I'm inspired to write more in 2026 and publish more of the things I just make for myself.

It's regarding my recent I-485 filing and my spouse's green card eligibility. Due to unforeseen family circumstances, my spouse and I are considering divorcing, but I want to ensure that my spouse's green card application is not jeopardized in the process. As the primary applicant, I am committed to supporting my spouse through the green card process before finalizing our divorce. To navigate this complex situation effectively, I would greatly appreciate your expert guidance on the following questions:

1. What are the potential risks to my spouse's green card eligibility if we proceed with the divorce after the application is approved?

2. What are the potential risks to my spouse's green card eligibility if we initialize the divorce before the application is approved?

3. What steps can I take to demonstrate the bona fide nature of our marriage and minimize any suspicions from USCIS regarding the timing of our divorce?

4. In the worst-case scenario, could my own green card application be jeopardized by this situation, and if so, what precautions can I take to protect my own immigration status?

A green card through marriage comes initially as a “conditional” / 2 year card, and then your husband would have to apply to remove the conditions (ie show he’s still married) after that two year period. If you get divorced before the green card is even processed it might not make it that far…

Heh, I like this. But I also keep reading that simply holding "good" posture is not helpful, and that changing position (including to slouch, recline, rest on a elbow etc) protects against muscle spasm from holding the same position. I suppose this implementation could help with that too though. Slouch a bit, get reminded to lean back, repeat etc.

I think of the extension as a nice occasional reminder. I personally use it almost like "exercise". Turn it on for a while when I'm casually browsing, and it just helps build a habit of checking my posture. It's just one more tool I use on my health journey.

I appreciate the tech and effort that went into this, but the assessment criteria could maybe be given a few options to suit individual desires/needs.

(Plus I need one to tell me to stop standing too much, or standing but not moving maybe, after incurring some foot problems due to excessive standing desk use during covid lockdown)

However, my neighbour is a career academic with a PhD in human factors, and just last Friday was telling me he had been searching for statistical validation for twenty years that maintaining "good posture" while sitting was beneficial, and has yet to be able to come up with anything even vaguely statistically meaningful.

His take is, any sitting posture is bad for you, if maintained or preferred excessively.

Seems you are good however, as long as you change often enough to balance out or average out the various "curl up" and "stretch out/arching" positions.

This is unless you have a particular injury, or scoleosis etc and have certain positions you need to avoid.

Otherwise, just slouch around, but change semi regularly.

So it would be good if somehow it could tell you too much curl, too much arch/stretch, or too long in one position, instead of deviation from an absolute. But this starts getting complicated on first inspection.

The desire for "good" posture, along with many other things, falls into the category of "are you telling me something you know, or something that someone told you?".

Question everything.

Thanks for taking a look. Currently the "posture detection" is only considering the Y-axis deviation of your right eye from a predetermined baseline value, but if there's enough interest it could be expanded to consider those specific positions. MoveNet, the pose detection model I'm using is capable of that.

Interesting idea. I wonder if it would be better if the camera was from the side instead of the front (I know this isn't really doable for most). The thought process here is, should there be a calibration routine to compensate not just for the height of the monitor but also the position of the webcam? As I write this, I am using very bad posture--slouching back, head craned forward, etc, but my eyes would be in the "green" area on a 2D plane. Two lenses would help a bit with depth perception from the front.. so two webcams.. one from the monitor's bezel and one from the external webcam.

Currently the extension relies on you to set the "good posture" baseline. You sit up to what you think is good posture, set the baseline, and then when you start slouching you'll move from the green to red.

Agreed with every word of your comment but

> your brain doesn't wear out from thinking the way your back wears out from carrying boxes.

this is not obvious at all.

I worked as a mover in NYC for years before becoming a software developer. Even though I make more money and have an easier life in many ways now, the mental fatigue of working a "knowledge" job is stressful in ways that outweigh most of my hardest physically and emotionally taxing days moving.
