The real problem if that’s the scenario is that his social security check is less than $100/month.

You can’t see something small right behind you with that.

Sometimes the powers that be need the proper motivation needed to get rid of the orphan crushing machine.
- Comment on Got electrocuted today 4 months ago:
You can be clinically dead and revived. That’s kind of a prerequisite to being revived.

They always ask you to remove it, even if the check is just against your ID and not the automated facial recognition.
- Comment on Gemini AI tells the user to die — the answer appeared out of nowhere when the user asked Google's Gemini for help with his homework 4 months ago:
Why are we trying to give up everything that makes us human by offloading it to a machine
Because we don’t enjoy actually doing it. No one who likes writing is asking chat gpt to write for them. It’s people who don’t want to write but are required to for whatever reason. Humans will always try to come up with a way to not have to do the work they don’t want to but still get it done, even if it’s not as good. Using tools like this is very human.

Is it because of the kids or the admin/parents/political activists/gun violence/low pay?
- Comment on gen z gorillas 4 months ago:
Maybe the people complaining drown out everyone else. But people like David Hogg and Greta Thunberg are Gen Z and out doing more than most to fix the problems they see. Like maybe people complain that Gen Z has no idea what files on a computer are, but that seems like a different thing than helplessness.
- Comment on And 299999999 is divisible by 13 5 months ago:
I think it might be easier just to do the division.
- Comment on This feels wrong. I love it. 5 months ago:
Considering we’re trying to find lengths, shouldn’t we be doing absolute value squared?
- Comment on Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers 5 months ago:
If your OS is competing instead of collaborating with the hardware and apps, that’s gonna be a bad experience.
- Comment on Clever, clever 5 months ago:
This in reply to a person who took more effort to write a program that wrote out the steps for inverting a matrix so they didn’t have to do the busy work of inverting a silly number of them? Kinda sounds like they prefer really understanding and challenging work to busy work is all.
- Comment on Not allowed to work from home 5 months ago:
You get an offer letter that spells some of that out, but it isn’t a binding contract.
An employment relationship in the United States is presumed to be “at-will,” i.e., terminable by either party, with or without cause or notice. Indeed, a majority of employees in the United States are employed on an “at-will” basis, without a written employment contract, and only with a written offer of employment that outlines the basic terms and conditions of their employment.
- Comment on YSK that United has significantly escalated their war against basic economy passengers 5 months ago:
They phased out back scatter x-ray like a decade ago. They only use millimeter wave, which doesn’t have ionizing radiation.
- Comment on Biden 'doesn't know' if Netanyahu is trying to influence US election 5 months ago:
I think Netanyahu just doesn’t want a peace deal. That it results in helping to sway the election in a way he desires is just the cherry on top for him.
- Comment on I'm going insane 5 months ago:
Ok, I can see the point, but it’s not usually what people mean when they can see their whole body. In that example, you’re looking down or looking up. It’s not the whole body entirely in your field of view. For your whole body to be entirely in your field of view, it absolutely does matter how close or far you are from the mirror.
- Comment on I'm going insane 5 months ago:
The reflection being further is the point? The further away something is, the smaller it looks, so the less of your field of view it takes up, the more you can see of it.
If I put my hand on my eye, I can’t see much of it. If I pull my hand back, I can see more of it. If I put a mirror on my eye, I can only see my eye. If I put it back, I can see my face because the reflection of my face is further (i.e. smaller).
I’m very confused what you’re trying to say.
- Comment on Watch out, Microsoft Outlook could soon give away when you're sneakily working from home 6 months ago:
Do VPNs make that feature kind of pointless? We can’t access most things from home without going through a VPN. Every where I’ve worked (and gone to school) was like that.

Does your RSVP have options for remote vs in person? My options are “accept”, “decline”, and “tentative.” If I want to tell someone I’m remote that day, it needs to be a separate message.
