1·5 days agoAgain their effort might look different, which means yeah if that kid has dyscalculia and a calculator helps, then yeah that is no problem. However, dyscalulia is also just… weird. Its highly different in different students and iirc it does tend to go away eventually. Effort is important in that, but so is being understanding of how tiring dealing with it can be, so breaks in that increased effort for that student (be it calculator or other tools or just literal breaks) is important. And my point with the snark on writing being: Of course you can find issue with any general statement if you just decide to throw something hyper specific into it, yes of course there are always exceptions, but those can be dealt with on an individual as needed basis.
My problem is not with calculators. Its with refusing to put in effort to learning something because you’ve decided something could do that for you and so there is zero reason to learn anything at all. However, even for those who struggle, a calculator takes you out of the problem, often multiple times per problem, and makes re-entering that problem, remembering where you were, what you were doing, and how you were doing it harder for many with disabilities as well. The goal of effort in not using calculators is to keep you inside the problem, so you don’t break your chain of thought and can more easily finish the entire problem. Obviously, that takes time as at the start it will actually take you out of the problem longer as you have to do those in your head, but as you get used to it that helps build the mental connections needed.

2·7 days agoYeah potential and job are often mutually exclusive. Unless you’re like a teacher or something where you’re actually helping people and not just a person making boss more money.
Find something you enjoy that can give back to the community. Help establish something cool, or help foster/TNVR cats or dogs, or find something you could do that is fulfilling and helps you not feel like you’ve done nothing. Enjoy yourself.

32·11 days agoYes there are zero bots running windows and nothing would ever inflate those numbers pleased clap.
Sometimes it’s the last (or only) word sent so I just, type and hit enter and as I hit enter I see it swapping it to something wrong and there’s nothing I can do about it.

10·18 days agoIf you think corporations deserve empathy and that gay people are the devil then it is bad to be on the list I guess? But like idk man sounds like a list I’d rather be on than not.
Oh yeah I forgot about that part.
That would be interesting too see for sure.
Thanks. Figured I’m not on it as I don’t post that much but I was curious… Whats even left of lemmy after you remove all of that like 6 posts?

Technology@lemmy.zip•Your Cookware Got Worse On PurposeEnglish
31·23 days agoTalks up made-in but then doesn’t suggest them?
Eh, dudes running a business fairly well (as in both making money and customers mostly happy)
30% cut is basically the same as physical and comes with handling downloads and updates and all on their servers. Could be less for sure, but when it started that was mostly reasonable. The fact that large games go down to 20% and smaller games are stuck at 30% sucks.
The gambling I agree, just because it is common across the gaming industry doesn’t make it okay. Even if how they do it is “less bad” it’s still shitty. The milking users idk what you mean outside the gambling bit but sure.
Shitting on game-dev? Him saying they need to learn AI? I agree fuck that.
The steam machine is not horrible value for a prebuilt, it’s just a horrible time for a prebuilt, and its tiny ass form factor makes for weird choices that limit it but like whatever. If you want a tiny thing to put under the TV to play games it ain’t bad, but there are also other options. Selling at a loss is generally an anticompetitive strategy to get market share over those who cannot afford to so I would generally disagree on that.

World News@lemmy.world•Israeli settlers held US lawmaker Ro Khanna at gunpoint in occupied West BankEnglish
191·1 month agoMachine gun, assault rifle, whatever. It shoot many bullets make you go owwie.
It is a US made gun in general and is used by the US military and thus very likely to have been supplied by them I think was the point? Sure it could’ve been made elsewhere, but seeing US military gear used to essentially kidnap a US politician should be a bigger deal than a lot of media is making it.

19·1 month agoJust because that’s how corporations frame it don’t mean it SHOULD be that way. Like it doesn’t matter what they want to call it, if I bought something it should be mine and I should be able to pass down my collection I spent money on.

Me, not looking at the community this was posted in just like…. What… the fuck… OH Linux that makes WAY more sense.
