I will just drop them if they’re not deemed worthy.
The same with all the big ones that were too big to fail until they did.
I am sure though it’s not that time for Nintendo. It might only be a thing on paper.
But the damage stays and sums up.

- Comment on Android updates: thanks I hate it. 2 weeks ago:
Dito. I thought it was a minor update and was greeted by ‘welcome’ letting me feel as if my mobile was reset for a few minutes.
Bad experience. And just because it needed to make absolutely sure I do not ignore the gemini AI.
I then ignored the gemini AI, out of spite alone.

Readable.

Ha, uncohesive! Exactly. I was looking for a word what I think of the changes and can absolutely agree.
It’s a mess.
- Comment on Android updates: thanks I hate it. 2 weeks ago:
I changed that as soon as I got into the the wrong thing for the fifth time by accident.
Maybe it’s my (front display) slim phone but who designs shit like that?
- Comment on Nintendo Anti-Piracy Policy Device Lock Update Warns of Console Bricks for Unauthorized Use 2 weeks ago:
I’m confused by your last paragraph.
Wanting or demanding to own and hack your device does not mean you’re not a big spender.
- Comment on Nintendo Anti-Piracy Policy Device Lock Update Warns of Console Bricks for Unauthorized Use 2 weeks ago:
Indeed it really seems they’re doing a lot to piss off the, well, fans.
