I've got some bad news for you about ActivityPub then.
Chozo
Contact wearer of 20 years here. It can't get behind the eye, that part's a myth; there's connective tissue surrounding the entire eyeball along the backside, so nothing's getting through there without tearing through, and it'll take more than a contact lens to do that.
It can get stuck along the sides, though, but usually only if it's folded or creased somehow when you put it in. It's not painful, necessarily, but it is a very uncomfortable feeling; it almost feels like choking, but through your eyeballs. It triggers a gag reflex for me. But you can usually fix it by closing your eyes and gently rolling your eyes around a bit.
It's pretty much impossible for a lens to get stuck or "lost" in the eye. If it's in your eye but not in the right spot, you'll know it.
They're perfectly horrifying.
Thanks for pointing this out. I'd never heard of this site before. From their front page: https://fedia.io/media/dd/05/dd05739fe84d5754670a5985712d74afa8a49f6dae81a8afa01e460ff04ccf11.png
That should tell you a lot about whether or not to invest any energy into reading stories from there.
Yeah, I dunno what the facepalm is supposed to be about. 99% of the rest of the world has about 1% of the tech knowledge that the average Lemmy user is going to have. These scams are wildly effective, and it's not really a matter of general intelligence as far as who falls victim to them.

better noise cancellation on the mic (though I doubt anyone uses that)
Oh brother, do people ever use the controller mic. They especially love to do it when they play music from their phone speaker on their lap. And they never use headphones, so when you unmute yourself to say "Hey, can you turn your mic down a bit? I can't hear the game," you end up blowing out your own eardrums hearing yourself through their TV at full volume.
That frog was the only thing that kept me going some days. Like... yeah, the rain is pretty nice, ain't it, lil guy?
They still do, what are you talking about? This is an FBI case, so the attacker is most certainly in serious federal trouble.
This has to be illegal. I feel like you can't just ship people across state lines for a job you misled them about.
One of my biggest regrets in life was passing on an opportunity to see him perform. A friend had some tickets and invited me, but I wasn't able to get the day off work. "I'll catch him when he tours again next year", I thought. He died later that year.
Great, now anything that worries advertisers will be considered "political and sensitive". Surely nothing can go wrong with that.
