Woman blinded by parasites after making mistake with her contact lenses
  • I think your guess is much more plausible. Because I understand that the trapped bacteria is a risk to the eyes, as well as a lack of oxygen, when sleeping with lenses.

    Woman blinded by parasites after making mistake with her contact lenses
  • Why contacts though? Are they making the tears in the cornea to let in the parasites?

    Curious if I'd be at risk for taking off my glasses and going for a swim

    Google why?
  • Android looks good. Why do they have the change the look again when not nearly every app is even using Material You?

    I'd rather performance, power, and more capabilities like desktop mode.

    Apex Legends is taking away its support for the Steam Deck and Linux
  • Someone did the math on Twitter.

    There is about 2900 Linux gamers playing Apex.

    So even if 100% of Linux gamers cheated it could in no way be the majority.

    What I think happened is the dev team struggled to solve the problem so they used Linux as a scapegoat when leadership came down on them.

    "It is so disastrous": MAGA men are freaking out that wives may be secretly voting for Kamala Harris
  • It is a crime in Texas to take photograph s within 100ft of a voting machine

    It was annoying too, because Texas has huge ballots, and I took notes on my phone to help me.

    No Cyan, no printing
  • Yep they do.

    In my community college we had an assignment to make a board game.

    One student wanted to make a Monopoly-like game. One day police stormed the school library. That kid had tried to one-side print dollar bills.

    Even though they were obviously fake representations, the presence of the dollar bills triggered alarms.

    It's driven me to believe that the reason printers aren't open source, isn't only because of how difficult the engineering in print heads are, but also that printers must have certain protections like these alarams in place.

    why do our noses & anuses think different types of paper are softest?
  • You touch your finger to your lip, what your brain "says" is that your lips are being touched by something, and the signal from your finger takes the back seat. You touch the same fingertip to your thigh your brain says the finger is the primary sensation, and you feel the thigh via the finger rather than the finger via the thigh the way the lips worked.

    This was wild to experience. Thank you for the interactive educational lesson.

    If Lemmy had a c/bestof, I'd be cross-posting. Thank you southsamurai!

    A Pregnant Teenager Died After Trying to Get Care in Three Visits to Texas Emergency Rooms
  • I swear I've read about four of these occurrence this week.

    Does anyone know if there is a record of all preventable deaths from complicated pregnancies?

    So I can drill this into my suddenly pro-life anti-immigrant Trumper family?

    What desktop enviroment do you use and why?
  • VRR, HDR.

    It also had an early patch for nvidia support on Wayland earlier in the year.

    I believe mutter-vrr has gotten merged though, behind a dconf flag

    What desktop enviroment do you use and why?
  • Gnome on the laptop, its keyboard and touch gestures are the best for notebooks. I also like its simple design and reliability.

    KDE on desktop, I'd use gnome, but kwin has more gaming relevant features.

    Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages
  • Or bring server browsers back and let server mods handle it.

    I've rarely, if ever, had a bad time using a server browser.

    A more modern idea. Put all the chesters into the same lobbies through matchmaking

  • I noticed with QPR3, the back gesture in Sync now shows a black screen during the animation.

    Could this be fixed? I read it'll become default in Android 15.

    I don't know if this is desired, however I personally would appreciate compatibility reports for newly released games.

    Since I preordered with early access I can contribute.

    System:

    CPU: 7800x3d GPU: 7900xtx Nitro+ Memory: 32gb ddr5 6000mhz OS: Fedora 38 KDE (Wayland session) Runtime: Proton Experimental

    Game launches flawlessly and remains stable when alt+tab'ing out of the window.

    Steam overlay flickers if you open it in game but does function.

    Settings:

    4k medium, VSync off, no FSR gets me mid 60's fps.

    4k medium, VSync off, FSR2 Quality gets me 80fps (with dips into low 70's).

    (Default) 4k medium, VSync off, FSR2 with 50% resolution scale. In this configuration I get 100-120fps.

    Unfortunately, the game does not have VRR so it locks to the monitors refresh rate (manually set to 120hz in my case).

    As such the game does stutter when it dips in frames so you may want to target your 1% lows or avg fps to guarantee a smooth experience.

    8/10

    At medium the game does look good, although the sprites for fire could be better and have more bloom.

    If they add VRR, and steadily work to optimize performance this could easily reach a 10/10.
