I worry that this also has a rose tinted glasses effect on early user reviews. The only people leaving reviews for the first few days are going to be the people already invested enough to pay extra for early access, and they may be more willing to overlook issues with the game.

Finally something I'm actually qualified to weigh in on! I'm the lead UI developer for an EHR software (not saying which one or getting into details--it'd be pretty easy to figure out my identity).
First, to be fair, it's possible that the software they're using is genuinely terrible. They don't say which EHR. I've heard this kind of thing from providers before, though, and it's usually that they don't know how to use the software. From the way the article describes the provider, it sounds like they're stuck in paper and don't want to learn a new way of doing things. On the one hand, fair enough--patient care should be their primary concern. On the other hand, patient care is so much easier, faster, and more accurate in an EHR.
In my EHR you select a patient and can get a full visit summary on any visit the patient has ever had with a couple of mouse clicks. Immunizations, clinical notes, radiology, goals, problems, vitals, education--everything that happened during the visit. There are built-in tools for reminders that automatically notify you of things that are important for the visit based on previous visits, contraindication checks for medications, tracking of fluid balance, integrated documentation for clinical reference and distributing to patients, etc, etc.
That's not even to mention things like compliance for clinical quality measure reporting, integrating with state immunization registries, easy export of data to external facilities (eg, CCDA), using digital signatures for non-repudiation of controlled substance prescriptions, automagically pinging requests and data around to the different departments, etc. So many things that used to rely on a human squinting at a paper now just happen, with a built-in audit trail.
As for billing: we (developers, testers, and project/product managers) HATE billing. It's a necessary evil, but we package it off as a separate plugin. It can pull procedure codes and the like from the database to do its job, but to suggest that billing is the only reason to use an electronic health record is astoundingly ignorant. Patient care is the primary concern of everyone who actually has hands on the application. Most of us are former providers who just happen to be alright at coding.
The author explicitly says that they didn't tamper with headers or user agent. I'm neutral/not knowledgeable on the rest of your comment, but wanted to clarify that point.
Same. Minigalaxy bridges the gap a little, but it's missing critical features that only GOG could implement. GOG have had Linux gamers pestering them for Galaxy on Linux forever. Seems like a natural fit, but they've ignored it, teased that it's happening, ignored it again... I eventually gave up and went all-in on Steam. Valve have done everything they can to make Linux a class-A member of their ecosystem, so that's where my business goes.
I had never heard of it. Going to give it a go! I've been having trouble pacing myself to keep up with what I want to read. Thanks!
Have you made the terrible life-altering mistake of playing with Space Exploration? I've fallen into a bottomless pit of K2+SE
Related question for you: on the Animals and Pets community there's a sidebar requesting that images be uploaded elsewhere to lower the cost associated with hosting it locally. I made a post with an image hosted elsewhere (vgy.me), but the image on the finished post seems to be hosted from beehaw? I linked this URL, and my beehaw post is serving the image from this location.
Is it expected that beehaw/lemmy is rehosting the image? Or am I misunderstanding and it's something like a virtual file that's cached on beehaw temporarily and otherwise just passes through to the third party host? Just want to be as gentle on the servers as possible. Thanks!
Same thing we do every night, Pinky; try to ~~take over the world~~ make the factory grow. And maybe some Diablo IV, if I can get the new smelting annex finished early. Edit: oh shit, Mask of the Rose is out. Man, June is packed for gaming.
I've been maining Linux on my gaming rig for about a decade. It's way better now with modern Proton/Steam. Most games run great. Some have weird issues that will take some extra work or need a special version of Proton. A few are completely incompatible, like Destiny 2 (requires some gnarly security software that Bungie isn't willing to support on Linux).
You can check the ProtonDB site for the games you want to play to get an idea of what to expect. I notice about a 5% performance drop in Linux compared to Windows for most games, but that may have to do with the extra stuff I have running in the background on Linux for work/dev.
I love Linux and advocate its use, but if Windows is meeting your needs don't feel like you have to change. If you do try it, it's a good idea to start with a dual boot and jump back to Windows if a game you want to play doesn't work in Linux. Or if you hit an issue you just don't want to deal with right then. Computers can sense when it's been a long day and you only have 20 minutes to play.
NTFS is fine in Linux. I have a dual-boot setup for when I need to run or test something in Windows, and I use my Windows install drive as a Steam library in both. When I swap back and forth Steam occasionally does a file integrity check, but I don't typically have to redownload anything as far as I can remember. The only caveat is that if a game has both a Windows version and a Linux version I have to set my Linux library to use Proton for the game instead of the native Linux version, otherwise, yeah it'll see the files are wrong when I switch and redownload.
I have an Index and it was seamless for me. Everything runs fine in Proton, and I didn't have any performance issues with my 2070 super. Tried the same games in Windows and it was the same experience, plus a couple of FPS (I assume because it wasn't going through DXVK). Can't speak to your other questions, though--those are outside of my experience.
Ah, I feel a bit silly! I tried looking for things on Etsy using Finland in the search, which turned up a bunch of Finland-themed stuff from US sellers. Based on that I assumed Etsy wasn't a thing in Finland. I didn't realize there's a filter option for the seller location. Thanks!
