My understanding is that acanthamoeba are basically everywhere, and the contacts being worn when swimming or showering are actually one of the main factors in acanthamoeba infection. They normally eat bacteria but they are opportunistic parasites, and I guess the contact gives them the opportunity.

Oh, absolutely. I would even say that description of their attitude towards workers rights is an understatement. I’m just talking about their lofty goals for the project and how even with the best engineers and best workforce in the world their stated timelines are physically impossible
You’d think. If I was the one paying for it, I would be changing providers but you know how that goes. I just work here, man.
Yep, haven’t had to work since I got my covid stimulus. Been on vacation ever since.
The automated voicemail transcriptions my work uses (medical office) recently switched to AI. In some cases it works really well, but if there are long periods of silence it will start to make things up. I’ve ended up with some pretty loopy messages when someone leaves voicemail with long silence at the end.
It’s almost like they set a bunch of absurdly unrealistic deadlines and now cannot figure out how to meet them
Thanks for letting me know I have new Neal Stephenson to read!
New distro coming to shelves near you: Depression Linux
Looks like they killed it lol. The site they were hosting it on, http://apologize.lol now redirects to info about them suing Musk
i hate it i hate it i hate it
True, but with the speed of light being constant as far as we know worrying about it is sort of a moot point
My understanding is the 1080 predated the RTX stuff by a generation, even when I was on Windows I don’t think the Nvidia drivers for the 1080 supported RTX well, if at all
I have a GTX 1080 and I’ve been gaming on Linux for over a year now. No issues. Only thing that you cant do is some of the new generation window managers (wayland) but even that is working well in the nvidia drivers that arent on stable yet. In any case, the previous generations window managers work great and if wayland doesnt work properly for you, you can just as easily do without it.
Point is, its worth it to make the switch. I set my partner up with Linux Mint when their machine didnt qualify for windows updates anymore and they’ve had no problems, games and all. And they would never touch the command line.
Would recommend
I don’t know. If your hands are on the levers and it is specifically your job to pull the levers in order to avoid disaster and you stand there staring while the trolley runs the people over, I would argue it’s at minimum gross negligence.
Source is here if you want it to feel more open source by building it yourself. See if you can do it for cheaper after factoring in your labour time.

I’m only a student in the field so NotADoctor™ but under normal conditions your tear film layer and blinking keep other liquids out of your eyes. When wearing contacts in water or when cleaning them with tapwater, there is a small amount of the fluid that gets trapped against the eye. If that fluid is fresh water contaminated with acanthamoeba, it provides ample opportunity and time for the acanthamoeba to break through the layer and the contact lens prevents it from being blinked away.
