Gina@lemmy.wtfto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is it better or worse for your vision to display text on your smart phone as small as possible?English46·15 days agoPerlyWhirl (https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/1cx9qe3/comment/l52ia12/)
Reading small font text has not been shown to cause damage to the eyes (although you may experience eye strain from prolonged accommodation). However, long-duration near work has been found repeatedly to be associated with a greater risk of developing myopia or nearsightedness: https://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12889-022-14377-1
I’m a visual psychophysicist. We often recommend that people take breaks when doing near-work. The 20-20-20 rule: look at something that is 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes.
Gina@lemmy.wtfto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•In the digital age, it's going to be harder for ICE agents to hide their identities than it was for Nazis trying to evade justice post WW2.English36·18 days agoThat’s so bold of you to assume they’re making the high school bullies do their own paperwork.
We couldn’t even get them to fill out a single page card for the national crime database.
Gina@lemmy.wtfto Technology@lemmy.world•Sales of Hard Drives for the End of the World Boom Under TrumpEnglish1·18 days agoReminds me of a billionaire who went “woke” because he did the research and realized it’s far far far more effective to just start building farms around his home city then building a fancy bunker for him to die in. Actually building public infrastructure with redundancy.
Gina@lemmy.wtfto Technology@lemmy.world•Sales of Hard Drives for the End of the World Boom Under TrumpEnglish4·18 days agoAlso society isn’t going to collapse overnight.
That’s the other thing. Society is more likely not to collapse, but just adapt. Half your country could be wiped out by a nuke. If the capitol was taken out then you’re just entering government less warzone like Darfur. They still have trade etc in those regions. Eventually surviving external government exert influence and prop up their preferred government.
Or the capitol survives, the housing market crashes, everybody becomes poor, disgruntled young guys force through a vote for a strong daddy to lead them through this tough time.
The movie “the road” is horrible but unlikely. The Last of Us military city states is more probable. Or just reading a history book.
Gina@lemmy.wtfto Technology@lemmy.world•Sales of Hard Drives for the End of the World Boom Under TrumpEnglish1663·19 days agoMy problem with preppers is the over estimating on whether they’ll be in a position that these skills will have any effect, and the under valuing on steps we could just take to not have this future in the first place.
Like, you’ll need a farm right off the bat, or your first steps in any guider are how to violently take somebody else’s land. Followed by step two, keeping that land from other humans who don’t want to die.
Instead of prepping, become nomadic scroungers or live in a fricking farming commune in the first place. Basically descend a couple levels of societal development and you’ll already be self sufficient and ready. Like the Amish.
Or, you know, voting for politicians who listen to scientists.
Anything beyond being self sufficient for a month is overkill in my opinion.
Windows is idiot proof
Could we at least add more idiot support to system crashes?
Windows has a QR code for you to scan, you can make a personalized recovery drive so that it restores your computer, ctrl alt delete gives you options to click on.

Gina@lemmy.wtfto Memes@lemmy.ml•"If you didn't want fascism you should have voted!"English423·21 days agoTheir consequences. Voters don’t vote for somebody else other than the geriatrics that thinks everything is peachy.
And what’s this lawsuit BS. The Green Party somehow still exists as Republican lite.
Gina@lemmy.wtfto Memes@lemmy.ml•"If you didn't want fascism you should have voted!"English219·21 days agoAnd what were the consequences? They all re-won their primaries.
Gina@lemmy.wtfto Memes@lemmy.ml•"If you didn't want fascism you should have voted!"English2626·21 days agoPrimaries exist. Show up and vote for the boring elections too.
Yeah, shittiest shit stains figured out they could blast on Tik Tok. And Tik Tok sees no problem inserting these videos between “why do we use cinnamon on everything” and “why is the sky blue”

Gina@lemmy.wtfto Technology@lemmy.world•Swiss officials not following EU use of burner phones for US travelEnglish1·22 days agoAn onion article saying JFK was taken out by the military industrial complex. And somebody accused a gay guy of having an alias which matched a name in the Warren commission report. Coincidentally the gay dude travelled for business and at the time the CIA interviewed traveling business people for info on their travels as part of data collection. So obviously a CIA agent.
Last of all, they did not need to fucking shoot him in public, they already had a fuck ton of classified techniques trying to take out the Cuban president.

Gina@lemmy.wtfto Technology@lemmy.world•Discord's face scanning age checks 'start of a bigger shift'English4·25 days agoWell fuck me if history/persistence isn’t really a problem in an age when we were being warned the government was spying on everything.
And they can’t “fix it” without breaking it.
